It was running the latest firmware Steve, under Picture Modes there are various options like Standard and Movie and you'll also find Cal-Day and Cal-Night. They aren't new picture modes and have been available on all of Samsung's 2017 models since the start of this year.Great review, I have this tv and love it....But you mention day-cal and night-cal options ?
These don't appear in my piture settings, my TV is on formware 1124 and when I try to update it states I'm on the latest firmeware ?
What firmware is your review model please ?
I'm afraid there's zero chance of any TV having those next year.thanks steve, good review. The 49" Q7 is a good price now BUT the loss of cinema black feature , component connection and 3d over my JS samsung is still stopping me "upgrade". I suppose there's zero chance of next years samsungs having a component connection and 3d?
I comment on Samsung's pricing in the review but it's fair to say they were pricing way above the competition earlier in the year but it looks as though recent price reductions have brought them more into line.Hi Steve, A lot of talk on forums that Samsung Tv's are priced quite high when compared to last years models, brexit/pound value has to come into it, Also you have to factor in the pricing at different stages of its shelf life, any thoughts on that?

At that price, an OLED is a no brainer over an LCD.
From my experience, if your going to be using Any Oled as a family TV, i would advise to stick with LCD/LED for now. I dont want Togo into again as i sound like a Oled hater which i am not, I HAVE ONE a 55 930V.
But they have the very real danger of screen burn (Oled ageing) watching normal tv. Anything with info bars with yellow/white or red colours I.E SOCCER SATURDAY, which is the one that killed my panel. The pixels in that area have age thus looking like what you would call burn in, is now visible on everything sadly.
Any how that another story.
You're looking in the right place, have scrolled down through the options, they're at the bottom. I don't have the review sample any more, so I can't tell you the firmware number I'm afraid.Hi Steve, iv checked and under picture modes i have dynamic, standard & movie ?
Unless im looking in the wrong place ..Can you tell me the firmware number please on your review model
No, I think both those models are better, which is why they scored higher in their respective reviews.So would you say overall that this was better competition to the Sony XE90 or XE93?
It was firmware version 1137.Can you tell me the firmware number please on your review model
It was firmware version 1137.
Hi Steve, I checked with Samsung and it turns out that the Cal-Day and Cal-Night modes are added when you use the Auto Cal feature, which I didn't realise. So I'll have to update my review accordingly. Sorry about the confusion. However the Movie mode will basically be the same, so use that if you want an accurate picture.Mines 1124.. So I think I'll updat via USB thanks..I defo don't have th day night cal option ? View attachment 922996

OLED has come some way since the 930V model 2014 generation. A friend purchased an LG OLED recently, moving away from LCD. Mainly used as a family TV from sports to kids content, etc. He said it was the best move made and couldn't go back to LCD tech. I personally prefer the OLED picture to a LCD, when I bought my 1080p Panny Viera people told me, 'Oh no' why did you buy a plasma, they are rubbish and you will have dreaded screen burn. But when they saw the black levels, motion panning and natural colours/image look they were silenced. 9 years old and still standing, play PS3/PS4 a lot and even had a static image left on by accident for more than 2 hours, no image retention
