He said the Q1 sets are effectively out of the question, but with the press releases he's dug up, he doesn't think the Q3+ TVs are out of the question.
After months searching for the perfect TV within my (low) budget I've finally given up and bought a 55" LG C7 for 1200€. Can't wait to receive it!
I wonder if Samsung in Sweden is confused about their own models.
The 75" Q8DN is cheaper than the 65" Q8FN. The 65" Q8DN is almost half the price of the 65" Q8FN
And to remind you the Q8FN in Europe is the cheap non-fald version, while the Q8DN is the same as the US Q8FN.

Are there any impressions of the Samsung 8K yet? Genuinely curious what 4K upscaled to 8K looks like. Esp since we won't have mainstream native 8K for years, which makes for a pretty limited use case on these sets.
Not on AV Forums, but there was a review event where the TV guru's had hands on time with the 82" model, as Sammy were not sending those out, but no smaller model reviews at present, I don't think.
Need some help/advice.
I bought a lg 55" tv, model SK8100PLAAEN.
When I play RDR2 on my pro, and I have HDR enabled, HDR turns on and off while playing. The HDR logo shows up when I start the game, play for 5-10 min. and then the screen goes black for 2 seconds and comes back, and then The HDR logo appears again.
What could the cause of that be?
And another thing.. When I have a complete black screen and move the lg remote pointer around the screen, the area around the arrow is white/greyish.. It follows the pointer around.. Is this normal for a 55" uhd screen? Never noticed it as much on my smaller 42" lg tv's.
Any help would be appreciated.

Oh that makes sense. I hadn't really contemplated the logistics of folks reviewing a set that only comes in an 82"
HDR requires more bandwidth, because it requires more bandwidth it requires good cables. Make sure you are using a good quality HDMI cable and it's not faulty.
You can try enabling the YCC420 setting, which will cut back the bandwith requirement as a temporary measure.
Thanks will try to get a better hdmi cable tomorrow.
I think my other issue might be backligt settings related.
You could try changing the resolution on the console to 1080p, that will also rule out (or confirm) it's bandwidth related
For those who are playing RDR2 in SDR what its your gamma settings? i was happy with bt1886 but the game goes more to the dark side of things, with too much crush and unnatural contrast.
the rockstar logo its pretty dark with those settings.
with 2.2 the logo its clear as a day but as always saturation and color gets a major hit

RedlineRonin a few caveats as I still haven't run Audyssey, there's no furniture, etc, but I watched about 20 min of fury road in a darkened room in Atmos and...holy...shit...........

Yeah the sound design is probablyy favorite in any movie ever
Wait...you haven't seen Fury Road?
Thanks a lot for the info, the difference is around 500USD at the moment so quite a bit considering I'll want to get the HDMI2.1 sets in a couple of years.
Hmmmm..
Red Dead is an OLED torture test lol. I haven't really been bothered with the tinting my on OLED up until playing red dead. A little dissapointed with the tv, and considering calling LG to see if I can get the set replaced. I can't stop looking at the tinted portion of the panel.
Whelp my Panasonic plasma started acting iffy tonight, bad IR with dark scenes, guess I need to research this thread and paying attention to the BF deals coming up.
Not looking to break the bank, but 4k and HDR in a sub 60" package would be nice. HDMI 2.1 + VRR support would just be icing on the cake

HDMI 2.1 wont come till late next year at the earliest and its still not even known if its coming to 4k sets at all.
Coming from Plasma I would suggest you take a look at the OLEDs, but if you want VRR the Samsung LCDs have a limited version of it (48-60 fps in 4k), mostly because it needs HDMI 2.1 to really work better than that.
Yeah the style of the show is great. Maybe Netflix is finally back to having good shows again. Sabrina, Castlevania, Daredevil, Bodyguard, Haunting of Hill House, bunch of quality seasons all coming out in the last couple weeks. About time too i was trying to remember why I subscribed to Netflix for awhile.
OLED suffering from vertical banding? I thought that was just something Edge-Lit LEDs had?
My vertical banding is miles better than it was a year later, used to see it all of the time! Now hardly ever, tried a 5% pattern and the real obnoxious strip I had has all but gone.
I want to buy a new 4k HDR monitor but all monitors are HDR 8bit frc, do I will notice the difference between this and sdr?
This is the monitor I'm going to buy .

Ps: I can't buy a TV for now.

I recently bought a version of this monitor (same panel different features), and its a great 4k monitor, but this isn't really an HDR monitor.
It caps out at around 380 nits, which is nowhere near enough to properly display those HDR highlights, specially on an IPS panel which naturally has a much lower contrast ratio than a VA panel.
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27uk650
The world of HDR monitors is shit if you want HDR. You will probably have to end up paying well over $2000 and even then you're probably getting IPS panels with the same poor contrast.
How's that process go with LG? I'm considering trying the same with my panel, just a different issue, tinting.
And it looks like DF hired our good friend EvilBoris! He even gets a shout out from Vincent in that video!

Oh *phwew*...yeah the really visceral sound effects translate super well to home theatre. Scenes like when Furiosa first runs into the motorcycle gang and they are at a higher level then her, I kept looking up because it legit felt like they were above and behind me.
I have a question which kind of belongs here..
I'm interested in buying this soundbar from Massdrop
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/lg-sk9...ontent=1540888005785.872802144289708218330555
However I would want to mount it under my LG B7 using one of those mounts from Amazon that attach it to the TV. My question is if that would affect the sound output since these have speakers on top (I guess for the Atmos?). I would mount it like 2 inches directly beneath the TV, so I think the sound would bounce off of that instead of going up. Is that right?

Good shit, EvilBoris!.
Hopefully Rockstar knows it's public info and is seeking a solution in earnest
(Who am I kidding: the majority of people dont/wont care and the game will sell extremely well).
You just expect better from such a detail oriented studio and the game isn't taking advantage of my TV's capabilities (which sucks even more since I fixed some issues with it)
Here's hoping for a fix anyway

It's weird how hard this first crack at HDR seems to be for some of the world's biggest devs. Iirc, the Witcher 3 HDR implementation was really poor too, and similarly, just extrapolated out the SDR color spectrum instead of receiving a true HDR grading.
Someone needs to steal an employee or two away from Ubisoft. They continue to nail it on practically every title since late last year.

What would be the best HDR implementation from Ubisoft?
Didn´t you see any improvements between sdr and that HDR? I´ve read that although it´s not as good as hdr10, it´s good enough
I've been playing Odyssey on PC and I personally think it's their best so far. Not just because of the HDR implementation itself, but because it really complements the art and environment design they're going for. There are so many moments, similar to Horizon Zero Dawn, where you'll just be walking around and look off into the distance and be like "whoa."
It's not the most original, by virtue of the fact that they're trying to recreate something realistic, versus something like Destiny 2 where they're building more fantastical environments, but for what it is, it looks very impressive imho.
Far Cry 5 was also good from a purely technical standpoint, though I didn't care for the game much. I'm sure Division 2 will be excellent also.
They offer some of the better HDR calibration tools as well.

It's bonkers how well Guerrilla did for their first effort. I truly think HZD2 will be the best looking game ever made.
Even though HDR sucks on it, I'm still sticking with HDR and 47, colours are much nicer looking, compared to looking a bit cartoon like.
Yea, I've tried adjusting to SDR and I keep wanted to go back to HDR.
Maybe messing with SDR game mode TV settings might make it better, but really don't wanna change settings just for 1 game.
Trying to decide between the Samsung Q8F and the LG B8/C8 (not sure really what the difference is there other than sound bar at the bottom).
They're both at their lowest ever price on Amazon, and I'm not sure Black Friday will provide any other savings.
LG OLED would be nice, but I'm scared to death of image retention, even if it's temporary for a few minutes. I play a lot of games that have constant HUDs on the screen and watch a lot of sports/ESPN with the ESPN ticker on the bottom constantly.
Given how people raved over the KS8000 a year or two ago, I figure the Q8F should be just as good if not better.
