Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I've had plenty of monitors and my KS8000 feels just as fast input wise. Unless you are a pro gamer, doubt the input lag on the KS6290/6300 will bother you.
HDR will be enabled in PC Mode with some of the newest games like Shadow Warrior 2, Hitman and Resident Evil but won't work properly if you are running in 8-bit mode. On my 49KS8000, I change the input to Game Mode, Enable HDMI UHD Color, Smart LED to High and Backlight to 20, Last of all...
I stand corrected. Doesn't seem to affect sharpness or resolution according to RTNGS.COM. They also claim it's a 10-bit panel.
Noticed that pretty much all Samsung VA panels has the same layout as the 6290/6300 series. That includes the KS8000. Don't think it's a problem at all or else it would...
Over a grand for that feature? You can usually find the Samsung 40" 6290/6300 for around $300 every couple of months. It's currently on sale at Costco but you can possibly have Amazon, Best Buy or Newegg price match.
You can buy a 4K 40" Samsung 6290/6300 series for around $300. No point in waiting for a monitor from Dell, Asus or NEC. Monitor and HDTV both display images so not much of a difference if you catch my drift.
