Samsung’s premium 88″ SUHD 4k TV is now available from Samsung.com for $22,999, $2k less than the original MSRP of $24,999. The curved-screen Ultra HD TV is the flagship model in the JS9500 series that also includes a 65″ model priced substantially lower at $5,999, and a 78″ model that’s not yet available.
The three models in Samsung’s JS9500 series feature Motion Rate 240 frame refresh, wide contrast with Precision Black Pro, Smart TV powered by an Octa-Core processor, MultiZone full array back lighting, and nano-crystal color technology.
Samsung hasn’t really provided a specific answer for what the “S” stands for in “SUHD,” but reps have explained it as a label for their premium 4k models. You might say it’s just a branding thing. The “UHD” part, however, is the industry acronym for “Ultra High Definition.”
Samsung released almost a dozen SUHD models in North America last month, starting at $3,999 US. Most of the sets are already shipping, but we’re still waiting to hear on availability of the 65″ flat screen (JS850) and 78″ (JS9500) curved screen model.
