Our Verdict
Good TV for a mixed usage. It isn't bad at anything. It will work in any kind of rooms since it is versatile. It is especially good for video games and sports.
- Low input lag
- Great blacks and contrast ratio
- Reflects more lights than average
- Average gray uniformity
- Judder is present in movies
Average for watching movies in the dark. It has a good contrast ratio, but it lacks local dimming to make the blacks even darker. It also has a small judder when watching movies.
Above average for TV shows in a bright room. The screen can get brighter than average, but it reflects a bit more lights than most TVs. It upscales lower resolution content well.
Good for watching sports. However, the screen is not very uniform, which results in a bit of dirty screen effect on playing fields.
Great for video games. Very low input lag of lag, and not too much motion blur.
Although the KU6300 support HDR10 input, it does not really benefit from it, since it does not support a wide color gamut and it cannot really get highlight very bright.
Good for HDR gaming. Picture quality is good. Supports HDR10 but can't really benefit from it due to lack of local dimming and no support for wide color gamut. Input lag is low even in HDR mode. Motion blur is good.
Works well to use as a PC monitor. It supports a wide range of resolution, even 4k @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4, and the input lag is very good.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We tested the 55" (UN55KU6300) version FA01. For the most part, we expect our review to be valid for the other sizes of this model.
The KU6270 and KU6290 are variants of the KU6300. We expect them to have the same picture quality as the KU6300 reviewed. The only major differences are that the KU6270 and KU6290 lack Bluetooth connectivity and include a remote that looks identical to the KU6300 remote but lacks the features that use Bluetooth, such as pairing and Universal Remote Control.
Update 2017/05/12: The KU6270 does not have component/composite video inputs, but the KU6290 does.
If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their Samsung KU6300 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and we will update the review.

The Samsung KU6300 has fierce competition in the budget range. It is a good choice if you want an affordable versatile TV.
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
