The clip is from a movie (should I mention the name or should I NOT mention the name?) where the effect was clearly visible and very reproducable, if it causes any copyright infringements I will obviously shorten it or remove it if necessary.
Bought a new TU7000 series TV. The first movie we watched was unbearable and after some time googling, I found it to be an "auto" setting that isn't "auto" as it should NOT do anything during movie playback.
(Auto Motion Plus also known as the 'soap opera effect' and indeed, it made the 50 million $ movie seem like something that was shot with a 150$ camera).
Now I am running into the issue shown in the video above. During dark scenes, it dimms the screen after a second.
Supposedly you can switch it off in a hidden menu, but really, should I be going into secret menu's on my brand new TV to get it anywhere near to acceptable?
I've had it, it is going back and no more Samsung for me.
About the clip above: I first tried it with my phone camera, and while the effect was visible, you could also clearly see the phone also adjusting the brightness and missing focus regularly. That's why I redid it with a Panasonic 4k camera on manual setting. The brightness of the wall in the right upper corner stays pretty much the same, so all effects you see are really the TV (imho) malfunctioning. The focus was also set to manual but I didn't notice it was slightly off... Sorry about that, but the effect I tried to show is clear I think.
