Samsung has thrown the chunky remotes out and what the users get with this curved UHDTV is a sleek IR universal remote, which can control the regular Indian DTH set top box as well. One can control the round on-screen pointer with the remote, enabling users to type, access internet apps and STB channels with it. This TV can connect to the internet as well. We got up and running in matter of minutes. Just keep your Wi-Fi password handy and you will be connected in 2 minutes.
Now to the fun part. Samsung Series 9 UHDTV has 4K resolution, which is 4 times better than Full HD 1080P. We ran some ultra HD content on this TV and results were spectacular. This TV is built for large rooms and halls. You need to be at least 5 feet away to enjoy its spectacular colours and pictures. There is no ghosting and we get a smooth image.

Half way through we did find that the curve is a bit gimmicky and one really does not need it. It does add slight depth, but reduces the viewing angles. This means you cannot view the television properly if you are sitting close to the sides of the TV.

In the end it does boil down to the price, doesn’t it? Samsung is asking for Rs 4,49,900 for this TV. This is a lot to ask for just 65-inches. Yes the colours are brilliant, blacks are good and sound is nice. But, there are many HDTV’s from Samsung in the 8 and 7 series that are one fourth the price of this TV and have similar features. But Samsung didn’t build this TV for everyone. They built it for luxury driven customers, who are far and few. So, if you have the money and want the latest, this TV set is just what you need.
