LOL.

Already installed it since Day 1 of release.

It's a legit release.

Game Mode HDR Profile switching is working.

HDR Performance has been improved on my set (KS7000), brighter highlights seems can hit higher nits compared to previously.

Overall it's a good update.

HDR10Plus (dynamic open source HDR) probably still missing, but the problem with the format is even Amazon Prime can't really tell which video supports HDR10+, so this technology seems to be a mixed bag for now until they sort out that mess.

I heard HLG is still broken with some box over in the west (HLG is Hybrid something something), it is supposed to be HDR standard for broadcaast TV.

Not sure if my eyes are playing tricks haha. Looks brighter after updating

Maybe because of the auto-switch, where last time u need to manually adjust back-light to 20

EDIT
Seems like they used default values for the HDR Game Mode. No wonder picture looks extremely sharp and colour tone is brighter

Samsung so generous this time around? Maybe learning from their 2017 mistake.

Or now because MYR stronger and GST 0% liao, they can price it lower...

55" Q7F 4K Smart QLED TV

65" NU8000 Smart 4K Premium UHD TV

I am in dilemma now. Both TVs are almost same price. I am not sure which one to get. Can someone who has experience share with me? 55 QLED is good because of quality. 65 is bigger screen. My question is, the P-UHD pic quality really big different compare with QLED? Or slightly different? Shall I take P-UHD?

Depending on the content you watch and how 'good' is your eye.

For the average Joe, bigger size seems to be better choice. It's more easy to notice the difference in size compare to PQ

Thanks for the information, it seem like here in the US, smart TV are dirt cheap where everyone change TV on a yearly basis as if like buying cloths especially during black friday sales.

my initial plan was to get this model Samsung 55" Class NU7100 Smart 4K UHD TV but after researching and reading review, it seem like the Q6FN is a better choice although is double the price of NU7100 and only extra $250 over the NU8000 (anyway, i paid $1086 after tax during black friday sale which is kinda good deal though for Q6)

so i did a comparison between Q6 and Q7, don't really see much a differences in term of spec (i'm kinda noob when comes to TV but do share your experience if can)

Rtings will give u all the answer you need about TV quality

In MY, a lot of us still consider Samsung 2016 models the best - KS7000 onwards (with Quantum Dot Tech). Bought my 55" KS7000 at RM5k

2017 - Samsung become greedy and create a new premium line-ups of QLED series. Jack up the price. Then introduce a series of upper-mid range TVs (MU8000-9000) which is without the Quantum Dot Technology and sell it at >RM5k

its my fault to make decision in hurry..
2019 model downgraded?

Year to year, you won't see big tech/feature upgrades really in terms of TV.

especially when you are looking at entry-level, mid-range TVs. if you are Samsung, obviously you put your latest tech on the highest-range TV and charge a hefty premium right?

for your budget, if size isn't an issue, why not try out LG OLED?

That is an inaccurate interpretation on the matter.

How do you define " better " ? Can you really say Oranges are obviously better than Apples ?
Sure the OLED TV is doing a few things better than the QLED but there are also things they are not good at .

Primarily the Burn Ins . No matter how rare the chance is , it is still much easier to get an uneven aging on the OLEDs than QLEDs.

There is also the long list of problems plaguing the near black performance where I can type 100 pages about it.
Last but not least , OLEDs also suffered from brightness and Color Volume .
Do you even know how much you are missing out on the HDR on wRGB  OLED TV? Get one of those newer Samsung Galaxy Flagships (which is full RGB OLED) , run a couple of HDR clips on both TVs and tell me you don't see the difference .
I don't like Samsung Marketing Campaign depicting QLEDs as the new found miracle of 21st century .
But you have to be really ignorant to turn a blind eye on all the advantages of QLEDs by saying OLEDs are obviously better.  And this is coming from someone who has 4 freaking OLED TVs in possession.

There's not need to be so defensive lol. Just as you own 4 freaking OLED TV, I also own a Samsung KS7000

Like it or not, Samsung become greedy in 2017 and start to price its QLED TV at a higher price level. With that pricing, I rather add a bit more and get an OLED.
