HDR extrasDolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ AdaptiveSamsung's 2015 SUHD HDR playback on the reviewed 55-inch set. HDTVTest found bright highlights but the edge-lit screen had less dark-scene control than Samsung's full-array JS9500; no peak-brightness figure is transferred to other sizes.
Colour rangeHi-QLED ColourNano Crystal quantum-dot colour and 10-bit panel on the reviewed 55-inch model (HDTVTest). Samsung's launch announcement positions JS9000 within the SUHD range, but does not establish an identical panel across all three sizes.
Picture processingAI 4K Upscaler, MEMC, AI Light Sensor; Calman Ready (not 43″)Samsung's global SUHD announcement describes Nano Crystal colour and HDR. HDTVTest identifies Smart LED edge-light control and measured 91% DCI-P3 coverage in Movie mode on its 55-inch review unit; this is a reviewer measurement, not a maker value for the line.
Picture modesFilmmaker Mode; Game Mode Plus; eye-care modeMovie mode was the most accurate preset on HDTVTest's 55-inch test set. The UK quick guide confirms active 3D but says glasses must be bought separately.
Motion handlingAI Smooth Motion (MEMC); panel response time 8 ms (Hisense)HDTVTest measured 1080 or more lines of motion resolution with Auto Motion Plus on its 55-inch unit and found LED Clear Motion strobing sharp but possibly flickery. It reported mild judder in 24-frame 3D.
Viewing angle178°Both full 55-inch reviews found the picture faded away from the centre; the curve did not correct this limitation.
