It's disappointing to see reduced support for analogue sources, but a look across Panasonic and Samsung's latest ranges shows that 2016 is indeed the year where manufacturers are serious about consigning legacy hook-ups to the dustbin. Legacy connections are distinctly lacking though, with no RGB SCART or dedicated PC-centric ports, meaning converters are required to hook up older equipment that doesn't use more modern connections. There are also 2x USB inputs too, from which 4K media can be played back. In terms of connections, the KU6400 includes 3x HDMI inputs, 1x component input, and 1x composite (via breakout connectors), along with optical and headphone outputs. This is a Europe-specific model, the closest US equivalent being the Samsung KU7000 series.
The KU6400 series is available in 40, 43, 49, 55 and 65-inch models, with the same overall feature set. Low input lag, deep blacks and wide colour gamut are the key selling points, though peak brightness is average for a HDR compatible display and there the lack of backlight dimming is an issue. Here's a short run down on the specifications of the KU6400. This adds depth to the image but means the display is best placed facing away from direct light sources in order to avoid reflections or light diffusion across the surface. Meanwhile the screen sports a semi-glossy coating that is more reflective than panels using a matt finish. Creaky black plastics make up the rear of the panel, though the display feels sturdy enough for a budget model. On first impressions the design for the KU6400 is reminiscent to Samsung's higher-end lines from 2012, with the TV featuring a small 1cm bezel surrounding a 40-inch screen, which is then placed on an updated version of the company's chicken foot-style stand.

This makes the KU6400 a poor choice for HDR viewing, though in other areas there's much to like about Samsung's entry level 4K screen for 2016, and it should make for a solid affordable gaming display for those who want to upgrade to UHD resolution, in addition to functioning as a large premium PC monitor too. While the KU6400 supports playback of high dynamic range content, it's also clear that it lacks the necessary features to display it as intended. Well, in this case the key compromise comes with how HDR is handled. It's sounds like a bargain, but what's the catch?

Right now, the 40-inch KU6400 is available for just £479 - only £80 more than Samsung's 1080p K550. Combined with a VA panel for deep blacks, low input lag and Samsung's generally excellent calibration controls, we're looking at potentially outstanding performance with a budget price tag. It packs 4K pixel density into a 40-inch form factor that also features support for HDR.

Samsung's KU6400 series comes in many different sizes, but here, we're reviewing the 40-inch version - a display we chose as a potential 4K screen for PS4 Pro, Xbox One S or PC users in a smaller office or bedroom gaming environment.
