      I just got a 55" cu8000 and it has been a headache to set picture, with a glare in the right top side of the screen. Makes letterbox look faded at top. One question, does film maker defeat HDR?, as it is the only setting that doesn't show the HDR logo in picture adjustment bar.

    • @oHeihei
      @oHeihei 5 місяців тому +1

      @@Sqaidz4Life Camera white balance will do that. But also, I think the TV just wasn't setup and calibrated. Each panel might be slightly different, so even having them at the same settings and white balance in the menu might have different results. You'd need a colorimeter to perfectly calibrate each screen to match for there to be an effective comparison.
      I've found with Samsung monitors and TVs it takes a lot of out of the box setup to get a desirable picture. If it ends up having a more greenish tint, that's easily fixable. It just has to be adjusted.

    I think standard mode is actually definitely ideal for most people. Movie mode is only tolerable in a dark room. I hate they calibrators who think the 30 or 40 year old industry standards are still relevant on modern day TV's.

    I replaced a 50" au8000 with a 55" cu8000, and there is far too much light in the screen with all power brightness etc off. I think the tizen is too slow and quick options I had to adjust pic + sound are not there. Also ambient mode has gone. A very bright top of the screen is distracting. I think the size change is a problem, but I've only had it a day. Banding was also apparent on my Blu-ray when set to upscale, do I've simply left it to the TV and now this has gone. Not an upgrade just now 🙃

    Steve ..is tizen system slow in the startup in cu8000 or in all model the tizen slow in startup also the when I press on button in startup it may take 40 sec or 1 minute to open and load is this normal ?

    • @TechSteve
      @TechSteve  7 місяців тому +1

      It’s not normally that slow but because it’s a budget model from Samsung you might want to consider a apple tv, google chromecast or fire stick that don’t have to run a whole system that’s in the tv

      Check it's updated, I went from au8000 to cu8000, and I find it a bit sluggish, even for volume, but I'm getting used to it now. Also turn off any power saving and digital processing. This may help a little. Min doesn't take 40secs plus though 🙃
