Samsung has rolled out its ambitious 2016 lineup for the new 4K TVs that cost anywhere between $1,499 and $19,999.
All five Ultra HD TV lines sport the latest technology in terms of more accurate color and sharpness provided by quantum dot technology, an all new "Smart Hub," and a new feature called "Ultra Black" that creates deeper blacks on screens, thus reducing reflections.
Here's a breakdown of the impressive new lineup with their rollout dates and prices:
The KS8000
The cheapest way to this Samsung range would be the flat KS8000 series that comes in four variants. Priced at $1,799 and $2,799, the 55-inch and 65-inch models are already lined up at the stores, while the cheaper 49-inch and 60-inch models that cost $1,499 and $2,299 will become available for sale in May.
The KS8500
Next in line is the KS8500 series touting a curved display. Its 49-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch models are priced at $1,699, $1,999, and $2,999. The two larger models are already available and smallest sibling will join them in May.
The KS9000
With this series, we hit the top line of the flat 4K TVs. The 55-inch and 65-inch models, priced at $2,299 and $3,499, are already available in the market, whereas the larger 75-inch TV costing $6,499 comes in June.
The KS9500
The KS9500 represents the high-end curved series, second to the top-in-line KS9800. Buyers have to delve deep into their pockets for the 55-inch, 65-inch, and 78-inch KS9500 models that come in $2,499, $3,699, and $7,999. Apart from the 78-inch TV that will arrive in June, the other two are currently on display at the stores.
The KS9800
You have to be really rich or really ambitious to target this top-in-the-line series whose smallest size is the 65-inch model costing $4,499. The huge 78-inch and 88-inch models almost cost as much as many people's annual salaries, and flaunt their price tags at $9,999, and $19,999. The 78-inch variant becomes in available in May with the other two following hot on its heels in June.
The Korean player has belted out a lineup that would be tough to match for its competitors. This futuristic set of 4K TVs comes with a revamped, customizable user interface that lets you pull content from Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, as well as from service providers like DirecTV, Time Warner, and Dish. Its Smart Hub feature automatically syncs the remote control with any external device like Xbox or a Blu-ray player, thus giving new definition to the word "smart" in the tech world.
