Video Editing and PC Gaming on a 40" 4K HDR TV

[@terminatorgir]

You're a lifesaver man. Was concerned about how this would be for video editing and you answered pretty much every question. Thanks!

[@the.jose.martinez]

Foxden your welcome! I'm happy the video helped 👍🏽

[@bestusernameever6249]

Thank you for the review. I know its a year, I'm going to upgrade my monitor and was deciding whether to buy a tv or monitor, now I know what I'm buying.

[@Soldier-zi6wg]

Agree I've been using a 40 inch 4k monitor for gaming and editing I got on EBay from Korea for $530 since the Summer of 2015 love it. Nice 4k tv too.

[@the.jose.martinez]

Thank you!

[@rauljohnpaul]

Seriously, best buy and/or samsung should be paying you for this video. Just purchased this and wow is it the perfect monitor. Excellent video!

[@the.jose.martinez]

+Raul John Paul Perez thank you!!! Great to hear you like it too 👍🏽

[@Dp3ch3Mod3UndrGround]

The 2017 MU6300 models are basically identical, to the 2016 model reviewed in this video. The only new addition is that now ALL hdmi inputs accept HDMI 2.0 4k @ 60Hz. So its better if you are hooking up other 4K devices. 2016 model only had that on one input.

[@treyatl2006]

yep... I'm picking one up today for 289. thanks for the review

[@eddiesanchez3986]

treyatl2006 where at?

[@treyatl2006]

Eddie Sanchez best buy is having a early black Friday sale. check your local best buy ad.

[@eddiesanchez3986]

treyatl2006 thanks.

[@pocpc1788]

bought this exact same tv on black friday and wow! 4k is the real deal, I don't think I can go back to 1080p lol..thanks a lot for the great review! keep it up!

[@the.jose.martinez]

Thank you!

[@SpykerSpeed]

I just ordered this exact TV from Best Buy today and I looked up video reviews...yours was the first (and only)! Thanks so much for this review and the advice on what settings to change. You earned yourself a subscriber!

[@the.jose.martinez]

Thank you and welcome to the channel!

[@janaya51]

just bought this tv for my console gaming for $300 :-).. thank you very much for the review. Appreciate it.

[@the.jose.martinez]

James Anaya awesome! Let me know how you like it!

[@ChurroWaffles]

I actually just bought this to pair with a PS4 Pro! Dude I am stoked. I just really am kinda worried about the input lag for FPS games.

[@the.jose.martinez]

Input lag should be really good in gaming mode for FPS. Let me know how it works for you!

[@htehgamer645]

i don't know how i never thought about using a tv as a pc monitor before i thought it would be too big but in your video it doesn't look that big, I'll be using it mainly for gaming, but thanks man just ordered it, Great video btw.

[@the.jose.martinez]

Thank you! You will love it! I thought it would be too big too but its actually a great size for gaming, editing, daily work emails and internet browsing!

[@mz8691]

Yeah, got mine for $289 from Best Buy when the early sale went up that day, i was researching for a bit and finally found this one before i knew of the sale so it was great. i purchased the PS4 Pro few days before this TV, was using a 65" Samsung 3D 1080P one of there 2015 high range models and the PSPro still looked amazing on that TV but i felt like i wasn't getting the Full experience so i decided to get a 40" 4k UHD for gaming and its fantastic!

[@the.jose.martinez]

$289 is a great deal! Happy to hear that you are enjoying it. I want to know how the tv holds up with the ps4 pro too so drop me a line when you can about it. Thanks!

[@iM7SnaKe]

just one point on nvidia control pannel, u said that u need to set the dynamic range to 0-255 in the settings, what u don't know is that you are forcing the nvidia card to control those settings, if u let at default that is let video player settings you gonna have the same exact final result and u can check it by your self. i did a lot of test video different video codecs and its the same thing, so just let it at default.

[@the.jose.martinez]

This is such a huge tip. Thank you for sharing this! 🙏

[@fantom5894]

Picked up the 40" ku6290 at BB for $300 in March and 55" ku6300 at Walmart a month later for $450. Great tvs

[@JDMPR725]

Great review!!! Just bought the UN40KU6300FXZA model from best buy. Using it on my gaming PC with a Strix GTX 1080. Hopefully with faith the newer version will leave me with the same experience even after months.

[@the.jose.martinez]

Awesome to hear!! You will love it. BTW, the Strix GTX 1080 is severely bad ass. Great choice!

[@JDMPR725]

Thanks. Keep making great videos and God bless.

[@the.jose.martinez]

Thank you!

[@FulciLives]

I just bought this exact TV tonight at BEST BUY and they had it priced at only $299.99 (which I think was an error as they had to over-ride the system to honor that price and then immediately removed the huge price "sticker" off the stack of these they had). Anyway it will be a few days before I get to set it up but I am so excited!

[@the.jose.martinez]

FulciLives awesome! I'm happy you go it for that price. It's worth it!

[@beastmodeoffon355]

I have a 65" 1080p Mitsubishi dlp tv in my bedroom. I know, way too big for my room. I actually want to upgrade and get this sense it has a better picture quality and the size is reasonable. Nice that it's 4k and affordable!

[@the.jose.martinez]

garricks 001 for sure! Big difference in size but I think you will be happy with the quality.

[@augustw2583]

awesome video! I saw my mom carying the tv almost the same model just the never version. And its my birthday tommorow, so i got so excited about it until i found a video saying that uhd tvs lags alot playing games. But your review on the tv made me so excited!!! I cant wait to get gaming in high quality :)

[@the.jose.martinez]

+August W awesome! And Happy Early Birthday!

[@sabusinessguru]

Another excellent video. However, I'm assuming the screen is AMOLED (as it is a TV) not IPS, so by inherit design I don't believe (but I could be wrong) the TV will not actually render high bit-depth at 10,12, or even higher (per color) and you are actually stuck at 6 or 8-bit (per color). My concern with video grading would be how much visual image quality is missing from 12-bit+ 422 or 444 video and how the display affects what you actually are doing if you push color/image too far by it not having a wide color gamut. I guess if you are editing master for commercial cinema in 444 you have the dough for a $30K monitor, but it would be nice to actually see all of the 422/444 RAW video we are all so drooling to capture these days. Would love to see a side-by-side comparison against a true high end 10/12/14-bit WCG 4K monitor. Keep up the good work!

[@The_Creative_Workshop]

I'm interested in this question because I would want to grade on a TV. Is it not possible to get UHD HDR10 10bit Panel TV

[@trailmommatravel]

So what do you think about this or any 4K tv screen as a monitor for my computer? Does it have a lag? Any special cables or programs needed to make it work seamlessly?

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Exactly ! People want a nice 120Hz 4K HDR monitor for their PCs The K6300 is the newer version. DUDE, you got a Gamer Girl girlfriend, marry her ! :-) So she can kick your butt in games happily ever after ! :-D

[@ArmchairInvestigator]

Yes! Best comment award goes to you! :)

[@the.jose.martinez]

I have to check out the 6300 now! thank you for pointing that out. BTW...I plan on it!! She kicks my butt in almost every game! lol

[@scottvick2156]

Gr8t video, it answered most of my concerns the only one left is what graphics card are u using?I have a 2008 Mac Pro using a AMD Radeon 7950 w/ 3GB of DDR memory. It has no Display port but 2 mini display ports, dual DVI and a HDMI port. will this display this tv at 4K @ 60Hz?

[@the.jose.martinez]

Hi Scott! To get the TV to display 4K @ 60hz, you may need to get the HDMI 2.0 plug and your graphic card may need to support it. You may still produce a 4k image, but im not sure you will get the full 60hz. I am not 100% though as the 7950 is a decent card. I had one in my 2010 Mac Pro and loved it. I currently use the GTX 1080 8GB founders edition from Nvidia. My girl uses a GTX 1060 3GB and still produces the 4k @60hz and no game has slowed her down. If you stick with Radeon, try out the 480 4GB or the 8Gb. If you are switching to Nvidia, try the 1050ti unless you are a hardcore gamer, then min should be the GTX 1060 3GB because of the pascal architect. the Nividia 970 and 980 are still great cards too, but then again so is your 7950. I would purchase a HDMI 2.0 cable from Amazon for $10. a.co/3MC85zS and see if you get the resolution. Thanks for watching!

[@scottvick2156]

Thanx TechJMedia for all the help. I purchased the 4K TV and it is working with my AMD Radeon 7950 w/ 3GB of DDR memory, running at 60Hz at 3840 x 2160 using the mini display port and a program called SwitchResX. The only thing that is crazy is I can't get the 60Hz unless I have another monitor plugged into the card along with the tv, with just the tv I get 4K at 30Hz. My set is now the tv with a 24" HP monitor on each side. It's kind of baffling, maybe I need to upgrade to either of the two graphics cards u have.

[@the.jose.martinez]

scott vick I've never seen that before where another monitor needs to be plugged in for the 60hz to kick on. Mmmm, I'm not sure what's causing that. Maybe check your nvidia 3D settings and see if it's on multi or single gpu display? If you do buy one, try out a 1060 or 1070. Even the 1060 3gb would work. I tried hooking up my Mac Pro 2013 and am getting the same thing as you. By itself, 30hz, with another monitor 60hz. Weird. Maybe it's a AMD thing?

[@cruzmi55iledestinygameenth47]

Great video .. I️ am setting up a similar set up ! W/ the 40 inch tv and 2 pc Monitor portraited in each side thanks this was a great help in making my decision

[@BoogieDownProduction]

Hey man I dont know all the technical reasons why but actually you should get better picture with YcbCr444 instead of RGB. They both look very similar to me though. Other than that 1 setting thank you very much for the tips on settings.

[@anthonyhershko]

Great video! But I'm unable to get RGB color on Nvidia (2700) settings.. I got Samsung UA50JU6400. The videos looks amazing but the pictures and websites look worse.. Do you have any idea? Thanks!

[@kreiger]

Was on the fence but just ordered from Best Buy. Good vid!

[@the.jose.martinez]

kreiger thank you!

[@aparnapandey6537]

TechJMedia how u connected ur pc on that TV?

[@raymondirizarry9500]

i would like to purchase this for my ps4...not the ps4 pro...the regular ps4...would this be good to make my games look nice?

[@zzVILLEzz]

Hi, excellent video. I want this tv for my pc. I currently have an LG monitor with resolution 2560.1080. I love my monitor but I'm curious about the 4K. Is it worth the change? Will the jump to 4k be noticeable? Both in games and the desktop. Sorry for my english I'm from Uruguay greetings and thanks

[@the.jose.martinez]

V1LL333 hi! I think it's worth the change of you have a decent graphics card that can push the 4K without dropping too much. If your a casual gamer you won't notice too much of a difference but if your a pixel peeker than the 4K is appreciated. Hope this helps.

[@zzVILLEzz]

Thank you very much ... I have a msi 980 ti and I believe next month I go for it ... greetings

[@Red_Dead_Director]

Does it come with the soap opera mode on automatically? (I hate that but I and everyone else should turn this off if it does) The only thing I'm worried about for gaming is the 60 hz refresh rate. But ... I'm considering this

[@henk376]

Cool Video... very informative.... I have a question can I play 4k video of the usb port. direct on the tv. please reply thanks...

[@the.jose.martinez]

I tried playing a4k video that i exported to a usb stick and it played the video in 4K. So it definitely worked for me if thats what you are referring to. thanks for watching!

[@henk376]

yes thanks.. I have a drone that I use to film and I record in 4k . I want to be able to plug in my usb direct to the tv to review the footage.

[@darkadia6520]

Thank you for the information definitely getting this when I get my new iBUYPOWER pc in a month! SO excited :D

[@the.jose.martinez]

Joe berdanke awesome and congrats on the ibuypower setup!!

[@the-entertainment477]

I have a 24" IPS screen with Full HD resolution for editing. But I'm thinking to purchase an additional TV to watch my content and movies in 1080p on a large screen, as well as to make editing on both screen and TV. Should I buy a 4K UHD TV 2020 version (43 "-50") for 1080p content or should I buy an earlier version of Full HD TVs (32 "-43") for 1080p content? Does 1080p content look better on Full HD TVs or same on 4K TVs? Or it looks worse in 4K TVs?

[@cairo69]

Great video! Have a few questions :). Is there a difference between this model and the UE40KU6020WXXN model? And what about the ms and respons time? I dont game competitive but I do enjoy games like overwatch or sometimes batttlefield and I wonder if it won't lagg/delay that noticable or have any motion blur? Could you please tell me what your experience is, if you find the time? Thank you!

[@the.jose.martinez]

Thank you! The response time is 28ms. I am not sure how it stacks up to that model. I don't get motion blur or noticeable lag or delay, but i am not a competitive gamer either. I do casual gaming and professional editing. It works perfect for this.

[@MarcusHorwood]

currently using a MacBook Pro 15” and am looking for a monitor or tv to run my photoshop on and my Xbox one x on at the same time. What would you recommend me getting. Also I have a 55” 4k tv but it is to big for me to edit on. Please help me

[@stevechavez83]

Great video bro!! I wish you 10k subs for it. I also wish you would've touched on responsiveness for gaming I want one but im worried about input lag for Street Fighter 5.

[@the.jose.martinez]

Steve Chavez thank you! I read that it has a 28ms input lag. Unfortunately I don't know if his is good or not as I just stated PC gaming a couple months ago. I can test it out for you though with street fighter 5 and let you know.

[@stevechavez83]

28 is pretty good for a 4k tv.......... Im just gonna get one, BB has em for $299 right now. Again thanks for the review.

[@the.jose.martinez]

Awesome, let me know how you like it! 👍🏽

[@FatTony1]

how do you only have 36 subs? you have better content then some channels with 1 mil

[@m1nt69]

Amazing review! Great information. Personally I have the Ku6300. Do you use Game mode instead of PC mode for better input lag? I am going to build a Ryzen PC next month :)

[@JupiterBear]

Thanks for the tips on the setup! I picked up the KU6290 as a secondary monitor and loving it. My only gripe is the stand is a little wobbly. Did you ever end up mounting it to the wall?

[@the.jose.martinez]

Yes, and it is well worth mounting it! I hated the wobble too. if you can, mount it on the wall, it looks great!

[@Superb_Legend]

OK not sure on the input with the GTX 1080 will I get 4k/60 with HDMI or is it limited to 4k/30

[@the.jose.martinez]

It depends on your GPU, but you will get 4K/60hz. However, i couldn't get this on a Mac Pro.

[@PoppyBlasted]

awesome review man u gained a sub!! is it perfect for video editing in premier pro 4k footage straight out my sony a6300?? in terms of accurate colors and overall crispy display?

[@the.jose.martinez]

Thank you! Yes, I edit Sony Fs5 and A7s ii 4k footage and it works perfectly. I had to adjust the color a bit to match it up to my lg, but it was just a few tweaks which mostly I answered in the video. but overall, the 4k video editing in premiere pro is awesome, the screen real estate is like nothing else I have experienced when multitasking or dynamic switching between adobe programs.

[@PoppyBlasted]

TechJMedia Dope man im going to order now ill keep u updated thanks!

[@PoppyBlasted]

TechJMedia we would all love to see a video specifically for video editing on this TV like the settings u use to get the best pic for video editing on this TV 4k editing to be exact.. I bet youll get alot more subs and views, and must of all love! appreciate it man thanks and advance!

How is reading text and working on large spread sheets on a TV compared to a monitor? Was debating if i can get away with this TV or do i need to get something like the Seiki Pro 40 SM40UNP.

[@the.jose.martinez]

The reading text on excel and the entire microsoft suite is excellent. But know that I am running this on a PC with the setting I described in the video. Otherwise the text was way off. I also have it as one single monitor use and scaled at 150% which gives it that retina text look at its native display. I compared the text side by side to my LG 34 inch and its identical. However its not usable as reading text on a Mac. Hope this helps.

[@OM3N1R]

Thanks for the quality vid. I just picked up a 49" Samsung Mu8000, which is beautiful. The problem is when I enable the HDMI UHD Color, it ghost nearly all the fine tune color settings in the tv menus. I do professional photo and video work too, so I need good color repro. I mean it's good, but it's not quite perfect. Any help appreciated on getting the menus accessible with UHD color on.

[@anchit1804]

Hey, How does it compare to a 1440p 34 inch monitor for editing documents and writing text. Also does it have good performance with mac too?

[@the.jose.martinez]

Not good for mac unless its a macbook pro. The hdmi only reads 30hz and its lagging with the mouse. PC is perfect. Mac Pro prior to 2013 is good with certain cards. the 1440 is a great monitor. the LG, samsung and asus are perfect for that aspect ratio. I have found myself going to the tv monitor for everything though. You have to calibrate it correctly to get the rich colors and deep blacks. thanks for watching.

[@anchit1804]

TechJMedia I have a fully 'spec'ed out MacBook Pro retina 2014 with an NVIDIA GPU. The LG 38UC99 is not giving me anything more than 60Hz cz I can't make use of the free sync. It costs 1500+ while contrast is 800:1. While I can find one of these for 300$ and the contrast is much higher. The point is can I drive is this at real 60Hz with my MacBook? Do let me know what you think what's a better option. Also, what about the lag? LG is 8ms and with overclocking I can maybe get it down to 4ms.. PS: I use my MacBook in boot camp a lot. I'm a product designer and the ultrawide's extra real estate seems to be offset by the size and pixels of this TV.. do advice please. Thanks.

[@h4xor1701]

The modern 4K TVs outperform all monitors in picture quality and immersion thanks to their larger panel size. I forgot my old 28" 4K asus monitor in favour of my actually KS8000 55" 4K samsung tv....but i think 55 inches are a bit too large for less than 4 feet distance of view; have you got any problem with the 40" size instead?

[@the.jose.martinez]

Completely agree with quality. I sometimes get a little motion sick if I'm playing a FPS for long time but the 40" size is perfect. Anything bigger wouldn't be good for me unless I put it farther than 3 feet. Thanks for watching!

[@Andres3310]

Do you know if you can connect external audio, such as a Bluetooth sound bar or wired speakers.?

[@the.jose.martinez]

Yes, you can connect bluetooth audio and external speakers. I connected my sony sound bar with wireless subwoofer and also my M2 PC monitor speakers to it. (wired)

[@JohnAmaro_Official]

hey man are you still happy with that 4k tv for video editing? i was thinking to buy the new samsung 4k i think its very similar to yours

[@the.jose.martinez]

John Amaro I don’t use it as much because of my new Acer 38 inch monitor. But I used this TV for so long because it was a dream to edit on. Absolutely love it and would definitely recommend a tv like this one for editing.

[@JohnAmaro_Official]

The Tech Vault hey thanks i am now watching the video for the acer

[@FreddyFreeds]

sooooo what was your experience while editing, while browsing the web? any drawbacks?

[@the.jose.martinez]

no drawbacks whatsoever. I just color calibrated the tv monitor and it looks even more gorgeous as the blacks are deep and black. browsing on this tv is a joy as the text is super clean and crisp in full 8bit RGB mode. Scrolling is very smooth and you can always scale windows text to your liking too. I am at 125% with the tv 3 feet away from me. Editing is a dream because of the real estate and the color is accurate too. No slow downs, hic ups or skips as this is butter smooth to edit, browse and gaming on.

[@DaFlyGuy525]

I don't know how you don't have a lot of subscribers?!?

[@dub-dub-dub-dub]

Hey I'm only able to get 4k 30hz @ RGB/4:4:4 -- All other settings you showed are the same and I can see from your video you clearly can get 4k 60hz @ 4:4:4/RGB -- I'm using the same HDMI cable from your link in the description and I'm running off of an NVIDIA GTX 760. Any thoughts?

[@the.jose.martinez]

Hi Zachary. The only thing that comes to mind is the graphics card is not able to push hdmi 2.0 for the 4k @60hz. I could be wrong but I am almost positive thats the issue if everything else is configured. I would also try to custimize the hz in the display setting to see if you can overcrank it to 60hz or if it just gives you a black screen.

[@everylittlebreeze]

Please help I’ve just installed the exact same TV I bought it when I thought my other TV was broken but I managed to fix the Sony 43 and wondered what to do with the Samsung 40 I put it on my system and it is for nominal the problem is I’m not getting any sound for me can you help please?

[@dougb70]

what about input lag? Is this still the model you'd chose? Thanks

[@the.jose.martinez]

input lag is great for a tv. If i remember off the top of my head its 23ms input lag. I am literally using this TV right now at my studio and have been since I purchased it.

[@hesmanpro]

Bought the Samsung 4K UN40KU6290FXZA at BestBuy for $299 just before Black Friday because of seeing this video. Thanks TechJMedia. I have been wanting to jump onto the 4k TV and PC experience. I had an older GTX760 and tried using Club3d Dp1.2 to Hdmi 2.0 Active Adapter but GTX760 would only display a black screen. Tried Everything. Also tried the UpTab adapter but did the same thing. I finally gave up after Getting a Blue Screen of Death due to all my fiddling. I just don't think the GTX760 will work with these adapters. Decided to bite the Bullet and buy a new card, the ASUS GTX1070 white Edition w/ Dual Fans & Two HDMI 2.0 inputs so can use VR in the future without adapters. So glad I did. Cost $399.00 on Amazon. Now Getting 3840x2160 w/ 4:4:4 Chroma at 60Hz with Output color depth of 8 bpc, color format at YCbCr444 and desktop color depth at 32-bit. I don't think some of you realize with this TV, but you have to disable Eco Sensor, & Energy Saving Mode, & Motion Lighting or the TV with constantly adjust your TV's Brightness. You can find these in the Settings Menu on the Samsung TV. Click on System - Eco Solution then set all to "off." I could not believe some of you had the Backlight set to 20. it was blinding!!!!! So to sum up, no mouse lag, text crisp and clean and clear, Colors gorgeous, 4K youtube videos breathtaking, Premiere Pro editing a dream. What a bargain for this TV. I would advise you upgrade to a GTX1060 or GTX1070 to get worry free HDMI 2.0 support. Unfortunately, I don't play Games but 'Im sure with my setup it would be a Beautiful sight to behold. Mostly do Video Editing and Photoshop but I may try a game just to see it.

[@the.jose.martinez]

Hesman Productions your welcome! And thank you for your feedback and the tips below on your setup. Extremely insightful! 👍🏽

[@hesmanpro]

TechJMedia i found setting the scaling to 100% in windows 10 to be best to get as much real estate as possible. because of the 4:4:4 text small buy very crisp and clear. i have no problem reading it since i am so close to monitor. love this setup.

[@the.jose.martinez]

awesome! Thank you. I will also mention this in my follow up video.

[@hesmanpro]

Yeh, I tried it on my GTX760 HDMI 1.4 to TV HDMI 2.0. Like you said it worked to get 60hz at 4:4:2 but trust me, when you get a graphics card with HDMI 2.0 and set it to 4:4:4 Chroma at 60Hz with Output color depth of 8 bpc, color format at YCbCr444 you will see a huge, huge difference. Trust me. I'm able to set the scaling in windows 10 at 100% to get the most real estate space and can read every character. I can have 4 windows open at 1080p. Extremely sharp and clear. Also my Backlight is set to 11. FYI, The reviews on BestBuy is at a 4.8 out of 5 with 276 reviews in when i checked yesterday.

[@killakills8721]

Thanks for the video. I have a question do I need to get a different HDMI cable for this TV if I play PS4 on it? To make it look better. or does it not matter

[@the.jose.martinez]

No, you can use the HDMI cable that you use for your other tv's or even the one with the PS4 now. If you get the Pro version of the PS4 then I would get the HDMI 2.0 cable. Hope this helps.

Great video! Thanks. Unfortunately, that model seems to be out of stock everywhere. Any idea what the current model is? Is it the UN40MU6300?

[@the.jose.martinez]

+Navarre thank you! The 6300 is the next model up from that. Crazy how it's been out of stock for a while now.

Do you know how to adjust the menu and text size in Adobe programs. Everything in Photoshop is sooooo tiny!

[@the.jose.martinez]

Niem Nguyen yes,right click and go to display settings on the PC. You should see a scaling size option if using windows 10. Set to on and increase it every 25% until you like the size. I keep mine at 150%.

[@Luuniem87]

If you just bought it for $379 then you should call in for a price match. It's $90 less now. Also, what cable did you use for your computer?

[@the.jose.martinez]

Niem Nguyen A big thanks! I bought them for $329 but I'll catch the price match to make them that much sweeter to own. 👍🏽. Here is a link for the cable. I'll put it in the description tonight too. Thanks for watching! a.co/64LtF3L

[@santoslera5814]

Great video!. What about PC monitor: video editing, web surfing, mail ... ? Thanks!

[@the.jose.martinez]

Thanks! works great as a pc monitor. I didn't go in detail with the video editing portion of it, but I have to say that I am loving editing with premiere pro on this tv. As long as you sit directly in front of the tv, you can get accurate colors. web surfing and emails are great if you scale to 150% on a PC in windows 10.

[@westimagefilms]

I caught a glimpse of tv settings from the video but I wanted to be sure. What were the tv settings you have to do color correcting/grading? (brightness, backlight, contrast, etc.). Thanks, awesome vid!

Marco A. I'll have to look at the setting when I get back to the house. I do know that I have color set to standard. Sharpness set to 40 or 45. Saturation was 2 notches down and I'll have to get back to you on contrast. I turned off high dynamic range and I also set HDMI blacks to low. Hope this helps.

[@FreddyFreeds]

Hey! Could you post your picture settings on the TV? Trying to find the best way to use it. When using as a general computer and editing, I find that having the "HDMI UHD Color" turned on gives me little to no lag and the crispest image. However, it does make watching youtube or netflix difficult as it starts to lag and the image drags. I have not yet found the best settings for just watching video.

[@the.jose.martinez]

Hey! Here are my settings on my tv. I have no issue watching netflix or youtube from my PC or even the smart tv. Hope this helps. Picture mode set to Dynamic mode: Expert settings: backlight: 18 in daylight and 10 at night Brightness: 45 Contrast 90 Sharpness 48 black level: Low (personal preference because i love deep blacks color tone: warm1 color space: native

[@FreddyFreeds]

Hmmm yeah that definitely solves my youtube/netflix problem but I think what's happening is that turning on the UHD Color means switching to a 4:4:4 color mode. Have you ever tried this? I am very curious of your results.I find that with it turned on, text is incredibly crisp, and there is pretty much zero input lag.

[@shirleythomas1246]

guys should i buy a 4k tv for console gaming and 2 25 inch full hd monitors for pc gaming or just buy a 40 inch 4k tv for pc gaming

[@the.jose.martinez]

I would buy this 40 inch tv for both console and gaming. Even if you just utilize it for 4k console gaming and 1080 pc gaming. you will be suprised at the quality it gives for both as long as you know how to adjust the setting between the two.

[@youngster84]

What graphics card are you using in your PC, I bought this TV and I don't have the option of switching the setting to RGB or FUll for the output dynamic settings

[@the.jose.martinez]

i am using the nvidia GTX 1080. which graphics card are you using?

[@youngster84]

I have an nvidia GTX970, I did realize my miscue. I didn't have the computer hdmi placed into the hdmi slot 1 in the tv. I didn't realized that you can toggle between hdmi 1 and TV on the same input. I am still not able to set the video to 2560x1440, I would love to run all my pc games at 4k, but my computer isn't that powerful ... yet.

[@G83084]

Are you on game mode or pc mode, when playing games on your PC. When I am on pc mode most of settings are unavailable.

[@the.jose.martinez]

I am on pc mode as the gama is too high in game mode for my likings. I lose HDR and other setting but I calibrate my monitor for accurate colors in adjustments to make up for it with UHD colors set to on.

[@simongentry]

if you have not... check out the Viewsonic VP2772's - i run capture one, adobe cc etc for my still work and game as well - two years later i still haven't seen anything to beat them in ms and colour.

[@the.jose.martinez]

simon gentry thank you. Will definitely check it out.

[@eljayromero7465]

hey bro i am really considering getting this tv over LG 27UD68-P monitor for my gaming rig. And after checking your review i am almost certain im getting it.. but first can you tell me about the input lag and refresh rate at all? based on my research apparently it's not pretty good for competitive gaming which im gonna do but could you tell me your overall opinion while using the tv on fast paced gaming?

[@the.jose.martinez]

+JonR L if you are a competitive gamer, I would use something with a better input lag and refresh rate. Depending if you have AMD or a GTX, your way better off with an actual gaming monitor over the size and cost of this tv. It's great for gaming in my standards but you will notice flaws. Thanks for watching.

[@eljayromero7465]

Im going to buy the gtx 1080ti which is gonna support games at better resolution. I like to play competitive games like overwatch and league of legends but personally, im not that hardcore and competitive personally. Would you still recommend this tv ? 60hz is a standard refresh rate everywhere i guess. My laptop has a 60hz refresh rate and i was fine gaming on that. I cant find any good gaming monitor that supports 4k and is at least 27" inch around the same price. I could but it's gonna be helllllll expensive 😂 It is either this or LG27UD68-P after my extensive research. What games do you play on this tv? What flaws do you normally come across

[@TheRouteShow]

does windows 10 scaling work with tv as monitor??

[@daisysanchez7850]

Does this tv work with PS4 pro?? Cause I just bought an 4K lg and I'm really upset it disnt give no picture?

[@the.jose.martinez]

I haven't tried it with a PS4 Pro yet. Are you using a HDMI 2.0 cable? I am planning on buying a PRO here this weekend so I can give you a heads up when I do.

[@RamssesPharaoh]

Please do let us know how it looks when you get the PS4. I'm probably getting the tv this weekend & an xbox one s after. PS4 pro will come during christmas. Thank you.

[@ThePlushNinja]

If I did this and I try to play a game in 1080p, would it look terrible?

[@the.jose.martinez]

No, it will still look incredible but you will not be using it to its fullest potential.

[@ThePlushNinja]

Thanks for the reply, another option is to set a custom resolution and play with black bars. Not the most practical but eh..

[@mynuko]

Your video was very helpful, and I made my mind to finally replace my 23' computer screen with a 4k Tv, but damn, I can't find that TV here in Belgium... Do you think the Samsung UE40KU6020 gets the job done too? Thanks, and hope you will continue to update your channel you got a new subscriber! ;)

[@the.jose.martinez]

+mynuko thank you for the comment! The 6020 is an excellent tv. Still has the HDR, 4K, wifi smart apps and many of the important features of the 6090. It can even play the PS4 pro and Xbox one s. I would definitely recommend the 6020 if your looking to upgrade your PC monitor. Coming from a 23", your going to be blown away by the size 😱

[@mynuko]

Thank you for your answer! That's perfect because I also have an Xbox One and want to upgrade to the One S! Just wanted to be sure that the 6020 is good enough for PC and console gaming because I have a really nice deal here in Belgium for that one. Thanks again for your videos man!

[@the.jose.martinez]

Your going to love it EZ AMG. You can run the HDMI signal to your computer if your bose is connected as a pc speaker. Just change the setting on the playback from the computer. You can also run the bose directly from the computer from the optical or pc out audio plug. Hop this helps!

[@scarumanga]

Have your figured out how to output at 120hz in 1080p/4k. I was chatting with samsung because I couldnt get the 120hz to show up and I just asked to confirm what the TV supports and they told me 120hz in 4k.

[@the.jose.martinez]

scarumanga the TV has an actual 60hz refresh rate and a motion rate of 120hz. Technically they are correct but you will not be able to push past 60fps because of the actual 60hz from the tv monitor. Hope this helps. Here is an article that speaks of it too. www.cnet.com/news/ultra-hd-4k-tv-refresh-rates/

[@leequeen7729]

I just purchased the Samsung UN40KU6300 which is a comprable tv to this one. I'm having the issue of it not remembering it's in PC Mode when the computer goes into sleep mode, or I need to turn it off. Do you have the same issue? I have my computer plugged in to the HDMI 1/DVI slot, and i'm getting beautiful 4k @ 60hz, but the fact that I have to go in and keep setting the input source to PC mode is driving me nuts.

[@the.jose.martinez]

mmmm., thats interesting. I don't have that issue and it goes to sleep all the time.

[@leequeen7729]

I wish that was the case for me. I don't want to return it, but I may not have a choice. samsung tech support was no help.

[@portablebase4978]

My main issues with TV's as monitors has been color/text readability. How is this TV for with viewing and managing files in Windows? (I do website management and video editing). Also my work area is pretty dark and I usually lower brightness quite a bit. I heard going below 12 on backlight/brightness levels creates some PWM flicker, do you notice any flicker? and finally, do you plan to keep it and fully replace your LG?

[@the.jose.martinez]

+Portable Base thanks for your comment. As long as your using HDMI 2.0 and using RBG full of 444 limited, the text is completely clear and the color was able to match up to my LG. But you have to sit right in front of the tv. If you look at if from an angle, you lose all color reproduction. I am keeping this for editing and gaming (70% gaming) and keeping my LG monitor at the studio for 100% editing. But the tv is great for both as long as you can deal with the small quirks. I love the TV for video editing.

[@the.jose.martinez]

+Portable Base BTW, I keep my back light at 15 in a dark room and at 20 when playing games. No flickers at 15 and haven't tried below but someone else has and they say it's perfect for editing at 10

[@a_ngles_5565]

TechJMedia this tv or an LG27UD68 IPS monitor for both video editing and playing with a console such PS4 Pro or Xbox One S?

[@pritamchakraborty1209]

what type of HDMI cable should we use to connect the CPU with the TV???

[@the.jose.martinez]

I would buy a HDMI 1.4 or 2.0. They are very affordable on amazon. No need for the high end priced HDMI, just as long as the HDMI is compatible with UHD.

[@modiolo]

hello, I come from OMGadgets channel, he said your analysis of this tv made him try it, so I wanted wanted to ask you what I asked in his video too, that is. What do you think about input lag etc if I would use the TV to edit sound to Image, I mean detailed sound design for video and sometimes games, but not gaming at all. Is the lag reffered to live movements on games etc or will it introduce some fine displacement or latency between the image and the sound. Thanks!

[@the.jose.martinez]

+Guido Ronconi the input lag is just for gaming reference. If your editing video and audio, there is absolutely no lag. I edit professionally on it. I just don't use it for color grading. So no worries on the lag for audio and video editing. Thank you for watching!

[@modiolo]

Thanks for your answer!

[@Jeff5i]

I'm finding that for HDR content (PS4 Pro) the backlight must be at 20 or the content is way to dark. Have you seen something similar? I find a lower backlight settings much better in my lighting conditions, so it is kind of frustrating to have to manually switch when an HDR game is played.

[@the.jose.martinez]

I agree with you 100% I've been experiencing this too lately. Playing games is great with backlight at 20 but i always find myself manually setting it back down to about 10 afterwards. agree with the frustration. Let me know if you come up with a easier solution. I'll do the same.

[@TaccRaccoon]

I've tried to edit on my TV. It's not as comfortable and because it's in 4k all the text is smaller and I cant read anything. Playing PC games on it is pretty good though.

[@the.jose.martinez]

are you running windows 10? there should be a scaling setting which I keep at 200% to keep the text readable. let me know if that helps.

Dude just bought this tv and ya its the best 4K you can get for the price but my HDR is just working on HDMI 1!! I tried HDMI 2 & 3 with my XboxOne S thats has HDR on HDMI 1 and on the others it says HDR not available!! Now I'm trying to turn it on how you did in your video from the menu settings, so is my tv just a lemon or I'm I missing something???

[@harrykong]

John Merced mine only has hdr on hdmi 1 as well

[@johnmerced32]

Kyle Koopman Your in for a treat! Sence buying my XboxOne S I been on the hunt for a 4K tv I ended up buying a Element 43in 4K at Walmart for $199 yes $199 and it was a beautiful picture but no HDR. So I saw this tv on sale at Fry's for $249 2 weeks ago so I took back my Element 4K to Walmart and added another $50 and got my Samsung 40in KU6290. And it just blows the Element tv picture away not even close! And the HDR ya its a 8bit panel HDR but on Gears Of War 4 its beautiful! Just beautiful! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm enjoying mine!
