I don't think it supports Dolby Vision. I'm not exactly clear on this though.
Did an email from them arrive today? I get their emails, but the last one was Sunday.
Edit: oh ok. The Sunday one has it and says still valid today. I hope my store still has some.

MosquitoSmasher Cute doggie! That tv looked stunning when I saw it in the wild recently so congrats and enjoy! :)
Thank you! :)
And yes, Lara is amazing. Absolutely lovely dog.
I've set it all up just now. Absolutely not an easy job on your own but hey, I managed to do that with the Sony 930e as well, and since this TV is lighter I was gonna do it here as well!

The X supports Dolby Vision, but in my case (LG Oled E6), the Dolby Vision of the TV is too old (older than the version of the X), so I can't watch DV content.
I'm officially inside the OLED space.
Bought these two babies recently, they ended up costing $5500 together which I've got a steal deal, their combined retail price is $9000. Yes electronics are fucking expensive here in India.

In the Xbox One X settings I can't enable Variable refresh rate. Isn't that odd? QF has this?
Could be completely wrong but doesn't that only work at 1080p on the Samsung with the Xbox one? Might have confused it with freesync
Hmmm that's possible I guess. I'll look into this later then. Right now I'd like to try out some HDR games but I can't seem to figure out how to enable HDR for the game mode, lol.
Nevermind, Google truly is your friend, haha.
This settings guide should help!

Look towards the bottom for gaming stuff!
Nice one! Thanks man. That remote is one slick thing, awesome.
I ended up going with Greentoe for $2,099 just because it feels like a safer purchase to me, but let me know how it goes! With the coupon code it should only be $1,949? That's crazy!
It supports it, but apparently ONLY for streaming and for the time being ONLY for Netflix specifically, although I'm having trouble finding more recent articles for any kind of update.
Isn't there an additional licence required for paying over HDMI and extra security features need to be implemented to stop/reduce the risk of piracy
Anyone with a Q9 here using the game mode?
This is extremely weird but I notice heavy artifacts around characters (RDR2, ACO, Tomb Raider) when I rotate the camera. This is the same kind of effect that any motion interpolation would introduce. However, auto motion plus has been disabled.
EDIT
I reaaaaally should have looked at Karspankey's link because it explains it all.
Turns out there are settings in the external device manager for game mode, including auto motion plus and yes surely enough this was enabled. Thank God, I was afraid there was something seriously wrong because hell, game mode is exactly meant to not mess around with that.

:) Please give Lara an extra big cuddle from me!
Oh, well done. I just got back from my local tv emporium and saw your set in all its glory and immediately thought of you. Happy gaming/viewing!
I almost got myself talked into the 55" LG E8 while I was there. The poor salesman was very keen to sell it to me but at £2K for the sale with commission/brownie points from his boss, I would imagine, that is understandable. I told him that I needed to sleep on it so he's put a hold on it for me for a couple of days. He said the Panasonic OLEDs were doing very well and they are running out of stock. Not surprising, the attract video they have playing on it is stunning. I would be tempted if not for the lack of Dolby Vision and the uninspiring user interface. I had a quick play on the LG C8 which gave me happy memories of gaming on my Wii. That U.I. is easily worth the extra £100 over the Panasonic, for me. Ironically the LG C8 was the least impressive looking set going from what they had running on it. The Panasonic OLED, the Sony OLEDs and also the Samsung Q9FN had really stunning attract videos running which really did those sets justice. The LG C8 had a drab set of rotating still pictures with a fake picture frame that really diminished the appeal of the set. I can easily see how the average shopper is swayed by how the set looks in the shop together with the sales patter of the sales staff. Fortunately I am a nerd and research these things obsessively for months before jumping in. I am teetering on the edge of doing so but will give myself a couple of days to mull it over. £2K is not an inconsiderable sum and my 42" 1080i plasma is perfectly adequate so it would be a complete luxury purchase. Dat OLED screen doe...
That is interesting, cause the console says that my TV is at fault for not having the same version of DV.
So you can get the 65' B8 via the Ebay app for 1799 after discount code is applied. The seller has a 5 star rating of more then 1900 feed left. I am super skeptical though of Ebay and honestly never use it as I am not a fan. Very tempting though.
That C8 was just showing the still images that come up when you have no input connected or turned on lol, they look pretty but nothing like a showroom video.
They probably just forgot to turn on whatever demo they have for it.
That is weird. Xbox only supports Netflix streaming Dolby Vision anyway, which your TV can already do on its own.
Sounds like a good deal.

The Xbox is using it's own unique profile, my guess is this is the framework going forward for game DV support.
Well, finally decided to pick up a Q8FN and love it so far.
Bright as hell, blacks almost as deep as OLED, great upscaling, no judder or stutter, no risk of image retention, and freesync support.

Wait, what is this cash back from Samsung? How do you get that?
I'm extremely impressed with the picture quality of the Q9FN. I immediately noticed a clarity difference in Shadow of the Tomb Raider compared to the Sony 930e. It just looks better.
I do notice one thing though which I find odd....in many games such as Forza Horizon 4, Hitman, Shadow of War, BFV, Far Cry 5,etc , I notice how certain things have this weird flicker around them. I see it on foliage in FH4, aliasing is more visible than it already was, in Hitman I see flickering around fences and I see it on foliage and such in BFV as well.
It's like when you turn up reality creation on a Sony TV, that effect. However the Q9FN doesn't have this option. All I can do is lower Sharpness from 10 to 0,which makes it a bit too soft for my liking. There's not much you can do about this eh?

No idea about outside of Holland but these are the offers for Holland. :)
You just register your TV and fill in serial number and all that.
That's an insane deal. The Q9FN is still $3000 here in the US. No special Samsung deals.
Can anyone shed light on my question re the Samsung game motion features?
Absolute insanity indeed. The thing is, if you just go to their site you will see 3000 euros as well. That is until you call them up, ask for a special deal or in this case black Friday and at the moment it's 2099 euros. But even without black Friday last week they had it up for 2300 euros.
Just bought a house so obviously you have to buy a new TV right? I am demoting my trusty 46 in Panny plasma I bought in 2008 to master bedroom duties and replacing it with a 75 inch X900F I bought through GreenToe for $2499 using Paypal credit. Delivery is scheduled for Friday!
I have a low and wide TV stand, wall mount, and extra large luminoodle for bias lighting being delivered today. Will eventually do the wall mount with the hidden wires. I'm slightly excited about it!

Sorry nobody answered you. I'm in the same boat. (I haven't been considering the Vizio though, maybe I should)
Ratings compares models. Here's the nu8000 vs the Vizio. They said Visio wins.
https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/samsung-nu8000-vs-vizio-p-series-2018/586/625
Here's the Samsung vs the tcl. Seems like a tie. https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/samsung-nu8000-vs-tcl-r617/586/613
And Vizio against the TCL. Vizio wins. https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/tcl-r617-vs-vizio-p-series-2018/613/625
So based on that, probably the Vizio.
Edit: I think I may have talked myself into the Visio. Thanks!

Nice!
You got one of the best TV money can buy (only competition is other OLEDs lol) next to a really good LCD in the same picture.
This is almost like me, but I gave the X900F to my sister and my C8 is 55".
Just wanted to say I appreciate the review. Seeing everyone in here buying OLEDs, it's nice to see someone can be blown away by a measly little $1000ish tv. And the Samsung is one of the ones I am considering.
Amazon offering 10% back on the 65" C8 if you order with an amazon card.
Anybody think I can get Best Buy to price adjust my tv? If not, I might return it and go through amazon

Did you order online? Can't hurt to give them a call.
Is that 10% points back or 10% extra odd the cost? I have an amazon card and everything I buy I get points (free money essentially) back on all the stuff I buy but it's either usually 3% or 5% I think. So curious if that's what this is but boosted to 10% or an extra 10% of the purchase item?
Ordered in the Best Buy store
The 10% holiday Amazon discount wont stack with the 24 month no-interest if I opened a new card. Bummer
i personally wouldn't check out of the box. buy it. set it up. use it as you would normally. don't start checking for things unless stuff sticks out to you in normal viewing. once you go down that rabbit hole its hard to unsee even minor issues
Looking to pick up a new TV for my office / gaming room. But I have a problem, I don't have that much space to put up a new TV and I sit about 4-5 feet away. Right now I have a 40 inch setup and I'm looking at probably going either 49 in or at the largest 55 inches. So fari looked at the TCL 55 INCH series 5, but it doesn't have local dinning. Other options are the Samsung NU8000 and Q6FN, both 49 inchers.
How decent is the TCL with edge lighting? This is many for console and PC gaming, with some movie/TV watching.

Dang :( I got $600 in points/money but the 65" B8 after tax would still cost me 2K. After seeing some of these awesome newegg deals I missed on I don't wanna spend that. And those were cheaper WITHOUT the amazon money. 10% back on 2000 would be nice though
Which budget ($400-600) 4k HDR gaming tv (for PS4 Pro) should I be looking out for on Black Friday?? Can anyone help me out?
The TCL 55R617 is not on sale anywhere and it has bad panel lottery?
Anyone have any good deals on a TV that fits to my needs?
US based. Also have a UNiDAYS, Costco, and Amazon Prime membership, and access to the student discounts from Samsung store FYI.

Hm. The only issue is that it's a Christmas present. So if I wait that long, it might be hard to get a replacement if there is a flaw.
where are you buying it from? usually the holidays have extended return periods
I mentioned this to the salesman but he just grabbed the remote and put on a terrestrial tv channel. Now it looked fine for a 720p source but nothing like the gorgeous 4K attract videos on the other OLEDs. Given this and its placement in the store I don't think it is their priority to sell this set right now, certainly not before the other sets they are giving the best placement to.
So you think I can just call them up and ask for a better deal? I mean, it's worth a shot, but I can't even imagine what department I'd talk to.
Best Buy. And I know they do, my concern is the stock they will have on hand should I need a replacement.
