Samsung offers free 4K movies to owners of its HU9000 4K/UHD TVs

Samsung Curved UHD(U9000) Front

Samsung announced today that, through June 30, it will be offering a complimentary “Ultra-HD Video Pack” to those customers who purchase the South Korean company’s “flagship” series HU9000 curved Ultra-HD TVs. The bundle, which comes pre-loaded on a Samsung hard drive, includes five feature-length films and three documentaries:

  • Night at the Museum
  • X-Men Origins: Wolverine
  • The Counselor
  • GI Joe: Retaliation
  • World War Z
  • The Last Reef
  • Grand Canyon Adventure
  • Cappadocia

The move comes as Samsung looks to bolster availability of 4K/UHD content, so named for its resolution rate that is four times that of 1080p HD. Sources for the eye-popping content are still meager in the marketplace, regardless of the fact that Samsung, LG, Sony, and others have been pushing their top-tier models at an increasing rate as of late. Today’s offering is a hopeful incentive for prospective 4K/UHD buyers and current owners, as Samsung waits for more methods for users to obtain content, such as Netflix’s plan to expand 4K content streaming online.

The HU9000 65-inch curved 4K/UHD TV will run buyers a cool $4,500. The TV comes loaded with a number of features, including UHD Upscaling, Precision Black Local Dimming, a bevy of Samsung’s proprietary image enhancement features, and HDMI 2.0, which allows for the industry’s highest resolution 4K streams.

The offer covers both the 55-inch and 65-inch models in the series. Owners may have to wait up to 12 weeks for their bundle, and can follow this link to register today. 

 Update: This article was ammended on 4/28/2014 to include the 55-inch model in the series.

Why you should buy the Toshiba 75-inch C350 4K TV
Toshiba may not feature in our look at the best TV brands but it's been around for a long while and you can trust it. With the Toshiba 75-inch C350 4K TV, you get the obvious stuff like a 75-inch screen and 4K resolution but you also get more than you'd expect in this price range. The TV also has Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10 support so that the image quality is even better.

Samsung just slashed the price of this massive 85-inch 4K TV
The Samsung 70-inch Class 7 Series 4K TV in a living room.

Even though Prime Day is over, that doesn't mean there aren't many great Samsung TV deals you can still take advantage of. For example, this massive 85-inch Samsung CU7000 4K TV, which usually goes for $1,300, but can be yours for just $1,200 today. Even though that's not a substantial discount, an 85-inch TV for a little over $1,000 is an impressive price coming from Samsung, which doesn't make many budget-oriented TVs.

Why you should buy the 85-inch Samsung CU7000 4K TV
While you might not find the most advanced panel tech on the CU7000, like OLED, it still uses a great panel that has a lot of the modern features you'd expect, such as HDR10+, which we were somewhat surprised to see at this price point on such a big screen. Of course, the whole thing plays in 4k, which might cause some screen door effect given the lower pixel density, but since it's 85 inches, you're not likely to be sitting very close to the TV anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, big TVs like this are great for playing split screen games, and while the TV's peak refresh rate is 60Hz, that's still perfectly fine for these types of games regardless of the console or gaming PC you're using.
