Samsung offers a lot of TVs at a lot of different price points. From the first step on the Quantum Dot HDR ladder with the KS7000 up to this KS9500, we've seen impressive specs across the lineup. But the KS9500 really makes its mark.

Excellent peak brightness ; Superb High Dynamic Range ; Tizen smart OS works wonderfully ; The TV looks great ; Color performance is fantastic ; Deep, rich black levels ; Amazing contrast ; Great motion control performance

Great TV for movies especially HDR content. ; Can get extremely bright and has very low reflection. ; Great gaming TV with low input lag.

Loses picture quality at an angle.
