We’ve just received our first pricing information for Samsung’s new 4K/UHDTVs and high-end HDTVs. These are Samsung’s standout models, with the 8000 Series HDTVs and 9000 UHDTVs featuring curved screens and the most extensive feature set to be found throughout the company’s 2014 TV lineup.
Samsung’s 2014 offerings include new flat UHDTV screen sizes (50-, 60- and 75-inch), along with new screen sizes for curved HD (48-inch) and UHD (78-inch) models.
Our list contains the suggested retail price (where available) as well as Samsung’s UPP (Unilateral Pricing Policy) price for the new sets. The UPP is the minimum price that all authorized Samsung dealers can sell the company’s TVs for.
Typically, when a new model first comes out, the UPP is the lowest price you’ll be able to find for it, though you can expect Samsung to run factory-authorized sales via instant rebates to stimulate sales volume for specific models later in the year.
All series are expected to ship in April. According to our sources, a few set prices could change by the time they arrive at dealers.
The list starts after the break.

Hey Sam K,
It is rumored that the “G” was skipped to say fongoule to LG
Never mind, I meant the Evolution kit that can be updated not the One Connect box.
If I’m reading this right, the 8550 gets a free One Connect box? If so, how does that work? Do you get one of the future boxes for free?
They reserved “G” for Google. They have some plan for making Google model later on.
@Sam K : other Korean manufacturer LG uses ‘G’ as a symbol mark on their premium products. because of rivalry.. as I guess
UN65H8550 yeah baby..when it hits i’m getting it.
Vizio and Seiki are welcome to the low end of the market. If you saw one and compared it to the Samsung, you wouldnt touch it with a 10 ft pole. Also, no in home service for Vizio..it breaks, you box it up in the original box (you DID remember to save the box, right?) and MAIL it back, wait for repair, and then they mail it back to you…you also get to pay for shipping BOTH WAYS.
There is an old saying “You get what you pay for”. It applies here.
If the H7150 Series were also Ultra HD then I think those prices would have made a lot more sense!
Since they aren’t I believe US and other Korean manufactures will eat them alive!
Seki is releasing a pro model series with HDMI 2.0 and smart features built in with a 55″ going for $1,299 and Vizio will release there P series starting at $1000!
Vizio had the best looking Ultra HDTVs at CES and the fact that there releasing a 70″ ultra HD TV cheaper then most 55″ models from other manufactures means Samsung can expect low margins by this year!
Seiki is also releasing a 85″ 4k TV for the same amount as Samsung’s 78″ Curved Ultra HD TV!
Those prices are to high for edge lit 4k tv. I’ll just wait for oled 4k tv.
I guess there’s still no info about the 2014 Samsung Plasma. I’m also wondering why last year’s model lines had “F” in the model line such as “F8000”, “F8500”, “F9000” etc but this year’s models have the letter “H” in the model line instead of “G”. The 2011 model lines had “D”, the 2012 model lines had “E”, the 2013 models had “F” but the 2014 models have “H”. Does “G” translate into something bad in Korean?
