Display
Panel
Panel	LED LCD	Mini-LED
Panel detail
Panel detail	Curved edge-lit LCD with 4200R curvature and active-shutter 3D. Samsung's 1000 Clear Motion Rate is a processing label, not the native panel refresh rate; the UK specification does not publish native Hz.	Full-array Mini LED local dimming with quantum-dot colour
Resolution
Resolution	1920 × 1080 (Full HD)	3840 × 2160 (4K) (better)
Refresh rate
Refresh rate	–	144 Hz
HDR formats
HDR formats	None	Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, HLG
HDR extras
HDR extras	–	Dolby Vision IQ; IMAX Enhanced
Peak brightness
Peak brightness	–	Exact 65C835K June 2022 datasheet claims HDR brightness of 1,500 nits; current K-family page advertises HDR Premium 1000. These are maker claims rather than measurements and are not treated as a uniform series brightness.
Picture processing
Picture processing	The UK 55-inch specification lists Micro Dimming Ultimate, Auto Depth Enhancer and 1000 Clear Motion Rate but says Precision Black local dimming is absent. HDTVTest found that Cinema Black darkens letterbox bars, though some settings shifted the whole picture's brightness.	Fourth-generation full-array Mini LED with quantum-dot colour; AiPQ 2.0 processing; UHD Deep Learning AI upscaling; 3D LUT and multipoint calibration controls
Picture modes
Picture modes	Movie mode and ten-point white balance controls allowed very accurate greyscale on the HDTVTest and AVForums 55-inch test sets. Samsung's UK table confirms 2D-to-3D conversion and two included active glasses.	–
Motion handling
Motion handling	HDTVTest measured 1080 lines of motion resolution with Motion Plus engaged versus 300 without it on its 55-inch unit; these are reviewer measurements, not panel Hz. It also saw occasional motion hiccups after scene cuts and mild 3D film judder.	Native 144 Hz display; exact 65C835K datasheet specifies 4K 144 Hz 4:4:4 at 10 bits and 4K 120 Hz 4:4:4 at 12 bits
Viewing angle
Viewing angle	HDTVTest found blacks and colours washed out beyond about 40 degrees off-axis on its 55-inch review unit. The curve did not materially improve its viewing angle.	–

HDMI detail
HDMI detail	Four HDMI inputs with HDMI 1.4 3D and ARC according to Samsung's UK 55-inch table. The same table lists one SCART, component and composite inputs, a headphone output and optical audio. No 4K or HDMI 2.1 input is stated.	Four inputs labelled HDMI 2.1 by TCL; full-bandwidth input count is not separately published in the exact maker datasheet. eARC is on HDMI 4.
Input lag
Input lag	34 ms in Game Mode on the 55-inch HDTVTest unit, measured with a Leo Bodnar tester; AVForums reports the same figure on its sample. This is a reviewer measurement.	–

Speaker detail
Speaker detail	Samsung's UK tables give 40 W total for each size, with two 10 W drivers and a 20 W woofer. AVForums rated sound good for a thin TV, while HDTVTest concentrated on picture performance.	Onkyo 2.1 system with bass speaker. The exact 65C835K June 2022 datasheet lists 2 × 10 W plus 20 W, while the current maker table lists 2 × 15 W plus 30 W; aggregate power is omitted because the maker sources conflict.
Audio features
Audio features	Dolby MS11, DTS Premium Sound 5.1, TV SoundConnect, optical output and HDMI ARC on Samsung's 55-inch UK table.	Dolby Atmos virtualisation and upmix; Dolby AC4 and TrueHD

TV tuners
TV tuners	Samsung's UK 55-inch table lists analogue, DVB-T/C/S2 and twin tuners, plus USB recording and time shift. It does not explicitly list DVB-T2 in that table, so Freeview HD support is not inferred from a different regional variant.	DVB-T2/C/S2 and analogue tuner; CI+ 1.4 with ECP
