Incredibly helpful! Thank you. I was getting frustrated with the quality of the picture and even second-guessing the purchase of the AU8000, but found that using the advice in this video helped substantially.

This guide was amazing! Just got my new au8000 and had issues with flickering and in high speed frames smaller textures would get blocky. Turning the picture quality settings to off was game changing I thought my tv was broken at first 😅 movie mode with your recommended settings looks good too thank you!

You just saved a life here couldn't adjust the brightness cz even if I did it took a few minutes for it to adjust itself to the normal brightness. thanks be blessed 🙏 atleast now my eyes can breath...

Great work! thank you! I downloaded the files and the image became better but because i connect my pc on the tv (pc input 4k 60hz full range rgb, both sdr and hdr support) and there is no filmaker mode what whould you suggest of your settings be better for that mode?

I just bought this TV, the 7105 55", what's the best settings for this one? I notice some kind of lag and some strange thing with movement

[wickedadonis]

Thanks a bunch, mate!

Does it have auto motion plus under expert settings?

Hi Darko, your tips for the TU7000 were spot on! Will you be covering settings for the new Samsung Q60A QLED’s ?

[sim]

Thank for this review. I was wondering if it's normal to set 50/50 backlight, image is clearly dark it i'm not setting this

[kenward]

Good morning we just bought a TU 690T. Do you have a video on
That. It’s a 2022 model.

[barralifebarralife]

Clear review. Very good detail. Everyone else's reviews are shyte. Thanks heaps

[emrahkargili]

Hi Darko. I wonder if you can share also Color Space custom settings amd white balance settings? In movie mode is too yellow. I mean whites are not white but like a cream or beige. How can we set it up? I dont wanna do anything without knowledge. By the way I have 65au9000 series tv. Also need Hdr set up please :)

[tvfaristhegameryt]

hi thx for the setting but one question what is the better setting movie or filmmaker mode

[NisseHesedingMusic]

I recommend dynamic mode. The colors of the other modes are too low and greyish. The dynamic mode also has the high white tones and not that egg white. *I use a Samsung M7 Smart Monitor by the way.

90s: hit the tv for better picture
20s: hope you got a laptop handy for calibration lol
We’ve come a long way.

Could you cover your HDR Movie settings please? I have 2020 model of this TV, undecided between contrast enhancer on off, low or high. I find it needs high for HDR as TV is very dim without messing up gamma.

Also I find turning the colour up to 35 instead of 25 much better for HDR even though the screen cannot really display the extended colours. Thanks for good video as always.

Thankyou. Please explain the difference between setting motion blur and judder to zero as opposed to turning the setting off all together.

The way super almond or dynamic almond function so called adaptive brightness does this feature work on the tv as expected ? Adaptation to the environment.

[patrykisdiving]

Thank you for this video. I have an AU8079. Which mode you will recommend? Movie or Filmmaker? I mainly watch movies and series. Can I use your settings in in this video for Film mode? Thank you

[I-mf]
