A Balanced Performer, Great Buy, Superb TV
on September 24, 2016
Posted by: LJG500
The best professional reviews of the KU6300 series are probably from Consumer Reports and 4K.com. This series is at the bottom of the Samsung UHD (Ultra High Definition) TV line. Yet it excels in multiple areas, and as would be expected for a budget set, sacrifices in others. Its overall picture quality is excellent- clarity, color, contrast, brightness, sharpness, etc. are superb. 4K up-scaling and Smart TV functions are as good as any TV in the Samsung line. Sound is adequate, though you would likely couple this unit with a soundbar/sound-base or home theater system. Smart remote functions also suffice, though again, you would likely use this TV with a universal remote such as one from the Logitech Harmony series.
Out of the box, you should definitely experiment with picture/audio modes and other settings to achieve the optimal result. One of the chief compromises of the set relates to its HDR support. Samsung labels this unit, as they do other TVs in their KS series, as “HDR Premium.” The meaning of this is quite frankly confusing for most consumers. Ideally HDR compliance requires panels that support 10 bit or greater color and 1000 nits or more peak brightness. In addition, the TV must of course be able to read and translate the HDR signal. The KU series, including the 6300 models, does the latter, but does not comply with the HDR hardware specs. The result however is still striking and pleasing to the eye and I believe gives a much closer approximation of the visual intent of the Director. Because of the above, while picture quality watching a Blu Ray 4K UHD DVD is still superb on the KU6300- it is probably not as eye popping and impressive as on the Samsung SUHD (Super High Definition) TVs.
The overall impression of this set is a well balanced performer and a good buy. I believe you would have to spend 70%-100% more to obtain a true HDR set- such as one in the Samsung SUHD TV KS series. And the truly best picture from the KU6300 series or more fully compliant HDR models still requires playing a 4K HDR Blu Ray DVD from the relatively small number of quality titles available. However, the much wider selection of HD/1080P Blu Ray- still looks quite good on all the Samsung UHD models because of great overall TV picture quality and a superb up-scaling engine. The relatively small number of 4K streaming titles also look good on these sets- though I still believe Blu Ray- whether 4K HDR or just HD is better than streaming because of the high streaming compression rates used by Amazon, Netflix and others.
My Best Buy number: 4152302722

Solid Construction, Excellent Display
on July 6, 2016
Posted by: LJG500
Solid, above average aluminum construction and a very good, 1080p IPS display. Performance is good, but not exceptional with the Braswel N3160 CPU, however, 4GB of ram and 32 gb of flash memory are above average for a consumer grade Chrome laptop. Lack of SD card reader is puzzling- but having two USB 3 ports is helpful, for example, when connecting to an external hard drive. Be advised that some Chrome extensions can hamper performance, and if ad blocking is use, I would recommend Ublock Origin versus Adblock, as the later significantly decreases performance (Chrome Web Store). Finally, this laptop should run Android apps sometime in 2016/2017.
