Using that page, A1 and A2 have HDCP 2.2, HDMI 2.0a, and usually 90+% of DCI/P3. It seems the A3 category may be a little more limited on HDR ability than A1 and A2.
A1 will also have a more bright ability with HDR than A2. For example my 930C will hit over 100 footlamberts from what I have read, the Full array 940C will do over 200 footlamberts.

Interesting article...nice to see a good breakdown. I finally pulled the trigger on the 65" Samsung 9500 series that I've been drooling over all summer! Supposed to be delivered this Wednesday! 
I believe he's asking if those Sammy models have UHD blu ray standard (the way I'm reading it).
Yes they do is the answer. Some are better than others in that model.
I was at COSTCO yesterday and while I was there I saw 6 (yes 6) 4K TV's go out the door!
They has a Samsung 55 Inch SUHD (2015 model) going for $967!
But people were buying the larger screens as they felt the 55" looked too small. (It does look small in a giant warehouse club with a 70 inch next to the 55 inch.
The time for 4K is now.

I agree scott, our Costco is loaded with them at the front door.
To go along with the 940C price drop as I posted elsewhere, the 930C is now $3298.

If you buy an A1 or A2 now, you are in good shape.
Of course the 2016 models will most likely hit almost all if not 100% of DCI/P3 and could be cheaper... LG has confirmed the 2016 OLEDs will also have better motion.
Im more worried about the first gen players, I hope it goes better than the first couple of Blu-ray gens...
I kind of wonder what the sense is in all these ranges of offering. We are the discriminating group and it is a fairly small set. Most people will look at three things. Cost, size and labeling. 4K is a sellable feature because it is being promoted. However, the vast majority are more worried about the black bars than the picture enhancement features. The stores keep them all in torch mode, and I have noticed that the majority of uneducated households just leave it there.
The point is that I don't understand why Samsung and others market a half dozen 65" UHD sets. The general public will buy the base 600 series model. We geeks will bite the bullet and get the 9000 series. There is probably room for something halfway between at the $2000 price point.
The report itself gave us technobabble and too many options. I believe it mostly confuses.

I disagree on one thing. If you understand anything about the UHD spec (and you should before buying), it at least breaks out what displays meet certain requirements. Of course it isn't fair they do not all perform to the same UHD level, but this is a new tech, and we all know how early adoption is.
I would guess the mass could care less about HDR, HDCP 2.2, HDMI 2.0a and DCI/P3 color, and more about "is it 2160p?". The big kicker is going to be when folks figure out their old AVR's arent compatible if they get a UHD player with a single HDMI out...

I'm torn and will most likely wait. There is nothing wrong with my 60in 1080p now and it meets my current needs. However in the new house I'm sitting about 5ft further away and after running all the wiring in the walls and mounting it on the wall last weekend it looks small and I really need to go to 65 or 70
Again, that is talking about us geeks. 80% will listen through the TV speakers. The majority of those who want better sound will get a sound bar. This whole thing only matters to a very small percentage. My point is that we are willing to pay for quality, but 90+ percent don't know or care. So why have anything between the base and flagship model?
