**New for 2014. Samsung’s 55-inch top of the line, first generation of Curved 4K Ultra HD TVs from Samsung. A 4K Ultra HD TV provides 3840 x 2160 resolution, which is four times the resolution of Full HD. This allows you to sit closer to a larger TV and get the immersive movie theater experience. Most movie theaters now use a 4K projector, so in effect you will have movie theater resolution in the home. The curved screen gives you a more immersive movie theater type experience and improves viewing angle and picture quality.
Advanced 4K Picture Quality: The Samsung UN55HU9000 4K 65-inch LED backlit TV is also 3D ready and comes with 4 pairs of Active 3D glasses (SSG-5150GB). It includes Samsung’s best Precision Black Local Dimming with the UHD Micro Dimming Ultimate LED edge backlight technology. It uses special edge mounted LEDs to enable the controlled lighting of variable size areas. This provides for better picture, deeper blacks, and contrast whether watching 2D or 3D. With this HDTV you can use the included 3D glasses with 3D Blu-ray players, and watch 3D specific programming as they come available on cable and satellite. The Ultra Clear Panel eliminates reflections, and boosts the contrast ratio. Included on the UN55HU9000 4K is Samsung’s best 1440 CMR (clear motion rate) anti-blur technology along with 120Hz to provide blur free, clear motion. This 4K Ultra HD TV has several new ways to interface with the TV, including Gesture control (using your hands), and voice control. Its built in camera has face recognition to bring up your profile, or use Skype. DLNA CERTIFIED® connectivity lets you remotely access music, video, and photos. The 4K display has over eight million pixels of resolution (regular 1080p HD has only 2 million pixels).

Smart-Review Commentary: For 2014, The 55-inch UN55HU9000 4K is Samsung’s first generation of Curved LED 4K TVs and comes fully loaded. 4K Ultra HD resolution will give you 8 megapixels of screen, versus only 2 megapixels in regular HD. This is the future of TVs and in the next couple of years, 4K will be the new standard, just as 1080p TVs are now. 4K Ultra HD is the same resolution as the movie theater, and will give you a more immersive experience, as the pixels are 4 times smaller, and you can sit much closer to the TV. Native 4K content is just emerging. Sony sells a 4K player which can download movies, Youtube already has 4K content. Netflix has announced 4K content in 2014, and we expect others to follow. Samsung Includes the One Connect Box which allows only one cable to connect to the TV, and to allow for future 4K upgrades as they become available. This TV comes with the latest 4K standards: HDMI 2.0 , and HEVC (h.265) decoder built-in. These will allow high speed 4K (60fps) and 4K Streaming. We previewed this TV at CES 2014, and it had a fantastic picture (see video below).
