Our Verdict

While lacking the rich, highly accurate color of Samsung's QLED TVs, the MU9000 serial holds its ain with anything not using quantum dots or OLED. These are excellent TVs for the toll.

At the high end of the Boob tube market, you have Samsung's QLED, OLEDs from LG and Sony—and not a lot else to choose from. The mid-range, however, where Samsung'southward MU9000 series Premium UHD Goggle box resides, is rife with competent sets. The UN55MU9000 reviewed hither ($2,000 MSRP available for $i,497.99 at Amazon) raises its head above the crowd by virtue of its super-smooth movement, excellent user interface, and stylish remote. Color on the other hand, is strictly run of the mill.

Blueprint

The 55-inch form UN55MU9000 follows the modern thin-screen design: narrow at the top and thicker at the bottom (depth-wise), where the electronics are stored. The bezel is thin enough that information technology "disappears" during use. Between that and the fashionable stand up, the TV looks quite nice sitting on a table (or mounted on the wall).

The Premium UHD series features a scaled-down version of the One Connect breakout box constitute on Samsung'southward SUHD and QLED TVs. If y'all're non familiar, a breakout box is a dissever box that's connected by a unmarried cable to the TV and "breaks out" the inputs and/or outputs. The purpose is to supervene upon a bunch of cable connections with just i, making the whole bargain easier to use and hide.

one connect mini 1 — The smaller version of the 1 Connect breakout box that ships with the MU9000 has no ethernet port—that'southward on the TV.

Oddly, though this version of the One Connect contains merely HDMI, USB, and audio ports: leaving the ethernet connection on the TV, along with a single USB port. We understand the USB port, but running an ethernet cable to the Tv somewhat defeats the purpose of a breakout box, though with 802.11ac Wi-Fi onboard, well-nigh users will connect to the network wirelessly.

Interface and remote

We tin can't say plenty skilful things nearly the latest Samsung user interface, which is featured on their better TVs and disc players. Information technology'southward unproblematic, nicely laid out, and like shooting fish in a barrel to navigate. Our only wish is that at that place was a way to apace skip to the starting time or stop of the row of apps, as this oft involves an abrasive amount of scrolling.

The MU9000's remote is a study in effective minimalism.

The One Remote remote control is also fantabulous, with only the right amount of buttons for command and skipping to functions on screen. It's not every bit prissy as the remote plant on the Samsung Q9F nosotros reviewed, with its multiple modes, simply it's darn close. It might be even better with couple of boosted dedicated transport controls to brand decision-making video and audio media easier.

Performance

If you've seen Samsung's QLED or older SUHD TVs with quantum dots, you'll probably be a bit disappointed in the MU9000 series' colour. If you oasis't, forget nosotros mentioned information technology, because nothing else with an LED backlight compares either. As usual with LED, reds slide slightly to the magenta, greens to lime, and the entire spectrum skews slightly absurd.

mu9000 004 l perspective gray nl — Smooth movement with but the tiniest of artifacts is i of the MU9000'southward series' many strengths.

On the other hand, the MU9000 handles movement superbly. Nosotros noticed little to no judder, and in that location was inappreciably whatever shimmer on detailed panning shots at the default settings. Samsung labels the MU9000 as having Motility Rate 240, which ways the hardware refresh rate is 120Hz, and information technology does make a divergence. Y'all tin nowadays smooth video at 60 cycles per second, it just doesn't happen oft.

In that location are enough of picture and color tweaks for those who similar to tweak, merely Samsung has things set pretty well to begin with. Nosotros didn't manage to do anything only screw it upwards. Nosotros should also mention that dissimilar many TVs, you lot can adjust the settings while HDR material is playing.

HDR-10 content (Dolby Vision isn't supported) was handled well for a 515-nit (our measurement) Television set, with modestly brighter highlights and some improvement in detail in both darker and lighter areas. The default overall palette was tolerably low-cal, not darkened to the indicate of lark (as it is with some TVs in an attempt to make light sabers pop). But overall, y'all'll never fault this TV for a QLED or OLED playing HDR-10, or to exist honest, Sony'due south 700-nit X930E. Samsung itself states that to brand HDR really pop, yous need 1,000 nits.

Screen uniformity was top notch, though there was noticeable leakage effectually the edges of the Television set when a night groundwork was used. Again, that's an consequence common to about all LCD TVs.The MU9000 aced nearly all our color, motion, bleed, and pattern tests with the exception of fine vertical lines where information technology misplaced whatsoever number of them in a floating jumble. That'south a rarity, and information technology surprised united states of america coming from Samsung. On the bright side, we were unable to notice whatever non-artificial material where the problem reared its caput.

The playback apps on the MU9000 piece of work well, agreement all the mutual photo, video, and music formats. That includes APE, FLAC, and Apple tree lossless audio, likewise equally nearly every season of h.264/265 video. The TV sounds pretty good on its own. In that location's non a lot of bass, but you probably won't feel the need to immediately run back to the store for a soundbar.

Including standard dynamic range textile, the MU9000's picture is definitely a cut above anything we've seen in the last few years, barring quantum dot and OLED models, and the motion handling is outstanding. Simply every bit we said, information technology'southward a cool temperature epitome.

Determination

The MU9000 looks skillful, and presents a very smooth, even image with nice detail. And you simply can't beat the interface and remote, although those are pocket-sized concerns when it comes to buying a TV. Color is a major business and Sony seems to be ever so slightly ahead in that department at this cost indicate. You might compare the Vizio P-series besides, but the UN55MU9000 volition win some fans.
