    Among the variety of TVs, such models occupy a special place. They are “out of categories,” like special magicians from the series by Sergei Lukyanenko. The laws of the market, which we resort to when choosing a TV for ourselves, do not apply to them. Because in a TV like the Samsung UE85S9ATXUA S9 series, the principle “the more expensive the better” applies.

    This is the world's first serial TV with a diagonal of 85 inches and UHD resolution (which is 4 times more than FullHD). With a price of 360,000 hryvnia, this purchase is not something that is “not for everyone,” but in general only for truly rich people. Those who will be able to allocate a separate room for a TV and create a home theater there, the arrangement of which in itself will cost the same (if not even greater) amount. And although sales of such TVs are calculated in unit terms, for Samsung this is not only a profit, but also a very strong image move that can emphasize the status of a world leader in the production of consumer electronics. That is why the Samsung S9 UE85S9ATXUA TV can be found in Samsung branded stores. And it is for such cases (more precisely, including for such cases) that the company begins to develop its own retail in our country. It’s like a permanent exhibition where you can come at any time, look, be impressed, and find out the answer to your question.

    The first thing that catches your eye when looking at this TV is the massive frame, inside of which are hidden speakers with a total power of 120 watts. Inside this frame, the panel can be tilted slightly. All connections are placed on a separate module, where there are all popular video outputs, 4 HDMI ports and 2 USB ports.

    Video review of Samsung S9 UE85S9ATXUA TV

    You can learn about the capabilities of this TV from our video review. All we have to say is that this device is equipped with every conceivable technology. There is Wi-Fi, a built-in camera (useful for video calls via Skype) and an Internet package that includes the proprietary Smart Kino service, as well as support for Ukrainian online video services: Megogo, oll.tv and divan.tv. To work with 3D, the technology of 3D glasses with active shutters is used. It also has its own application store and the ability to recognize voice commands and gestures, which, however, are still far from perfect. And in practice, this perfection is still difficult to achieve for purely technical reasons - external noise and poor lighting are the eternal companions of watching TV.

    Main technical characteristics in comparison with competitors

    In comparison with the main competitors - the LG 84LM960V models, presented in Ukraine last year, and the Sony XBR-84X900. sales of which began at the beginning of this year, the Samsung TV looks more expensive (in the case of the flagship LG TV - twice as expensive), but, as I already said, in this market segment buyers are little sensitive to price - they are interested in the highest possible characteristics, which is what Samsung has. At the level of simple understanding - the ability to immediately, without purchasing optional web cameras, start using video calls at home (or in the office, although I personally doubt the advisability of installing such a TV in the office, but living beautifully, as they say) To say, its popularity in our country is not only due to almost free video calls abroad.

    Bottom line

    As I already said, the Samsung S9 UE85S9ATXUA TV is an “out of category” device to which the laws of the mass market do not apply. It is interesting to us only in the context of studying the most advanced technologies, which we closely monitor. In recent years, thanks to a package of Internet functions and the total transition of the video distribution industry to digital format (which, it is worth noting, will last for many more years), televisions are experiencing a real era of renaissance. If in the last ten years we have actively switched to watching movies on the computer, now we can count on the reverse process - televisions are more suitable for such a function, especially in the context of a family device for group viewing in a relaxed atmosphere. And in this context, the Samsung S9 UE85S9ATXUA TV deserves our editorial recommendation due to the combination of all the technologies used in it. Lagging competitors first of all need to improve the functionality of working with video calls via Skype; all other missed opportunities are not so critical. Well, Samsung can be congratulated on finally seizing the palm in the field of consumer electronics. The title, which in the 90s belonged to the great Sony and all other Japanese companies, now goes to Samsung and Korean companies in general. Initiative, in the language of military strategists, is now on their side.

    What I didn't like

    It eats up batteries and accumulators incredibly, it took two sets of batteries to set it up, after a year of operation it started to glitch, the lens turns on and the LCD display doesn’t show anything until you take the batteries out and put it back in, the glitch doesn’t go away. The quality of the pictures and the convenience for me it suited a non-professional quite well.

    What I liked

    Image quality, easy to use menus and settings before shooting

    What I didn't like

    After a couple of years of operation, it sometimes began to glitch: when turned on, the lens extended, but the screen did not light up, only removing the batteries helped, mediocre color rendition

    What I liked

    Low price, ability to supply batteries instead of dead batteries

    What I didn't like

    Oh, this is new here. It started to glitch after six months of use: when turned on, the screen was black, turned on every time after the tenth current, and began to turn off whenever it wanted.
    And initially the batteries lasted for half an hour, during video shooting, when approaching and moving away, the sound became cloudy and disappeared (I didn’t notice it when I bought it)
    In short, there’s a lot more that I’ve already forgotten (the broken one has been lying around with the lens extended for half a year). So I used it for 1.5 years with no luck.

    What I liked

    It’s a bit difficult to come up with advantages, but I was very pleased with the macro photography, the text is clearly visible, and the photo quality is normal.

    What I didn't like

    The downside for me is that there is no forced flash!!! (although maybe this is because I always take pictures in the car, but it seems like I couldn’t force it to turn on manually)
    He also thinks for a long time after taking photos, especially with a flash; you have to wait two seconds before the next photo. Without flash, wait half a second.
    About energy consumption. Well, I inserted the batteries once, bought on the train, and I couldn’t even take a picture. The batteries hold up well, but you need to take the most powerful ones)

    What I liked

    It’s strange) everyone here writes about high prices) but I bought it in March 2008 for 2.5 or 2.8 thousand rubles in mvideo) it was the cheapest or almost the cheapest) The quality of the pictures is very satisfactory. As well as text and people) but I’m not a pro in cameras, so I don’t understand much)

    What I didn't like

    Eats up energy like hell knows what
    Now I’m buying all the batteries, and it doesn’t work, it says that the battery is low. although I tried all the powerful batteries, and when I contact the service center, they don’t know what’s wrong. Since everything seems to be working, they say.

    What I liked

    Very good image quality, even better than Kodak with 8.2 megapixels

    What I didn't like

    not detected

    What I liked

    large screen, ability to take several pictures in a row, no waiting, decent video quality, excellent photos, lots of settings.

    What I didn't like

    Very large image volume :)))))))

    What I liked

    So far only positive emotions. Video 30 frames without limitation, 4 gig card, 8 megapixel optics is real, in general for 3590 rubles there is no better choice :)

    What I didn't like

    1. You cannot insert large flash drives of 8-16 gigs;
    2. When shooting videos while zooming, the sound is briefly lost;
    3. It’s difficult to find a cover.

    What I liked

    Good photo and video quality

    What I liked

    I liked the build quality - it doesn’t creak or play anywhere. I subjectively like the quality of the pictures - they are quite clear, although some sometimes turned out somewhat blurry. Good display, bright and fine grain. I was pleased with the opportunity to shoot with the handbrake and semi-automatic - as a rule, I use the latter. Good macro photography capabilities. Good color rendition. High speed of transferring files via cable to the computer: Total Commander showed up to 4000 kbytes/s - it seems that this is the speed of a CD.

    What I didn't like

    It eats a lot, the frame is late (delay) by about 0.5 seconds - sometimes frustrating. There is no fixation on the definition. form. (for that kind of money you could have inserted it). Complex settings, a lot of unnecessary things for such a device. It takes a long time to think, especially for girls.

    What I liked

    If you don't rush, then everything is OK. Only in the fourth year did the curtain start to get stuck. Crossed two seas.

    What I didn't like

    1. Of course, the batteries are enough for 15-20 photos (((, but I bought Gp 2800 batteries, the problem immediately disappeared!!! They are enough for 120-140 photos (Quite enough) 2. In the vicinity, it takes photos up to 30 cm due to the flash, and during the day just great. With 8.2 megapixels, 1 photo weighs 2-3 MB, which seems like a lot to me. 3. When you shoot a video, zoom in or out, the sound disappears...

    What I liked

    Excellent picture quality, 5x zoom, excellent video recording, xenon flash. Large screen.

    What I didn't like

    All the inherent disadvantages of soap dishes are here:
    - not the fastest focus
    - noise when increasing photosensitivity
    - often confused with white balance
    - the video is complete g..., but that didn’t interest me
    - in twilight and darkness you don’t have to try to take a normal shot

    What I liked

    This device has no competitors in terms of functionality up to 7000 rubles. Of course, manual focus is really lacking... Very good optics for a point-and-shoot camera. I had experience with the Canon ixus 75 and canon s2, and so, the Samsung is much better than the 75 and is slightly behind the s2, which was bought for 18 thousand rubles... Excellent build quality, really excellent, you pick it up and everything is clear + metal lens. The 2-mode macro deserves special mention - it’s just super, focus even when in contact with the object... :) And if you also use a tripod... In general, take it, if you find it at a normal price, you won’t regret it even once, this is one of best budget cameras, a good step up from a DSLR.

    What I didn't like

    Among the shortcomings... I partially agree with the review that was there before, it eats batteries... Although powerful batteries solved this problem, on a pair of GP 2300 (later I want to find an even more powerful one) it takes about 50 pictures without problems (in different conditions, including in the dark with flash)

    What I liked

    A sea of ​​advantages. A large number of settings, including a completely manual mode (except for focusing) Excellent photo quality, the automatic mode is excellent (even though after the zenith I like to fool around with ISO, shutter speed and aperture, the automatic mode sometimes does everything better than me, although I usually use semi-automatic (shutter speed and aperture are automatic, everything else is optional)) This is not the first camera in the family, before that I often used the 400th Olympus, after using the Samsung I get a funny feeling (have I really taken photographs with this before?)))))))

    What I didn't like

    The matrix is ​​noisy (although this is typical for all point-and-shoot cameras), the sound disappears for a short time when zooming in video mode, the maximum shutter speed is only 15 seconds.
    A couple of times I received broken files instead of photos. When I reached the 10 thousand frames mark, I started creating a separate folder for each frame, but after 50 folders I changed my mind and finally started putting everything in one.
    Eats electricity well.
    The microphone distorts the frequency slightly when shooting video.

    What I liked

    Excellent quality/price ratio. Good semi-automatic mode. Convenient controls. Excellent macro up to almost point-blank shooting. You can shoot at long exposures.

    What I didn't like

    But here it will get worse. First, I’ll start with the fact that the camera loves to turn on the tenth time. Pull out the lens 3 millimeters and turn it off within normal limits.
    Lost sound in video mode when using zoom.
    Focusing. During the day it is more or less acceptable, but at darker times of the day or in artificial lighting you can dance for a very long time, forcing the camera to focus on something and still not achieve anything. This is perhaps the most obvious drawback, overshadowing all the others.

    What I liked

    Good pictures, convenient menu, excellent picture quality especially in macro mode.

    It is the largest 4K TV only among models with an LCD matrix. Well, the second point is somewhat more mundane. Namely: price. The 152-inch plasma has a price tag that is as colossal as its size, so even very wealthy people are able to think about purchasing it. 30 million, as you know, is not lying around on the road.

    Ultra HD (4K) is a new standard, it is characterized by four times more pixels than Full HD

    The prices of ultra-large LCD TVs are much more modest; an 84-inch 4K LCD TV typically costs a million or less. The price of the 84-inch Sony KD-84X9005 TV is exactly one million, and a similar model LG 84LM960V will cost about 600 thousand. In the case of the Samsung UE85S9AT, you still have to pay quite a significant amount for an additional inch of screen. The 85-inch new product costs about 1,260,000 rubles, i.e., actually twice as expensive as its fellow countryman, LG. Does it make sense to pay extra? That's the main question.

    Design

    Samsung is not the first to experiment with the appearance of TVs. In almost every new generation, designers come up with something new and unusual. In the case of a large 85-inch TV, they decided not to limit themselves to anything at all. The result exceeds expectations. At one time, LG presented us with just a very large TV with a classic stand. Sony offered external mounted speakers and a floor stand that looked quite brutal, like on professional monitors. Samsung presented a rather bold solution - a large floor frame, inside of which the TV screen is suspended.

    Samsung UE85S9AT has an original stand concept; the TV screen is mounted in a huge frame that is placed on the floor

    It looks impressive, and upon closer inspection the design does not seem rough or industrial, as sometimes happens with large video equipment made in a minimalist design. In real life, the design looks light and not even graceful. The workmanship is not satisfactory; the finishing of the rear side of the frame combines metal and stylized plastic; the front part is covered with black fabric, since a multi-channel speaker system is located along the perimeter of the frame.

    Design

    The Samsung UE85S9AT TV is designed in a very unusual way. The audio system is fully integrated into the stand. A webcam is also built into its upper part. The screen is flat, but has a solid weight. It takes some effort to tilt the screen.

    Almost all connectors are located on the external module

    The switching is located outside the housing in a separate block, the connecting cable of which is laid inconspicuously inside one of the supports. Apparently, moving the switching outside was done for reasons of convenience; there is enough free space on the TV body itself, but problems would arise with laying a large number of cables.

    On the body of the TV itself there is only a USB connector with power

    Control

    All modern interactive control technologies developed by Samsung are also available in the UE85S9AT model, since it is a full-fledged Smart TV with the richest set of functions available today. The built-in webcam allows you to control the TV using gestures.

    Moreover, since last year, the control algorithms seem to have changed, positioning has become more accurate. Voice control is also presented and some differences from the first versions are also observed. Now, in order to start a dialogue with him, you don’t need to greet him. You need to press the voice control button on the remote control and say the command. For accurate speech recognition, you need to use the microphone integrated into the remote control.

    The Samsung UE85S9AT remote control is equipped with a microphone and a large touch panel like a laptop

    For more traditional control, a classic remote control with buttons and another one with a touch pad are offered (it also has a built-in microphone). Control from a smartphone or tablet is also available, provided that a special Android or iOS application is installed.

    The TV menu has been significantly updated in terms of implementing its Smart capabilities. The Smart-HUB interface has become simpler in structure and more convenient. The design with large icons and flipping pages is created as if for a touch screen device. When controlling the remote control with a touchpad, from the tablet screen or using gestures, the degree of ergonomics has really increased.

    Functionality

    The TV allows you to play any media files over the network and from USB drives. The tested sample successfully showed specially prepared 4K videos from a flash drive. A significant amount of content is now provided by online services and Samsung has a very large selection of relevant applications. Play, Tvigle, Stream, Videomore, IVI and many other online cinemas are complemented by streaming of leading terrestrial and Internet television channels. There is an equally rich selection of Internet radio stations and other entertainment applications, including everyone's favorite Angry Birds. Applications for children, for fitness, as well as applications for communicating on social networks are grouped into special sections of the menu. Do not forget that any Internet resource can be visited using the built-in web browser.

    Image

    Traditionally for Samsung, the UE85S9AT TV demonstrates a rich set of various image processing algorithms, the settings of which can only be understood by an experienced user. If you do not consider yourself one of those, we recommend that you turn everything you have into automatic mode, and in the absence of it, adhere to the principle of the golden mean. Without any processing at all, the picture on the LCD screen will not look good, and we also don’t need excessive load on the video processor, since this makes the picture noticeably less natural, harsh, and can even lead to delays when displaying video. With the settings set in automatic mode, the Samsung UE85S9AT is pleasant and convenient to use. The TV produces a rich, rich image with good contrast, although without some details in subtle shades and color transitions. Anyone can bring the image to perfection by spending more time on settings and using color calibration equipment (this procedure will not harm even the most expensive TV).

    Samsung UE85S9AT reproduces a three-dimensional picture using alternating frames, thanks to which the picture has an unattainable quality compared to alternating lines

    Considering the fact that 4K resolution is nothing more than four times enlarged Full HD, obtaining a high-quality picture, for example, from a Blu-ray disc does not present any particular difficulties. Another thing is the playback of low-bitrate video, whose resolution is not a multiple of Full HD and 4K. Let's start watching with this test.

    Streaming 240p or 480p quality video from YouTube and DivX video files with a resolution of about 300-400 lines do not make a good impression. If you increase the distance, filtering out to a distance equal to two or three diagonals, you will notice only some blurriness, but the picture as a whole turns out to be quite suitable for viewing. Once you switch to content with quality from 720p and higher, the situation changes radically. In order to see artifacts from a distance of two to three meters, you now need to peer into the screen. On Full HD content, the picture is already perceived as high-definition, although in the presence of 4K content it is not difficult to discern the difference in favor of the latter.

    We will assume that the scaling test passed without any complaints. It really did the best it could with low-quality content, and when watching Blu-ray discs, some details were visible that are usually not perceived on a regular Full HD TV.

    The main problem of Ultra HD TVs today is high prices; Samsung UE85S9AT costs more than 1,250,000 rubles

    The second part of the test is 3D viewing. And then Samsung UE85S9AT pulls out its main trump card. Unlike competitors with their polarizing technology, which significantly saves video processor resources, Samsung offers 3D with active shutter glasses, which means that full 4K images will be displayed on the screen. This is a really serious problem. Not so long ago, manufacturers more or less learned to show this kind of 3D without artifacts on regular Full HD TVs, but now it’s 4K. Let's see. At first glance there are no problems. There is a feeling of flickering and increased mechanicalness of the picture, which can also be observed on conventional LCD TVs, but overall the processor copes. Only by looking closely in complex episodes can you see slight crosstalk, again within normal limits. It feels like the 3D picture really turned out clearer than that of models with polarization technology, but when choosing a reasonable viewing distance, this advantage does not seem so significant. Here we can rather simply talk about a completely high-quality 3D display.

    Sound

    The audio system on the TV turned out to be quite complicated. The developers managed to hide a full-fledged home theater with a total power of 120 W in the frame. The audio system configuration turned out to be 3.2. The front stereo pair received support from two built-in subwoofers. And to give the sound additional depth and better transmission of dialogues, a separate center channel is used.

    The high price is partly explained by the excellent sound system consisting of 5 speakers

    The sound of the system turned out to be very wide, free, voluminous and completely unrelated to the location of the speakers. It’s easier to believe that the objects on the screen are alive and make all the sounds themselves than to believe that the frame of the TV sounds so solid and rich.

    The built-in sound processor allows you to change the nature of the sound, adjusting it to the content being played or your own preferences. In addition, there are special surround sound modes that make it even more three-dimensional.

    Bottom line

    Samsung UE85S9AT clearly outperformed its competitors in design and sound quality. The picture quality is at the highest level, but there are no killer differences from competitors. Everything is quite comparable; alternating frames in 3D and an additional inch of screen did not give the Samsung UE85S9AT powerful practical advantages and can act more at the psychological level. It's always nice when your TV is even an inch larger than your neighbor's.
