As there is no colour management system I don't think firmware would be any use, and at the price point, I can't see an update being cost-effective. It is aimed at the general market and as such accuracy and the costs of a CMS have been left out to achieve the price point. I know that 98% of people who see this TV playing SDR (including some UK journalists) wouldn't realise it has errors, as they have never seen an accurate image before and will have it in Standard or Vivid, instead of Movie. But that's who the TV is aimed at.Thanks Phil.
Man, that's a shame with regard to Rec.709 accuracy, which still comprises the majority of day to day viewing.
Even factoring in the price and other attributes, this aspect of performance rules this television out for me. Any chance this issue could be addressed via firmware?
Understood, though it still seems like a large oversight, even given the price point. You can currently buy a GZ950 for not too much more, safe in the knowledge that SDR accuracy is exemplary.It is aimed at the general market and as such accuracy and the costs of a CMS have been left out to achieve the price point.
in the built in TV apps, Netflix does loads in 4K DV and HDR. Amazon some but only HDR. And there’s about two or three series in iPlayer which are more for testing.Do all the major streaming apps do 4K/DV/HDR10+/Atmos where applicable?
This TV basically gets you a whole TV for the price of an OLED panel with minimal profits. People pay more than a grand for a phone.I know a lot of people will say 'just use apple TV, roku etc' but the slow OS mentioned is a non starter for me. I appreciate its an oled but any TV costing a grand should not have these issues.
People do pay more than a grand for a phone but they would expect said phone to run like sh*t off a shovel, not lag when in use.This TV basically gets you a whole TV for the price of an OLED panel with minimal profits. People pay more than a grand for a phone.
I can understand that point of view, but all TV OS's seems to be poorly supported and updated as soon as the model is no longer current. I have found that dropping in a new fast streaming stick every few years and basically treating the TV as a monitor gives a fast and up to date user experience for the life of the screen.People do pay more than a grand for a phone but they would expect said phone to run like sh*t off a shovel, not lag when in use.
Everyone has things they are willing to compromise on and, for me, a laggy or buggy OS isn't one of them. I'd rather pay a bit more for an Oled that runs quickly and smoothly.
Yeah I have heard that but I have 2 mid range Sammy in my place, one 2 years old, the other 3 years old and both still run fast so I have little patience for one's that don't.I can understand that point of view, but all TV OS's seems to be poorly supported and updated as soon as the model is no longer current.

My oldest TV has been going for nearly 10 years and runs the 'basic' TV stuff fine (checking the EPG, changing channels, etc), but the performance of the 'smart stuff' (IPTV apps and services) started dropping off between 3-5 years in. I started to see services running unusably slow, or just not working at all.Yeah I have heard that but I have 2 mid range Sammy in my place, one 2 years old, the other 3 years old and both still run fast so I have little patience for one's that don't.
I previously had an 2016 LG Oled and that was too laggy for my liking as well. If a 400 quid Samsung I have in the bedroom can manage it then it can't be much to ask.
Don't get me wrong, this seems like a great telly, that's just something that would annoy me every day.
Dolby Atmos works with ARC, the compressed version. Not that you would probably notice that considering the effect is simulated.Hi folks, I am going to buy a new TV and 65OLED754 is (together with 65Q85R and 65XG9505) in my scope. I also want a Dolby Atmos soundbar purchase with the TV (Sams. Q90R or JBL Bar 9.1) and my question is, if the TV will send Dolby Atmos signal to the soundbar, when it does not have the eARC? Is eARC mandatory for Dolby Atmos?
Thanks, but B9 is still about €200 more expensive than above mentioned TVs (Czech Rep.).Dolby Atmos works with ARC, the compressed version. Not that you would probably notice that considering the effect is simulated.
You could get an LG B9 and eARC soundbar if you want maximum simulated dolby atmos. It should cost about the same?
