The Samsung UE65JS9500T TV has become one of the most anticipated models of 2015. Still: there is an exclusive technology SUHD, which gives a better image than even the recently appeared Ultra HD. There is plenty of praise for this TV. We offer you an honest review of the shortcomings of the UE65JS9500T.
MINUSES ABOUT WHICH WRITE IN REVIEWS AND TESTS
The truth about the "miracle scaling"
SUHD Remastering Engine technology (signal scaling to Ultra HD resolution) does not justify the promises of marketers. In the review portal Stereo & Video It is directly stated that there is little point in scaling if the quality of the picture is initially poor. Terrestrial television - neither digital DVB-T2, nor even more usual, - it is impossible to convert to ultra-high resolution in acceptable quality. Cable analog - too. Moreover, even when processing the Full HD signal, problems arise: the SUHD Remastering Engine algorithm either draws the outlines of objects too much, and on the contrary, blurs where it is not necessary. You can watch a digital cable or satellite signal more or less satisfactorily at a distance not less than three meters from the screen. The UHD technology, and even more so for the first time implemented by Samsung in a particular HDR television set (High Dynamic Range - “increased brightness range”, in the image too light and dark areas are dull and highlighted) - while the future property.

For a TV with such a price, the possibilities of using Internet applications are more than modest. The Tizen OS operating system, to which Samsung’s “older” series has moved, is not yet very popular with developers. According to the author of the review on Hi-Tech.Mail.Ru, it does not win anything, and often it is inferior to the same webOS from LG, Firefox from Panasotic and Android TV on Sony. There are very few Russian-language applications (especially when compared to the Play Market), many large services have not yet had time to update applications under Tizen. Serious games like Minion Rush or Asphalt 8 are played only when using internal memory, and its only 4GB. Here you will install 2-3 applications - and that's it, curb your appetites. Thank goodness YouTube works well.
High power consumption
It is clear that such a large TV with such a serious set of functions simply cannot be ultra-economical. However, in the age of energy-saving technologies, only pay about one and a half thousand rubles a year for one Samsung UE65JS9500T, as follows from the review ProductTest siteperhaps brute force. The reason - in power consumption at high brightness. A test conducted by an online publication showed that in Full HD mode at a brightness of 200 cd / sqm for 5 hours, the TV would be “eaten” per year over 300 kWh. But who is watching such a miracle of engineering for 5 hours? With weekends and holidays, you can safely increase the consumption by another 30 percent.
Great dependence on the remote
Yeah, in the case of the UE65JS9500T, the remote control is better not to lose and even more so not to break. Without it, the functionality of the TV is significantly limited. Normal for Samsung joystick is on the back of the right and to use it, it is necessary, almost having buried his face in the screen, blindly search for the necessary items in the menu. Of course, there is still the management of gestures and voice, but ... Test on the portal ProductTest showed that in order to command Samsung UE65JS9500T with your hands, you need good lighting and a certain position exactly opposite the built-in camera. But to control your voice you need to learn how to shout.
MINUSES WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN REVIEWS
Poor viewing angles
This complaint of the owners is rather nominal, since for a TV with a curved screen viewing at a strong angle is simply physically impossible. However, some users note that when you look at the image from the edge of the screen, its noticeable highlight is noticeable.
Color distortion in Sport mode
As follows from the reviews, too high contrast in this mode and the artificial addition of brightness to individual colors turns the image into a somewhat grotesque. The authors of the review on the portal agree with the users. Stereo & Videowhere football in the Sport mode was compared with the movements of the 8-bit heroes of the Mario game.
IS IT SO BAD?
Of course, the Samsung UE65JS9500T is not only a disadvantage. With a quality signal (for example, blue-ray discs or content shot on a camera that supports 4K resolution), the image will be fantastic. A huge number of functions and settings makes watching TV comfortable and enjoyable. UE65JS9500T - one of the first TV, which implemented the HDR technology. The operating system is fast enough and almost without hitches. The design is great. Advantages of the TV can be listed for a long time. The only pity is that we cannot fully appreciate it fully: all the same, UE65JS9500T is the model of the future, through the efforts of marketers, is slightly ahead of its time and thanks to this it gives the manufacturer a good profit due to the unrealized expectations of customers.
