And this is full review Samsung UN55HU8550 85-Inch 4K Ultra HD 120Hz 3D Smart LED TV (2014 Model), Details are as follows.
While Samsung has reserved its best technologies for its flagship HU9000 curved TV, the HU8550 (available in 50, 55, 60, 65, 75,and 85-inch screen sizes) is still very much a high-end TV, sporting features like a Clear Motion Rate of 1,000 (it's a 100Hz panel), a new local dimming method called UHD Dimming, a quad-core processor to ensure operation smoothness, and a built-in DVB-T2 tuner for tuning in to digital TV broadcast. But unlike the HU9000, the HU8550 lacks a built-in camera. Design-wise, we like that Samsung didn't try to be too fancy, and has gone for a simple brushed metal stand (non-swivel though) and a thin metal trim around the frame. The focus is on the giant panel, and rightly so.
Speaking of future-proofing, arguably our favorite feature of the HU8550 (in fact, for all of Samsung's 4K TVs) is its ability to upgrade to the latest hardware (sans the panel, of course) and software simply by plugging in an external box that Samsung calls the One Connect box or Evolution Kit down the road. With this upgrade path, your investment will not become obsolete as fast compared to other TVs. That said, it's not as if the HU8550 is lacking anything. Out of the box, it already supports standards like HEVC, HDMI 2.0, MHL 3.0, and HDCP 2.2.
Samsung's 2014 Smart Control remote connects to the TV via Bluetooth, and is delightful to use. We find the touchpad handy for scrolling webpages; and even for menus that don't support it, there are arrow keys to fall back on (or you can just use the standard remote). On the UI front, Samsung continues to improve its Smart Hub interface, and this version has a new Multimedia panel that combines the previous Photo, Video, Music, and Social panels. Compared to LG's generous use of animations, it can still look a tad intimidating, especially to non-advanced users.
Another feature we like is Multi-Link Screen, a contextual multitasking mode that lets you split the screen real estate, so you can do things like having live TV on one half of the screen and contextual search results on the Web browser, relevant YouTube video content, or a compatible app up on the other half at the same time. A Soccer mode that allows you to enlarge a selected area on the screen is also pretty nifty, but we aren't fans of the pumped up colors and contrast this mode brings.
PERFORMANCE - SAMSUNG HU8550 4K Ultra HD
At a viewing distance of 1,5m, it was hard not to be impressed by the big screen and the boatloads of details that the HU8550 brought. Even though the HU8550 didn't come with the PurColor and Auto Depth Enhancer technologies like the curved HU9000, the sense of 3D-ness was very much present in the Grand Canyon Adventure, a 4K documentary that was on the Samsung UHD Video Pack (basically a hard drive preloaded with 4K material). In fact, using just the standard picture mode and without doing any kind of calibration, we found images to exhibit just the right amount of 'pop'.
The HU8550 also excelled when we switched to 1080p content. Even though it had been upscaled, details in the Blu-ray version of Skyfall still looked super-sharp. We also didn't experience any judder for 1080p24 2D material.
Although the HU8550's local dimming method relied on fewer zones than the curved HU9000, we found the former's backlight control to work well across different types of materials.
| Sure, during low APL scenes in The Dark Knight, its black level performance, while good, was still no match for OLED TVs, but in movies with primarily highAPL scenes and bright colors, it was capable of the brightest whites. The TV also exhibited very good motion clarity, thanks to effective black frame insertion implementation; even with the LED Clear Motion setting turned on, there was hardly any flicker. Lastly, 3D image brightness remained high, and the slight crosstalk of the active 3D system didn't ruin the viewing experience. For audio, the small front-firing speakers into the TV's cabinet actually did quite a good job, as we could quite make out the many multi-directional audio moments in the star Trek Into Darkness movie. The HU8550 also incorporates a Dolby MS11 multi-stream decoder that supports decoding of many of today's popular audio formats. Source : HWM Singapore magazine. |
