I'm on the fence to get this samsung or try that LeEco (the company who bought Vizio) and their 43" 4K with 10 bit panel HDR10 for $349.

Bought this today, coming from a 2560x1080 LG ultrawide its pretty amazing playing bf4 in 4k. Just finished a 3hr gaming session and it did seem to give me some eyestrain though. Ill give it a week and decide if im going to keep it but so far its a pretty impressive panel for $300 .
it says free two-day shipping, and then when i try to check out it changes to standard. lame...It's back at Best Buy for $299!!!!! Open box are $267!
Samsung - 40" Class (40" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV - Dark titan

Keep the backlight at 10 or higher to keep PWM off. Also may just be taking you a bit to adjust to such a big screen.

It'll work fine. The 1080 can game at 4K with most stuff at decent settings, the 980TI would likely be better at 1440, though.Nice, thanks for the linkage and heads up. Just picked up two of them and we'll see how things go. One will be driven by a GTX1080 and the other a 980Ti, so hopefully there will be enough horsepower to run things nicely.
Link please.
EDIT Never mind, according to Rtings it doesn't do 4:4:4.. :/

EDIT again, ugh, seems like there's conflicting info on the 4:4:4

That is conflicting info mhm...
I was going off by the 55" review which states it has 4:4:4
http://4k.com/tv/leeco-super-4-x55-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-tv-review/
I guess I might just hold out a bit longer.
I have seen plenty of people saying it does 4:4:4, but only on HDMI 1 and when you turn on the proper settings.
I just got one, and haven't had time to futz with the tutorials or settings yet for all of it.
100% does 4:4:4 even on 1st-gen HDMI 2.0 GPUs from Nvidia (Maxwell) and even does HDR (advertised on Samsung's spec pages).Link please.

1. Make sure you use HDMI 1 input
2. Set HDMI 1 input to PC. On Remote: Home > Up > HDMI 1 > Up > Edit > PC
3. enable "UHD Color" (in the TV settings menu: Picture > Expert Settings > HDMI UHD Color > HDMI1 > On)
4. Make sure video card is set to 60Hz. (most GPUs default to 30Hz for some reason)
5. Set 4:4:4 color output in your GPU settings (NVIDIA Control Panel, etc)
6. Scale text to a comfortable level (I like it at native - 100% - which means no scaling)
I have the KU6300 which is the same thing, I dont run it in 4:4:4 mode just because i can notice the difference that 10ms of additional input lag adds in that mode. Theres a big difference from me going from 30ish down to 19ms
RGB 8BPC Full Dynamic RangeWhat color output do you use?
4K @ 60Hz, 8 Bit, 4:4:4Oh!!! Please let us know or message us after you played with it. The ball and chain won't let me get anything more expenisive =(
4K @ 60Hz, 8 Bit, 4:4:4
Works flawlessly.
(Granted I can't game at that on my 950, but it displays it beautifully!)
Link please.
100% does 4:4:4 even on 1st-gen HDMI 2.0 GPUs from Nvidia (Maxwell) and even does HDR (advertised on Samsung's spec pages).
On Nvidia, in the NVCP under display properties, it will show either RGB or YcBcR 4:4:4 if all parts of the chain are supported at 4K/60, or YcBcR 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 if something in the chain isn't up to spec.
Great monitor at this price, I move the Switch to it as well and it works great.
Got one myself for 325 OTD..I also live in Illinois. but Kentucky is a bit far. Im close to St Louis.

I sit about 3-4 feet away.Thanks. I missed the "Click to expand".
Still wondering how far people are sitting from their 40" TV/monitors.
I sit about 3-4 feet away.
Yep, mine is wall mounted as well.Thank you. I was planning on about the same distance myself with a wall mount.

Excuse the wire mess, been redoing some stuff back there...

That's regarding a LeEco mentioned earlier in the thread not the Samsung of the OP. The KU6290/KU6300/KU7000 accept HDR signals but don't display them properly (though the KU7000 does have the expanded gamut) and is no better than SDR.
Apparently the LeEco Super4 accepts 4:4:4 but displays it as 4:2:0. Deal breaker.

Sound great! Maybe I'm a noob but why isn't it running 10 bit? Unless that is a total different matter?
A 950 has absolutely 0 chance of gaming anything even remotely tough at 4K.
It just doesn't have the horsepower to do it.
Older games may work fine on it though. I wouldn't hold your breath on WoW though, it's surprisingly GPU heavy.
