I got mine from Amazon, it was just a little under $800, there was $49 in tax depending on where you live too but I had a gift card that covered that.

IPS is considered the best type of panel for photo editing which I do a lot of, that's why I wanted an IPS, I've seen the KS8000 in person as well, every time I went into Best Buy pretty much, it was a nice TV. Don't worry no buyer's remorse, I didn't even want to spend $790 let alone $1150...

Whoa, I just noticed a weird feature (well maybe not weird for TV use) on this TV where it dims the screen when the light goes lower in the room and brightens it when it gets brighter, only reason I finally noticed it was because I had a lamp over my keyboard (never buy a solar powered keyboard...

So I have noticed the 4K HDR is lovely through Netflix but I tried watching an episode of Sneaky Pete on Amazon Prime 4K HDR as well and it would randomly brighten and darken the entire picture almost like a light dimmer, I haven't tried updating the app or anything since unboxing the TV but...

I really like the Sony but I know the Samsung is a little pricier and probably a better TV for some uses, I wanted an IPS panel so I had no choice but to go with the Sony (only the 49" has one though)... probably would have loved any of them, a curve might have been nice if I went KS8500 too.

Yeah I would imagine an 1070 SLI setup would be pretty damn awesome, I played DOOM for about an hour or so and it was quite enjoyable, I thought for sure I was going to need to play at 2560x1440 or something though, other games that might be the case.

That sucks, if it ended up being a software update that would be pretty awesome but I can live without it, I'm not a huge gamer really. That being said... I just installed DOOM and I have been playing it @ 4K with all of the settings maxed out and it's pretty damn awesome, I didn't think games...

I also just tried watching Marco Polo from my browser while using the PC input, what a difference... looked so much better in the app, for some reason while using my web browser it doesn't even recognize the display as 4K, wonder if there's a workaround for that. (not that I care, I use the app...

I'm going to try that test and see how my set fairs, I can't do it until night time though because I don't have window coverings down here in the basement and don't feel like finding something to cover the window lol.

I never claimed to get HDR with PC use, I was watching Marco Polo on Netflix (with the TVs Netflix app), I assume it was in HDR anyway. Why is what you say true though, I never even considered that to be honest nor do I really care, what about PC use disallows this?

That's how I tried to justify it to my fiance, she gave me a hard time about it over and over but I think she's starting realize it's usability... I have also said the same thing, one of my friends made a remark about sitting so close to it and I told them that it was no different than a triple...

It's hard to judge these things with a photo, not everyone uses a camera the same way but my photo was taken with a very nice Sony A7Rii and Zeiss lens and I processed the RAW file as closely to real life as I think it looks based on being here, I've seen other people post photos like this that...

Here you go, blank screen (screen saver preview) in a very dark room, all you can really see is the power light and power strip under my desk, you can tell it's on though. Let me know if you have a request for a different type of shot, I don't mind when I get around to it.

I'll try and take a photo in a little while, I'll just turn on my screensaver for the photo (blank screen) if that will suffice, I don't think there's much backlight bleed maybe a little but I was expecting to possibly have worse problems based on some other feedback I've seen from a person or...

Just for the record I haven't calibrated it or done anything to it yet either, straight out of the box and I'm happy with it so that's quite a statement, can't imagine how much I'll like it once calibrated.
