Why 24fps is not enough for HDR movies

[Rasmus Larsen]

Hello Rasmus,

Many thanks for the review.

In your review has not commented on the improvement of new technology micro dimming ultimate. Could you comment and compare the benefits of micro dimming ultimate?

Thanks in advance and please answer.

You're welcome.

Simply because there is no significant improvement. Don't fall for the marketing talk. As said before, dimming on an edge LED based LCD-TV is impossible
Samsung also include some picture circuit improvements in these systems but we do not go through all these. Instead we examine the actual color reproduction, response time etc.

Hope my answer was sufficient.

My question is, Can this be another defective TV I received? Its up to date with its firmware. At this point, I really wish I bought another UND8000 from last year and not this piece of junk. I even paid double for this TV than what I paid for the D8000. I can't imagine getting 4 defective TV's in a row. I checked everything over and over and tried all different ways, but either the picture looks washed out, or way too dark.

Any suggestions?

That definitely sounds strange. This shouldn't happen. We know that Samsung's quality control have been spotty at times but what you are referring to sounds more like a defective panel or controller unit. I know it is hard to believe after the fourth TV and I honestly don't know what to suggest.

You mentioned that your other TVs had other problems? Did you experience the washed out feeling on those, too?

Thanks for getting back. My very first one had the washed out and the really bad clouding. I posted a video on Youtube when I first bought my first one. It was so horrible that I swapped it out right away for a different one. When I received my second one, there was a Firmware update which I did and it looked ok but still not as good as my D8000 from last year. After a day of having this one, I noticed 2 dead pixels that were really irritating me so I returned this one and bought another one.

....

This is a crazy story, and something Samsung needs to care about. I will try to get feedback from more users to see if this is a general thing.

Hello,

I exchanged a Sony Bravia KDL40HX853 for the Samsung 40ES8000 has I had found backlight issues on the Sony. However, I find the Samsung to be even worse. After reading this review, I have the impression that I have a very bad item.

Here is the list of the issues I am struggling with:

- Clouding
- Backlight bleed around the edges
- Overdrive trailing (halos around moving object). When watching football, the players and the ball have this issue.
- Voice control works only at times
- Motion control is kind of funny for 10 sec but you quickly understand that it is better to turn it OFF

I have contacted Samsung sending them a few pictures I took and they told me that the issues I was experiencing aren't normal for this model. However, I decided to go for a Panasonic 42GT50 instead. I will have both at the same time and will decide over the weekend if I keep the panasonic or ask a replacement for the Samsung.

Cheers,

Bruno
