Samsung UN65KS900D Supreme MR 240 and other features

Sep 30, 2016 8:36AM PDT

KS900D is featuring Supreme MR 240 and Supreme UHD dimming. Is this a marketing gimmick? Is it worth the extra$$$ to have these features? Samsung has a model KS800D that has UHD and MR 240 but they aren't Supreme. Price for the KS900D is $2,479.99 and the KS800D is $1,799.99.

If you ask Samsung, they say yes, of course.

So it's up to you to find an independent opinion:
1. Read the reviews
2. Ask the salesperson in the shop to convince you to spend 700 USD more, by explaining what these features do and demonstrating the effect with a good UHD source. For 700 USD extra revenue for the shop (and probably a bonus for him) he can be expected to do some extra work.

I've decided to not go with this model because the bonus features aren't worth the extra $700. I'm buying the KS 800D for my birthday and early Christmas present next month.
