This forum has so many generously knowledgeable people - so thank you - I have learned much by lurking here for two years.
I have a two year old 55" B6V and a brand new 65" C8, both of which great TVs, having come from a 10 year old 42" Panasonic plasma.
For both sets I have used 5.1 speakers with Naim power amps, Marantz AV7702 MkII pre-processor + Humax Freesat HDR 1100S all with CAT 6 Ethernet !GB cable connections.
BUT, I have a couple of issues:
1) B6 seems to cope with black detail better than C8 which just gives a black background with no detail as is evidenced by the Netflix sign on screen in which I just cannot get the C8 to equal the B6 detail - see below: B6 first & C8 second

Any ideas you gurus? I have used both rtings ISF dark room & the new technicolour settings to no avail. The picture is superb on Dolby and HDR but was just thinking I may be missing something somewhere?
2) My main issue is Netflix & Amazon audio stuttering every 2-3 minutes - picture is fine.
I have raised an HDMI ARC issue with Richer sounds but they seem to have no solution.
The B6 never had this issue and the equipment used is the same.
The B6 is now moved to kitchen and the C8 replaces it in the sitting room.
The stutter does not occur on the internal speakers.
I am currently trying out an optical cable but my ignorance in how to set that up has stopped progress - calling Richer Sounds today for help. BUT the convenience of using HDMI ARC is where I really want to be. HELP! Any ideas?
