Upscaling is very good. Picture is sharp and colors pop. One can really see the improvement in details. Would have been perfect if theres a glass front display panel and not curved. Overall, a very good player!

The initial plan was to go for the LG OLED ef9500, but I held off since i just could not justify shelling out that much money for it. Instead, I spent what felt like an eternity going over reviews for 4K LED tvs and it came down to choosing between this 65" model and the Sony 65XBR850C. With gut feel and some help from forums and rtings.com, I decided on Samsung. I almost ordered through costco since theirs have a darker bezel and the model wasnt available in-store at most BB locations but patience paid off, out of the blue it was suddenly available at a BB near me. Using some GCs and coupons, it ended up just costing around $1700 pre tax. Sweeeeeeet!!!! Ive only had the unit for 2 weeks and boy, oh boy! I sometimes catch myself wondering why they sell it at such price point because as far as Im concerned, it works and looks like a high end 4k set!!! Out of the box the picture looked amazing. I followed rting.com's calibration setting and just tweaked the backlighting a bit and so far Im a very happy camper!!! Blacks are inky and so unbelievably deep that sometimes I feel like its an OLED TV! True, the screen is on the glossy side but I use blackout panels on my windows so reflection is not an issue. Watching HD and 4k stuff on youtube alone is a treat! Until OLED 4k tvs become affordable for me, i will be sticking with and enjoying this amazing tv!
P.S., not sure if it really matters (forums say it does!), the unit I have has a TH01 panel!

IMO the steelbook was a bit meh so i went this edition since I had BB points to use anyway. No regrets. Cool-looking tin, and the free tee made the deal even sweeter. Thanks Best Buy!

30 capability
If 3D is included, do I have to use it to watch tv ?
The 3d feature can be turned on and off. Its not really essential for regular tv viewing but is ideal for watching blu ray movies for a more immersive experience.
