Price wise, surge protector and voltage regulator (some have small surge protection) more or less the same.

So which one is better?

i will go for surge protector cos the aim is to suppress the surge which is killing on the tv components.

Am using a surge protector since day 1..

Replaced the board for RM450.. Keeping the old one as spare

which surge protector would you recommend?

hi all just got a TU8500 unit, while testing it saw some weird juddering/artifacts especially during fast moving scenes, like an explosion for example. i know it has to do with the motion settings under expert picture menu, but what would you recommend as a middle ground custom setting (judder / blue reduction setting) outside of turning off the setting entirely? thanks in advance.

best to have

whole house protection .
SPD type 2
install in DB box
at least 40KA . should last 5 to 10 years.
spec Up .. must be below 2kV clamp voltage

if you dont see these specs dont buy ... waste your money as you dont get the protection you want .

hager one looks good .
if you buy china ones buy only the famous/branded ones. for quality and specs.


for power socket protection
spd type 3
is a power strip .

check the specs ... look for highest surge protection in Joules value .
must have LED to show Protected , and Earth . is ON .

if dont have LED light .... Dont buy .
you dont know status of the unit. the protection will go dead after some big surge hits.
when the LED goes off ..time to buy a replacement .

recommended APC and belkins .

are you watching netflix or on a type box android.

just play around with the settings. motion

i have 2 samsung tv... never see judder before .
watching on netflix, hypptv white box.

its for netflix and youtube mostly... see below pic, the menu names changed a bit i think, its now called picture clarity settings... any recommendations on what to tweak

i set pic clarity to AUTO hence the individual setting i cannot change .

the judder is auto set to 8 . which i cannot change .

i have no judder issues ,

EPP got 4x% discount ....can PM me if interested

Samsung QN85A uses an IPS panel?? WTH was Samsung thinking??

Yes , I was told it is meant to be an outdoor / living room TV , therefore the ambient lights will probably help mask the less than ideal contrast .
Also explain how it is insanely bright , achieving 1200+ cd/m2 real time luminance .

Speaking of which I heard the QN95/90A will peak at 3000 nits pre-cab and 1800 real time , probably the brightest commercial LCD TV ever exist beside the Samsung Terrace .

Looks like QN90A is decent update over Q90T/Q90R. QN85A macam not worth it.
