Mrpseudonym Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 This is why i prefer using external sources for play back, Vero 4K and Apple TV etc. Don't have to worry about those issues then.Yes agreed. I find Apple TV to be the best for Netflix for example, great quality and the bonus of using your phone as a remote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio_Slave Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I’ve always had Samsung TV’s over the years and will continue enjoying their technology for many more. If you want an 8K TV then there really aren't any alternatives currently, it's the Q900 or nothing. But if you're looking for a 4K TV that can at least get into a similar HDR ballpark as the Q900, check out the Samsung Q9FN. The Q9FN has an identical set of smart features, local dimming, and excellent HDR performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been waiting 3 weeks now for Samsung to deliver my Q90R65 - it’s out of stock. Edited June 17, 2019 by maxdax Edit typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhobba Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Hi All Got it now. Indeed make sure you see it with your own content. Looking at HD and UHD streamed content everyone, including me says the same thing - its just so clear with greater depth. My suspicion is its not the 8K in and of itself - its the up-sampling that is simply cutting edge. The lack of any actual obvious pixels regardless of how close you are is not something you notice at normal viewing distances, but somehow when combined with the up-scaling clarity and depth is much increased at any distance. So check it out for yourself - the best deal at the moment I have seen is Harvey-Norman: https://www.harveynorman.com.au/samsung-65-inch-q900-8k pro-qled-smart-tv.html Nearly any store will price match - I got mine from video-pro. But again its not the resolution that hits you, it's the seamless clarity and depth. Why when you cant see pixels at normal distances that is I do not know. I think I did post a link at the start of peoples perception of 8K at normal distances. I will try and dig it up again and re-post it with some comments.

bhobba Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Here is the link I posted before and my comments: http://www.insightmedia.info/8k-tvs-top-tv-line-ups-for-a-reason/ What they wrote is pretty much what I noticed: 'As a result of the study, 8K displays performance was rated 35% higher—with perceived image quality increasing by 30% and depth perception increasing 60% from 4K to 8K.' They viewed at 9 feet - I view at about 10-12 feet Thanks Bill Edited June 27, 2019 by bhobba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I will do is when I find one, I will go back to Geoff at Good Guys..Artarmon. He was knowledgable, helpful, and not pushy. I am very concerned you had trouble getting them to play your content. These TV's are not cheap - any decent store should facilitate you doing what you did. Glad you got to eventually. Strange though you found the opposite of me. I found up-scaled HD better than my previous TV's 4k and my friend preferred the Samsung 8k to the Sony OLED 4K - the opposite of your impressions. But that comparison was done with 4k material rather than HD. Just goes to show you must look at TV's with your own content and make up your own mind. BTW the more I watch my TV the better I like it.

Hdblu4k Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I bought a 65inch the week they got released, Very impressed with the 8k upscaling from anything I throw at it just make it look a lot better then the normal 1080p and 4K screens.
