Hi all. Not sure if there’s a fix so thought I’d question it on here.
just purchased a q90t from Samsung. picture quality is excellent etc. However, when watching freesat or football on now tv etc, I get a strange stutter where it looks like frames drop all of a sudden then it speeds up then will stutter again. It’s most noticeable when camera isn’t moving too much such as when interviewing a player etc.
all processing is off. I have tried turning judder reductions etc on at various levels but nothing helps.
It seems to the 50hz setting which freesat and now tv broadcast at as it’s a U.K. broadcast. Netflix and amazon etc are all fine.
Is this the micro stutter that I’ve heard about and is there a way around it to stop the stutter or is it just something I have to learn to live with?
thank you

As of 19/10/2020 this seems to be a known issue admitted by Samsung Customer Support. Please see this post.
Symptoms of the issue are intermittent slowdowns/speed ups, also commonly referred to as 'Samsung micro stutter' in previous years. People who've owned previous Samsung TVs state the issue is worse on 2020 models than before since Auto Motion Plus being disabled does not make a difference like it did in previous years.To be clear, it seems the issue relates to undefeatable motion processing exclusively on the 2020 models.
The issue doesn't seem to be dependant on input frame rate, or signal, since users report it also happening when using 24hz material and not only 25/50hz broadcast TV. Although it does seem broadcast TV is worse.
Update 22/10/2020
It seems the issue is present even on 60hz models when being fed a 50hz signal and thus means its unrelated to motion interpolation being forced on. It's probably an inherent fault of Samsung's motion processing full stop.
This thread is for discussing this known issue on 2020 QLED models from Samsung, Q60T and up. I have renamed the topic title accordingly. Please keep the topic on topic for discussion of these models only.
