Samsung UN65JU6700 65 INCH 4K UHD LED TV
I purchased this TV last week and here are my impressions.
I had a 60’ LG Plasma prior to this unit. I was looking to stay at the 65” size without spending more than $2500. I looked at this unit as well as the non-curved version (UN65JU6500). For $200 more you get the curved screen and a fancy remote.
Curve: I do like the curve. I have a dedicated room “Man Cave” that will allow four people to sit and watch comfortably. We sit about 5 feet from the display. I do feel it gives a bit more of an immersive experience when sitting relatively close and centered. If you are sitting further away within a larger room, it most likely will not give that feeling. I do notice less glare than I did with a flat screen. The curve does say “I am new and special” to any who see it. No one has complained about visual issues from the curvature. My family likes it.
Picture: Wow! The picture is exceptional. Good source material will produce an outstanding image. I searched the Netflix app for 4k and found about six titles to try out. Breaking Bad, House of Cards, and some nature landscapes demo videos. They were very good. I have a six Mbps internet download speed and did not have any buffering during playback. I have watched HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, OTA, and TIVO recordings. All looked to be up-scaled with good results. The colors are sharp and bright. The various screen presets allow you to customize according to what you are watching. The resolution and sharpness can make some movies look like soap operas. Adjusting the screen settings can help with that. I have not watched any sports programming yet so I cannot speak on how it handles fast motion material. I did not notice any problems when watching action movies.
I did note some picture irregularities when I had a black screen. Flash lighting and brightness irregularities along the bottom of the screen and near the corners. I was ready to call and arrange a return until I stumbled upon a thread dealing with this issue. I followed a questionable? guide to fixing these issues found here: […]
This resolved most if not all of my backlight issues. I now have uniform screen brightness. I simply rubbed the screen with a microfiber cloth in the areas with excessive light. Just a little more pressure than you would use cleaning the screen. I am pretty sure that the pressure on the screen when laying it down to install the stand caused the issues, maybe. The stand install was done according to the instructions provided with the TV. This would be the first thing I would check when setting the TV up. It is very noticeable with a dark scene or letterboxed movie.
Remote: The remote for this TV is nice. I generally use a Harmony One universal remote control. The Harmony is one of the best investments I have ever made in my Home Theater. The Samsung remote has no number buttons and is a small device. It is about the size of a small flashlight. More round than anything. It has voice control which I have yet to do more than try a couple of commands. It worked. The interesting feature for me was the mouse pointer built in. When you place your finger on it a curser appears on screen. It appears over the media being played on any input. You then can navigate the menus and settings using the pointer. It would be a pain in the butt to enter text this way. I suppose that is what the voice control is for. I will continue to use my Harmony even though I enjoyed playing with the Samsung remote.
USB: I played some avi and mp4 files via usb thumb drive with no problem at all. The media player is easy to navigate and use. In the past I have had to play files through a DVD player that did not show the progress as you paused or manipulated the playback. The built-in player does a nice job of navigating to the files and allows you to navigate as you would expect. When you plug a drive into a USB port, a pop up will appear asking if you would like to browse the device. You can also plug in a keyboard to enter text with.
Apps: There are plenty of applications on the Smart Hub. I use Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, Youtube, Crackle, UFC and a couple of others. All worked without problems. I watched 4K (HDX, UHD) videos from Netflix, Amazon and Youtube. I was able to connect to my computers in the house and stream audio and video files pretty easily. Good interface for that.
Sound: I use a Yamaha receiver for my surround sound. I am using the optical out from the TV to send sound to the receiver. It has worked on all apps that I have used. Dolby Digital, DTS, and plain old stereo are passed without problem. This output has to be set up in the settings of the TV and was easily done.
Conclusion: I am an average consumer and not an expert. I have had large TVs of various types over the years. This TV does not have the deep blacks that my…

|but I hope this information is useful to those who are looking at this TV for …,
I’m using this set solely as a desktop monitor. It’s connected to an Asus STRIX GTX 970, and I can confirm it does so at 4k@60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling over HDMI. For this to work, you must connect to the HDMI1 port, and must edit the device type in the options menu for the HDMI1 port to ‘PC’. It’s not obvious, but to access the options menu, you must select ‘down’ on the directional keypad when the HDMI source is selected. For anyone interested, I’m using a 6ft length of the Mediabridge HDMI 2.0 cable I purchased at Amazon – http://amzn.com/B0019EHU8G
I was worried about input lag, but I can’t detect even the slightest delay. I don’t have any actual numbers, but that’s because I didn’t feel the need to find out. For those who can relate, within minutes of COD gameplay with my trusty Ballista, I had no doubts this is a fast screen. It even feels faster than my Dell 30007WFP that it replaces. Since I only have a single GTX 970, I had to play certain games at 1080P for playable frame rates. This set upscales beautifully, and doesn’t incur any penalty in the way of input lag.
As for the size, I was torn between the 40″ and the 48″, but I’m glad I chose the 48″. I sit 2 feet away from my monitor, and I still find the need to raise the DPI to 125% in windows on this set. On my Dell 3007WFP, I was comfortable with the DPI at 100%. I’m certain text would’ve been way too small on the 40″ at 100% DPI at the native resolution.
Finally, the screen is glossy. But it’s definitely less glossy than the screen on my Razer Blade. Still, you can see a reflection if there’s a strong light source behind you. I have two windows behind me, and with the blinds shut in the middle of the day, I don’t notice them.
