@@mac33311133 NOT GOOD. I just bought a QLED q6 65" Samsung that looked great on display. And that's at least a mid-tier Samsung unit. I knew the trick they use at the stores, to display the very best signal they can to draw you in. But I expected at least the 1080P/1080I bcast would be decent. I found it was significantly WORSE than the 1080P TV we have. WAY WORSE. Motion blur, pixelization, even ghosting of static content. You can see the unit try to correct and re-correct and its annoying. Not to mention its terrible sound and cheap remote. Unless you're doing all games or all 4K you have to find the best upscaler you can. Hard to do it seems as no manufacturers discuss this. I'm at a loss. I read the Q8 is better. But that's 2x the price.

@@sonofthe80s Gotta say that sounds crap to me. I have a mid price Samsung 43inch 4K tv and I have excellent picture quality, First thing to note - your tv picture will only ever be as good as the source that’s feeding it! Here in the U.K., I have freeview terrestrial TV on a rooftop aerial and generally picture quality looks good across all channels even more so on HD. I also have cable tv which has a mixture of SD , HD and 4K content, and again, very little issue, I’m not naive not to know that QLED or OLED TVs will give much more detailed pictures, but when people say, oh I have terrible picture quality on decent sets like Samsung, I have to wonder what the hell they are watching?, Most Americans buy huge ass TVs without realising also that, tv pictures generally look worse, the bigger you go with screen size, here in the U.K. - 65inch is generally considered a bigger than average tv, not many people have this size - the most common is 43” - 50”, for the simple reason, tv pictures look shit the bigger you go, 4K content should always look decent! And just to finish, majority of TVs in. Store are in demo mode which boost contrasts and colour to make everything look sharpe and oversaturated, you should never ever use your tv with these settings!

I'm not going to stop watching all my fave programs just because they're not in some sort of super hd. So it's really important a new tv can give a nice image on sd content, otherwise might as well just buy a 5 year old model for tv viewing.

After years of watching digital flat panel TVs, most of which I've had a hand in performing basic level calibrations, I still have that 'wow' moment when I visit my Aunt, and look at the 17-19" Trinitron showing the news on her kitchen counter! Yes, I adjusted that one also, and it still lends a 'you are there' feeling every time I see it.

I have no issue running 2k or lower resolution content on my 4k 65" Passive 3D LG. It has a phenomenal picture no matter what. Inboard processing is spot on. It depends more on the panel used in the tv. They vary from brand to brand, and within each brand, they vary not only from model to model but also from size to size within those models. And the panels can even vary within the same size on the same model. I find Sony, LG, and Vizio all have fairly consistent picture quality on most models and sizes, but Samsung's lower tier models like the 6000 series have garbage panels and processing. Did you, by any chance, buy one of those? The worst tv I have is a 6000 series Samsung 40" active 3D. Terribly crushed blacks, bad gradation, awful off-axis image, plus other weird anomalies. Even the 3D has bad cross-talk. The only redeeming qualities on the TV are excellent full array back-lighting consistency, and wonderfully smooth 120Hz frame-interpolation (Auto Motion Plus) set to Custom with Blur Reduction and Judder Reduction both set to 10. Makes everything so smooth, buttery, and life-like. Drops the ball on everything else though.

I can’t believe someone hasn’t corrected you yet. Anyway, it’s 4 times the resolution not double the resolution. I know it can be confusing, because 3840 is double 1920 & 2160 is double 1080p; however when you actually multiply the numbers together that’s when you get the pixel count so... 3840x2160 = 8,294,400 And 1920x1080 = 2,073,600 As you can see 8,294,400 is a little more than 4 times resolution of 2,073,600. Also, just additional info 4K derives from that first number 3840... there are cinema formats that’s closer to that number... there is also 2K, 8K and so on...DCI 2K, 4K has a wider screen format than our typical television screen which have a 16:9 ratio.

Nice video! I echo others comments that you produce really good videos, both in production and quality content. I am one of the people you speak of that bought an expensive 4k OLED TV, and hate the way cable looks, particularly things like NFL football. I actually tried all of your suggestions...being unhappy with the TV processing producing soft images and lots of noise and motion artifacting, I tried the upscaling of my higher end Denon receiver. It was slightly better, but the motion was worse. Then I tried upscaling though my Oppo UDP-203 4k Blu Ray player which is known to have really good upscaling/processing. The Oppo was the best of the three. Crystal clear picture...as long as everything is still or moving slowly, but still has some blur and artifacting with motion. My cable signal is generally 1080i. But some signals are more compressed than others I guess. I am not super happy with my cable TV watching experience on my 4K OLED, but have come to the conclusion that because my particular cable feed is either overly compressed, or my cable box is processing the signal badly or whatever, that I am not going to be able to do anything about it. I guess I will watch football on my plasma in the other room...
@whistlingtechav58046 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment Michael! It sounds like you've run the gamut on things to try to improve your situation, but I'll add a couple of other suggestions just in case it might help. When it comes to motion processing, it's all about finding the sweet spot between the "blur" and "judder" settings in your TV's picture menu. You can tweak these when you set the motion preset to "custom." Since you have an OLED, you can probably max out the blur reduction slider (or close to max) without compromising the brightness of your picture (LCDs usually lose a lot of brightness when raising that setting). The judder setting is the touchy one. If you set it too high it will make the picture look weird, like some kind of strange 3D version of whatever you're watching. Also it can add artifacts around objects that are in motion if it's set too high. It does make a big difference in detail however, so you want to find the spot where it's helping with detail but not adding any weirdness to the picture. Also, check your cable box settings and see if it has a resolution setting that outputs whatever is the native resolution of the channel you're watching. Your TV probably does a way better job handling the processing than the cable box, so the less it does the better! Hope that helps - thanks again!

By default modern 4k TVs have all kinds of noise filters, mpeg filters, motion interpolation and similar turned on by default. Turn of all that crap and it will start to look more natural and normal as most of thees make things look worse not better... Also, 4K tv will not magically make crappy TV broadcasts look better. You will need high qulity 4k video to make use of the 4k advantages. If you 4k tv is larger then your old 1080p and your viewing distance is the same and you watch crappy low quality TV broadcast it will of course look worse because it will show you the lack of quality more clearly. Digital tv broadcasts is of horrible bad quality most of the time in my experience compared to even the most crappy pirated stuff on Internet. Nothing I have ever found on internet have been worse then Digital TV at least here in Norway... Also there is many things that can go wrong so TV gets the wrong signal (happened with my new 55" Samsung). In my case tv was expecting a full RGB signal but was getting a limited dynamic range signal from the PC bacause HDMI2 was turned off on the TV by default. Collors was all wrong and everything to dark (25 darkest and 16 brightest colors was simply put to 0 and 255). When I activated HDMI2 in the TV I suddenly had the possibility to turn on full 0 - 255 RGB at 60hz in 4k and no more distorted colors.

I got a 55" vizio smart tv 4k a few years ago. Unless you are playing 4k, it looks terrible. Very choppy and blocky. I also found an obscure setting that allows the tv to switch between 30hz and 60hz depending on the video. It helped with youtube videos that were jittery. Otherwise great video. You summed up my problem to the t. It wasn't a cheap tv though so I'm surprised it didn't have better hardware to process the upscaling.

The reason why it looks better or suppose to look better in a store is because all the soap opera true motion effects are activated in the store to get your eyes to buy it . When it’s home you have to do some calibrating work on it. I turned all my true motion off it doesn’t do anything.

So is this why shows on Netflix look kind of fuzzy or like an old ps2 game? I just got a 1080p tv from a guy and that's what it looks like. I'm running the show through Xbox and normal cable looks the same
@a647385 жыл бұрын
The fuzzy look is because of all the crappy filters and motion interpolation and stuff going on making everything look like a painting viewed trough a layer of vazeline. Turn of all that crap and it will look a lot better and normal... By default every filter is turned on at full.

It's not to bad when the picture is bright but when it goes dark it gets grainy and pixelized. This is my second Panel as the first one was horrible on everything except 4k. This is replacing a SONY 55' Bravia HD tv. That tv had a good picture on brights also and really bad pixelized in blacks. Maybe I need a new Dish Box? There should be a setting on the tv that will allow me to set the tv to 1080P or 4K. This way is all you watch is cable/Dish channels it won't have a hard time upscaling

I have a samsung qled 7f 65in 4k. I look around youtube and everybody always be saying that sharpness should be turn down and motion plus should be off but trust me. Dont listen to what they say. Everytime you get a new tv. Your eyes havent adjusted to your new tv yet. I turn my sharpness to 100 and my motion plus to custom and put both settings to 10. Put this on movie mode. Brightness and backlight is adjusted to your liking and my contrast is usually 90-100 and color is at 80. Hdr is used for only movies, gaming and youtube ect....If people dont like sharpness and motion plus. Go back to 60hz. Sharpness and motion plus are supposed to be utilize for fast pace movement video on 120hz and 240hz. If you wanna know how to get the best quality pictures for your liking then put on a 4k video on youtube, pause it and adjust the picture quality to your likings.

Exactly, our brains are so used to a lower resolution, are so used to 24 fps content (something that was agreed upon more than 80 years, to make moving images (or movies) look smooth without wasting money on film), that 4K seems to look 'bad' when watching movies. When The Hobbit was released, people and critics said it looked bad because of the higher resolution and 30fps. In fact, it was the opposite: the picture quality was 'too good' for our brains. You now see so much detail that you couldn't see in 1080p and 24fps, which meant that you could see when something was a set piece or prop, you could see the imperfections of the CGI, ... We are going to used to it the more we watch it. In the 60's, 70's, 80's... when we saw a movie, we thought it looked great. Well, now we think they look crap. The thing is: the jump from 1080p to 4k is so big (4 times sharper), that it's like a shock. I watched The Dark Knight Rises yesterday in 4K, and thought: 'jeezes, that Batman costume looks fake like plastic'. Guess what: it is fake and made out of plastic. :-)

My 12 year old 50" Sammy is still chugging along just fine. Nothing really wrong with it. But I still went out and finally bought a 55" Sammy HDR TV. Mostly for the power consumption difference. That old plasma sucks up a LOT of power and I watch a lot of TV. I like the heat it sends off in the winter time, but it's a bane come summer days. So I'd rather turn the heat up a tad in winter and at least be able to survive and watch TV come summer. I'll miss my plasma but keep it around as a backup if this one ever shits the bed and needs work.

The short answer is yes, connecting the ethernet cable will work best. You might be able to get 4k over Wifi if your router is close and you get speeds over 25 Mbps download. But, if it's easy to connect the cable, just do that.

@@daughterearth9 On my 9 year old LG 42" TV you turn of all filters in the menus (clearly marked). But on my new 55" Samsung it is a lot more complicated because they have tried to make it easy and less complicated. The manual give you no help as it only say how to hook it up and turn it on, rest you must figure out by yourself (easy and less complicated my a ...) But I have on my own by testing input response figured out that it seems to turn of ALL filters automatically when the Samsung is connected to a computer. I also had trouble with that it would only use 30hz or 60hz with limited dynamic range and the last one gave distorted colors with no way of correcting it (unlike the old LG tv where correcting for that was easy). But after fiddling around on my own I found out by accident that I could turn on support for HDMI2 and full color, very strange that they would leave something like that turned of by default making the TV usless as PC monitor... I already miss my 9 year old 42" LG tv as that was much less complicated and easy to use because there was no hidden automatic settings with no explanations what it would do. That old TV had more advanced settings then a professional high end monitor when you dared to wander into the expert. I was using it as a high end professional monitor for 1/3 of the price and all those settings did come in handy... Now it seems impossible to get a TV that is not made so simple that you can not adjust anything by yourself anymore...

My screen is not sharp and focused so I checked out your vid on that issue. So I can only assume that to correct this issue is either JUST watch 4K TV on it or purchase one of those units that you mentioned. What I don't understand is that the network channels do broadcast in HD, so why wouldn't it pick that up? I do understand (kind of), the 720 and 1080 resolution thing, however, I was really hoping that you would guide me through some sort of walk-thru in my setting to correct it. No? Not do-able huh?

Qled VA LCD screens have less problem then normal VA LCD screens (QLED has nothing to do with OLED as QLED is also LCD unlike OLED that have no LCD screen at)
