Samsung’s new range of 4K TV for 2016 are smart, beautiful and make installation easy.

HD is gradually being overtaken by 4K, especially for big TV manufacturers this year. Vizio and LG have already announced their upcoming models, only Samsung’s latest lineup is yet to be announced.

All manufacturers of 4K television sets in their new lineups have started using quantum dot technology, which promises increased accuracy in colours in comparison to LED technology. Furthermore they also sport a revamped “Smart Hub” interface, which essentially streamlines the process of setting up your TV and its integration with your other new devices.

As you may have heard before, these “Smart Hubs” will serve as hubs to Samsung’s SmartThing Internet Of Things (IoT) platform, which makes the TV the centre of your entertainment and allows you to control a range of smart devices using, as you guessed it, your TV.

Your quickest road to a 4K Samsung TV this year, is the KS8000 which starts at $1,499 for the 49-inch model. The curved option, KS8500, will set you back by $1,699 for the same size.

If you are looking at bigger screen sizes, Samsung’s models go all the way to 65 inch. Naturally, as the size gets bigger, their costs go up as well.

If you form part of the picture quality police, you may want to take a look at Samsung’s 9 series: the 55 inch KS9000 costs $2,299 while its curved cousin the KS9500 costs $2,499. As always, curved equivalents costs a little more.

If you want the best 4K in Samsung’s stable, the KS9800 will set you back by $4,499 for the 65 inch model scheduled to be launched later in June this year. The KS9800 has a small bezel with a full array backlight, which will effectively mean the shades of black will look darker than anything other model that Samsung sells, despite all of them being edge-lit.

Samsung’s usage of the word “smart” does not restrict its TVs to just go online and apps. Smart has finally taken an evolutionary leap and its TV sets can now automatically recognize new devices as you plug them in and program their remotes to control them

For example if you were to connect a Samsung TV to a Xbox One for the first time, you will be able to naviguate the Xbox’s interface using your TV’s remote, with absolutely no additional setup.

Samsung’s Smart Hub technology can directly integrate itself into cables boxes from DirecTV, Comcast, Dish and Time Warner.
