For most neutral colour reproduction, a movie scene is the ideal picture to test on as you are looking to match the producer camera settings.The OLED set to movie will be the closest you can get to D65 white balance . So for the QLED to look natural on all content and as close as to the OLED full potential repeat the test with Movie mode on. Natural mode is not bad at all but it normally exhibit too much red or Blue and that would be far off from Movie near accurate colours without being calibrated professionally. I hope this helps
I own a 3 year old 65 inch Panasonic oled which dominates my 2023 Samsung q70c qled 75 inch.. no way in hell can u make the qled look anywhere near as good in evwry way, then a oled..😆🤦♂️🙄
Hi. Thank you for your great technical reviews. I bought a Samsung Q70A 55 inch yesterday. There is a problem with colors on this TV. For example Sponge Bob cartoon, the Sponge Bob has a very dark yellow color. You think there is a little bit green mixed with yellow or for example, I watched Nat Geo ( not from satellite, by LAN) and the faces were kind of pink instead of natural skin tone. I tried to reduce the color or contrast or testing other picture settings but the problem is still there. What should I do? It's a bummer!
@@alilmamba no I honestly dont see slow speeds. Like Im not a professional competitive gamer playing in tournaments and stuff like that. Those people that care about LAG so much need to use a computer monitor for their screen. Not a TV :)
@@deceptionz187 It's pretty bad without game mode on. The TV looks like it's skipping frames pretty often. My lady can even see it when she's playing on the Switch when game mode turns off after lifting the Switch out sometimes.
Yah also just make sure to also adjust the brightness down to almost nothing on the Samsung while watching hockey to match that brightness limiter of OLED as well.
R J who dafuq watches hockey? 🤣 the OLED’s are too bright even now while I have the brightness on 50 it’s lighting up the whole room, only thing I dislike about the tv since I prefer a dark setting like in a cinema
Just pleaee keep in mind these are my personal settings and I am by no means an expert and they have been posted to POTENTIALLY help you guys out,I guarantee nothing 😄 These settings I use for a variety of content such as regular TV,movies and gaming (out of game mode). Just as a side note,as good as these settings MIGHT be there are some scenes/situations where the Samsung will still struggle when it comes to black levels and you may still see blooming/raised black levels/washed out look.
Now I will copy those settings in game mode, and I will try to get close to this pop looking image in game mode. Your picture settings looks very well in my European Pal samsung q90r 65 too
Hi, have you ever had any of your TV's calibrated professionally? I have bought te LG B9 recently and the settings out of the box aren't great. I've used the LG B( settings you made a video about - but they are a little bright for my liking.
@@smokesgtp You dont know what your talking about i have a both a QLED Q90R and an LG CX the Q90r has 99% comparable black levels, if i had to lose one TV it would be the OLED as the QLED has comparable black levels and there is no risk of burn-in so you don't have to manage what you watch, furthermore HDR looks better on the Qled as its specular highlights are far more impressive and pop so much better as the Qled which can hit up to 1700 nits which is far more impressive in HDR content than the 750 nits of the OLED.
@@Lawson7086 the contrast isn't even close. Side by side the OLED blows it out of the water. Grey uniformity is much better on the OLED also. If you need more brightness than the LG provides you must be watching TV outside, in which case, there are LED TVs made just for that. Motion handling, lack of blooming, input lag, screen response time, the OLED is just better tech. Geek Squad warranty covers burn in for 5 years. Well worth $350.
@@Lawson7086 Look at the checkerboard contrast test on rtings. The Samsung looks like somebody took a piss in the white squares LOL and the black squares are a shade of grey.
I replicated these settings on my 65Q90T. Looks really decent. Note - they've changed the labels on the 90T. Backlight in the video is called Brightness on my TV. I set Brightness in the 90T to 40. Brightness in the video is called Shadow Detail on my TV. I set this to minus 2.
You can adjust the settings all day to replicate OLED look on a particular scene, but doing that u can crush the shadow details The thing is hardware limitations can never be entirely overcome by software. It might give u a pleasing OLED look on one scene but might ruin other scenes
Very true. I tried to use the same philosophy on my old Hitachi LED as well as my Samsung gaming monitor and the results were as you described. However, applying The Tech Giant's settings on my Q6DR (Q60R) resulted in no loss of detail in the backs at all, simply improved their inkiness. It all depends on the quality of the panel and what brains are driving it.
@@aridgp1 Are you saying that I need an OLED next to my QLED for my eyes to tell me that the blacks are crushed on the latter? After calibration all I have to do is pause any dark scene and adjust the brightness/contrast up to see how much detail is present and compare that to what I see with my settings. I am not saying in any way that QLEDs can match OLEDs blackest blacks, but to say that QLEDs lose detail when you adjust them down to their blackest potential is absurd!
@@MrKeech666 well how will you know whether your blacks are crushed or not if you have nothing to compare to ? Satisfaction is one thing, it's great you are satisfied and all should be with their respective televisions .. I just wanted to state the fact that hardware limitations cannot be overcome with software settings
Absolutely what I was thinking.. He might achieve the OLED black levels but also added terrible black crush which lose the shadow details.. bad settings
You will need to be in game mode for the input lag so those setting will be different. Hopefully will drop one for that. I have an oled gx and its amazing
Great settings! Applied it to my Q90R as well except I kept contrast enhancer to high instead of low. Just didn’t seem bright enough. Really made a difference and made the colors pop
I copied your settings for my Q60R (contrast at 48) and think it looks amazing! Thanks for the tip! YOU GOT A NEW SUB! 🤟😎 TIP for OLED like Game Mode: If you play in HDR and are having troubles achieving an inky black, especially with Cyberpunk 2077, do the following - Turn off Intelligent mode, lower the brightness and contrast (-2, 48), Contrast Enhancer to Low, and make sure in the Game Mode Settings that Black Enhancer is *off*. On PC you can't adjust colour, tint, and of course Contrast Enhancer has been replaced by Gamma. That's ok, just make sure you select BT and not 2.2 Standard and keep it at 0. Keep Colour Tone to Standard but this is a personal preference as I find, especially with PC, the colour is already accurate (because Windows/Mac automatically treats the QLED as a PC monitor uses it's built in calibrated/native colour profile). Oh, and for Windows users, in the AMD/NVIDIA control panel make sure the output is set to 4:4:4 PC standard and that 10-Bit is enabled, otherwise you will get nasty colour banding and dithering.
Great work Paul. Check my settings for game mode: SDR Backlight: 42 brightness: - 2 contrast 49 sharpness: 8 g/r 0 color temp: standard contr ench: hight local dimm: hight gamma bt. 1886 - 2 native color.

EDITED: Actually hate the Tv and will send it back. Got every issue so many ppl have - dse/inverse/purple ghosting and extreme blooming. This is by far the worst POS Tv I ever seen 👎 Never touch any LCD again. I just ordered the CX. Best PQ in the world. And the burn in aint that big of a deal any longer, with these new sets! Should thank.Samsung for putting out such garbage, so I go OLED insteed 👍🏻 Ordered the Q90T yesterday. The perfect Tv for sure 👍🏻 Tried out C9 - NOT impressed. This Samsung just kills everything.

I AGREE! BURN IN was my ultimate deciding choice on whether to go for an 85" OLED or the 85" Q90T :) You know.... I spent $500 extra just in getting my QLED swapped 3x from the TV moving company because the 1st and 2nd time, there was crazy ghosting issues on my TV. Now though, my Q90T is frigging FLAWLESS! I examined it each time over and over to find factory detects in the panel. But I am a HAPPY customer now! Whoot whooot
Seriously soap opera effects, and leaving the settings at default is ridiculous... I always tune everything from TV’s, Projectors, and Audio Equipment using equalizers. It’s a shame most people don’t understand how easy it is to improve your picture.
Thanks Paul. I thought I had my QLED dialed in pretty well until I saw your video. Picture was great before but I would now describe it as stunning. Used your settings as a guideline and had to make some minor adjustments outside of your parameters to suit my room and taste but it really made a difference.Thanks again Paul.
I’ve tried your picture settings and it looks great. Is there any way you could do a video on the QLED Q70R? Instead of game mode, Can you do it on regular viewing?
My frame qled looks amazing with a lil ambient lighting shining on it but different strokes different folks but I also like a high gloss screen vs a matte finish I’ve always adjusted all My Samsung Tv’s from the Natural setting and personally I Love watching cartoons on my set Rick and Morty Young Justice anything DC Marvel Disney Animated to me that’s where that qled shines
@@shivabharadwaj3275 use a white bias light. But the xergy brand and use these video settings as well as set the shadow detail to zero. I have the frame 2020 and blacks were grey before but very deep now.
Hmm. The fact that you can almost make your qled look loike oled and even maybe actually fool some people, is amazing! I wonder How well this will work with the 2021 qleds
The -2 brightness won't work on the Q95. I have it on +50. The rest of your settings are almost the same basic default settings from the factory, for the Q95. Thanks for the video!
Great Video!! I just bought the 75" Samsung QN90A and was playing around with settings for hours. I found your video and Natural looks so much better. I also tweaked my settings close to what you have.
That was truly impressive. I heard someone mention how an expert picture setting will do wonders for the final images. I'm getting a Q80T in a few weeks and I will certainly give those settings a try. 👍🏾
Yeah it looks good but I don’t get why everyone says to leave your picture mode on movie, I tried it and I don’t like it. It looks washed out and the screen is too dark.
Same. I'm gonna try these settings tonight. But yeah all the reviews and experts say movie mode but my god all the settings they suggest make the tv look like crap. I his settings is for those of us who like actual color lol. Most tvs I think do better in movie mode, but these qleds I say move mode is too washed out.
@@codygaul3341 its weird honestly on my Q70t when i first went to movie mode it was dark like i thought, but later on after i had turned off all the intelligent crap i went back to movie mode and its was like brightest thing ever haha im not exactly sure why, but it looked insane. So it might be something i did outside of picture settings?
a very good job; and i concur; instead of movie mode; the picture looks more rich in the natural mode; so i agree with you on the settings; i have a 2018 Q8; and it was killing me how when watching the apple tv box and using the NBA app why my screen looked so white out; until i followed your guidelines...and now the games and arena and background looks more rich....and as you say; you might have to make a few tweeks for different apps and hdmi settings; but nothing beats a washed out picture....
I got a Samsung 65 Q80T 2 days ago, first tried the rtings settings looke crap,then tried the avsforum settings looked green tinged lol. Then tried these settings and they are great 👍 The only problem I have is because it's natural mode when a HDR source is used it doesn't change the settings ie max the brightness and contrast just stays at these settings. And if I try and change the settings it changes them across the board so for SDR also. The HDR symbol shows on the natural mode logo in options but I don't think it is changing anything as none of the settings change, the brightness which switches to max (50) when you use movie mode from whatever it is in movie mode in SDR doesn't work like that in natural mode. Anyone know a workaround as I like these settings but want the brightness and contrast to max when hdr material is played like it does in movie mode but reverts back to SDR settings when that is played. I did try these exact settings in movie mode but looks washed out. Please help!!
I bought a Q60T and returned after 3 days. It's a waste of money, too short on settings... from Samsung only Q90 worths, but oled is better, by far. Just saying...
does anyone have any calibration tips, for a very dark room even during the day!? because the samsung Q80A it has a very strong brightness especially in game mode with hdr
You are the MAN, thank you so much btw if you are gaming on q800t there is a workaround for inverse ghosting. Just set the xbox to 1440p and 120hz and uncheck "allow 4k" then use game mode+ this should get rid of inverse ghosting until we get next gen consoles with hdmi 2.1 signals
Tried the settings on my Q85R and can attest to the great picture. Had a LG B7 in the past but passed onto the parents due to image retention issues (square box in the centre, most likely from Xbox dashboard). I go QLED for this reason and I am soured on OLED. But OLED had great inky blacks and with this setup, QLED has the advantage of more popping of colour and brightness. Tried Fifa 21, Last of Us 2 and Forza 7 and they look tremendous. For me I found that Standard was the best starting point but natural is great also
Thank you so much for your efforts. You helped a lot. We bought a Q70t and a black one in a white fog. Since there is no local dimming on TV, I set the contrast improvement to high. Please tell me is this setting universal for all games? Because Ratchet and Clank, the image appears dark. With love from Russia.
Hey man I just bought the Q90t after going back and forth between that and the LG CX. Great video. Really appreciate it. Going to follow along with those settings.
That's so interesting,i believe qled can look like or close to oled by changing picture setting but oled can't look like qled never ever.qled is everything and very smar choise.and about nano its a good panel with a good contrast against oled with very good price.
To go even further with this... Did you change the Gamma at all? Because I found that changing the Gamma to 1.8 on my LCD TV gave a similar "pop" of contrast that OLED delivers after dropping the brightness.
@@lewisevander I have a 43 inch TCL. The S425 model, to be exact. After further tweaking, I found that the perfect settings to match OLED black levels were with 2.4 Gamma and Brightness set to 49. I kept the Contrast at 100 to push the brightest image possible.
@@officialcreatordestroy thanks I have a Samsung frame TV but gamma option is greyed out in natural mode. Will try it on the movie mode. The problem is it's not always possible to change the gamma as it gets greyed on in certain content like hdr.
@@Mietas2 Hi mate, hope you're well! 😀 yeah you're right. I was being daft here! anyway what you said is right, it did improve the picture quality with the calibration
@@assasinssab2011 Thanks, I'm good 😎 It's all about personal preference. I used to have some smoothing on, but started to notice artifacts whilst streaming. Blamed the stream at first, but then turned judder reduction off and picture is pristine now. I always take some ready made settings and then tweak the bit it don't like.
Wavy Kay I wanted the Q90 series but nobody had one in stock, currys couldn’t get one but after going through the specs of this tv, and getting £200 off seemed a good deal 👍
The Tech Giant I’m sure if you apply the same settings to it ( like in this video) then it’ll be the same as oled. I was considering an oled for the brilliant picture quality but I was really worried about screen burn and the fact the manufacturer won’t do anything about it if it did. This tv has a 10 year anti ‘screen burn’ warranty. I know qled doesn’t get screen burn 👍. I know that flat panel TVs don’t have amazing sound so I’ve connected from the one box optical out to a dac, then I’ve ran a phono cable to my right phono input to my b&w subwoofer. Fantastic bass now while watching regular tv 👏👍. Obviously the subwoofer is connected to my av receiver ( left input) too 😉. Can’t wait to see your video on this tv ‘the frame’. You can keep it on all day as a picture if you want. Just press quickly the power button. The two gripes I have with it so far are,,,,, it’s sometimes quite laggy through the input choices, I’ll try to scroll to say UA-cam, it’ll not scroll then all of a sudden it scrolls, the other is at the top right of screen, I’ll quite often get pop up menus like connect to smart device or Ethernet issues 🤷♂️. Otherwise it’s a fantastic picture 👍
Would this work for Q60? Thinking how about keeping the mode to Natural warm as opposed to Natural cool. I find cool really uncool to my eyes. 😊. Love the way you actually got both the TV sets looking almost identical.
For most neutral colour reproduction, a movie scene is the ideal picture to test on as you are looking to match the producer camera settings.The OLED set to movie will be the closest you can get to D65 white balance . So for the QLED to look natural on all content and as close as to the OLED full potential repeat the test with Movie mode on. Natural mode is not bad at all but it normally exhibit too much red or Blue and that would be far off from Movie near accurate colours without being calibrated professionally. I hope this helps
I own a 3 year old 65 inch Panasonic oled which dominates my 2023 Samsung q70c qled 75 inch.. no way in hell can u make the qled look anywhere near as good in evwry way, then a oled..😆🤦♂️🙄

I AGREE! BURN IN was my ultimate deciding choice on whether to go for an 85" OLED or the 85" Q90T :)
You know.... I spent $500 extra just in getting my QLED swapped 3x from the TV moving company because the 1st and 2nd time, there was crazy ghosting issues on my TV.
Now though, my Q90T is frigging FLAWLESS! I examined it each time over and over to find factory detects in the panel. But I am a HAPPY customer now! Whoot whooot
I don't have these options on my qn94a
Seriously soap opera effects, and leaving the settings at default is ridiculous... I always tune everything from TV’s, Projectors, and Audio Equipment using equalizers. It’s a shame most people don’t understand how easy it is to improve your picture.
Personally i like the soap opera effect,but it's each to their own.
Can you do it for q80t, as it doesnt have Backlight Settings anymore ? Thnx
Thanks Paul. I thought I had my QLED dialed in pretty well until I saw your video. Picture was great before but I would now describe it as stunning. Used your settings as a guideline and had to make some minor adjustments outside of your parameters to suit my room and taste but it really made a difference.Thanks again Paul.
That's great to hear the video and settings helped you out 🙂
Enjoy!
Any updates ?
I’ve tried your picture settings and it looks great. Is there any way you could do a video on the QLED Q70R? Instead of game mode, Can you do it on regular viewing?
How about in motion ? Will they be the same
Thanks for this interesting video. IO've just bought a 65Q80B. I wonder if this video works also for my TV?
My frame qled looks amazing with a lil ambient lighting shining on it but different strokes different folks but I also like a high gloss screen vs a matte finish I’ve always adjusted all My Samsung Tv’s from the Natural setting and personally I Love watching cartoons on my set Rick and Morty Young Justice anything DC Marvel Disney Animated to me that’s where that qled shines
i also have the frame but when room is dark blacks are appearing as grey any solution fr that.
@@shivabharadwaj3275 use a white bias light. But the xergy brand and use these video settings as well as set the shadow detail to zero. I have the frame 2020 and blacks were grey before but very deep now.
Does gamma matter? I dont have that option on my qled 80
Just buy the Sony XH950 and it's already close to OLED
it would be nice to see the XH900 or XH95 on this channel he's never had a Sony set.
Yes I would be very interested in that review as well.
Hmm. The fact that you can almost make your qled look loike oled and even maybe actually fool some people, is amazing! I wonder How well this will work with the 2021 qleds
The -2 brightness won't work on the Q95. I have it on +50. The rest of your settings are almost the same basic default settings from the factory, for the Q95. Thanks for the video!
I like the settings! 👍👍
Thank you
@@TheTechGiantUA-cam can you do an updated video on how to do this on a q80t?
copied this basically on my $450 TCL 5 Series QLED looks like a much more expensive TV now!
Great Video!! I just bought the 75" Samsung QN90A and was playing around with settings for hours. I found your video and Natural looks so much better. I also tweaked my settings close to what you have.
The only thing stopping me from buying the q95 is the fact Samsung don’t support Dolby vision
It really won't effect you.
That was truly impressive. I heard someone mention how an expert picture setting will do wonders for the final images. I'm getting a Q80T in a few weeks and I will certainly give those settings a try. 👍🏾
I think the settings made the samsung look slightly better than the oled in my opinion
it is probably with 4k @ 60 Hz Outside Game Mode
66.4 ms
That OLED looks pretty good considering the brightness of the room
To bad q80t dont have backlight just has brightness i was close to pulling this off but not having the backlight did me in
Will this work on the Q60R 2019?
Give it a try,you have got nothing to lose
I have the q80r and theres this settings called gamma, which does alot to the picture
your gaming on a tv without the gameing mood on.. makes no sense 😢
So, you're out of game mode ?
Yeah it looks good but I don’t get why everyone says to leave your picture mode on movie, I tried it and I don’t like it. It looks washed out and the screen is too dark.
Same. I'm gonna try these settings tonight. But yeah all the reviews and experts say movie mode but my god all the settings they suggest make the tv look like crap. I his settings is for those of us who like actual color lol.
Most tvs I think do better in movie mode, but these qleds I say move mode is too washed out.
@@codygaul3341 its weird honestly on my Q70t when i first went to movie mode it was dark like i thought, but later on after i had turned off all the intelligent crap i went back to movie mode and its was like brightest thing ever haha im not exactly sure why, but it looked insane. So it might be something i did outside of picture settings?
i have hope u can do it this same with sony xh90 please ✌️
a very good job; and i concur; instead of movie mode; the picture looks more rich in the natural mode; so i agree with you on the settings; i have a 2018 Q8; and it was killing me how when watching the apple tv box and using the NBA app why my screen looked so white out; until i followed your guidelines...and now the games and arena and background looks more rich....and as you say; you might have to make a few tweeks for different apps and hdmi settings; but nothing beats a washed out picture....
I got a Samsung 65 Q80T 2 days ago, first tried the rtings settings looke crap,then tried the avsforum settings looked green tinged lol. Then tried these settings and they are great 👍
The only problem I have is because it's natural mode when a HDR source is used it doesn't change the settings ie max the brightness and contrast just stays at these settings. And if I try and change the settings it changes them across the board so for SDR also. The HDR symbol shows on the natural mode logo in options but I don't think it is changing anything as none of the settings change, the brightness which switches to max (50) when you use movie mode from whatever it is in movie mode in SDR doesn't work like that in natural mode.
Anyone know a workaround as I like these settings but want the brightness and contrast to max when hdr material is played like it does in movie mode but reverts back to SDR settings when that is played.
I did try these exact settings in movie mode but looks washed out.
Please help!!
For some reason when trying your settings cant get auto motion plus to be available
Thanks but my q60r does not have local dimming
I bought a Q60T and returned after 3 days. It's a waste of money, too short on settings... from Samsung only Q90 worths, but oled is better, by far. Just saying...
does anyone have any calibration tips, for a very dark room even during the day!? because the samsung Q80A it has a very strong brightness especially in game mode with hdr
Can I apply this settings on Samsung Ru 7400 with good results?
no, i believe this is for qled only
You can make qled look dark like oled but you can't make oled look like bright like qled
But with this you sacrifice the game mode..
You are the MAN, thank you so much btw if you are gaming on q800t there is a workaround for inverse ghosting. Just set the xbox to 1440p and 120hz and uncheck "allow 4k" then use game mode+ this should get rid of inverse ghosting until we get next gen consoles with hdmi 2.1 signals
great video mate!!!! gonna try these settings on my 55Q70R. just a quick question, can these settings work for SDR games like gta 5....????
Yes mate they should work fine.
It looks good....👍🏼 but should I keep the black level on low or normal???
Tried the settings on my Q85R and can attest to the great picture. Had a LG B7 in the past but passed onto the parents due to image retention issues (square box in the centre, most likely from Xbox dashboard). I go QLED for this reason and I am soured on OLED. But OLED had great inky blacks and with this setup, QLED has the advantage of more popping of colour and brightness. Tried Fifa 21, Last of Us 2 and Forza 7 and they look tremendous. For me I found that Standard was the best starting point but natural is great also
Does natural work in game mode?
Thank you so much for your efforts. You helped a lot. We bought a Q70t and a black one in a white fog. Since there is no local dimming on TV, I set the contrast improvement to high. Please tell me is this setting universal for all games? Because Ratchet and Clank, the image appears dark. With love from Russia.
Can j use this settings with 4k hdr films?
Wonder if this will work on my TCL R625? I’ll tinker with the settings. As always quality videos!
Hey man I just bought the Q90t after going back and forth between that and the LG CX. Great video. Really appreciate it. Going to follow along with those settings.
That's so interesting,i believe qled can look like or close to oled by changing picture setting but oled can't look like qled never ever.qled is everything and very smar choise.and about nano its a good panel with a good contrast against oled with very good price.
Hi Tech Giant , good setting please again.. compare with hdmi black level to low vs auto mode and game mode
This was very interesting. Can you make a LG Nanocell look like a LG CX Oled as well?
This video has put a spanner in the works I was going to go for a oled tv, now I’m back to square one 🤣🤣🤣
To go even further with this...
Did you change the Gamma at all?
Because I found that changing the Gamma to 1.8 on my LCD TV gave a similar "pop" of contrast that OLED delivers after dropping the brightness.
Which TV do you have and the gamma settings on my TV is greyed out sometimes.
@@lewisevander
I have a 43 inch TCL. The S425 model, to be exact.
After further tweaking, I found that the perfect settings to match OLED black levels were with 2.4 Gamma and Brightness set to 49.
I kept the Contrast at 100 to push the brightest image possible.
@@officialcreatordestroy thanks I have a Samsung frame TV but gamma option is greyed out in natural mode. Will try it on the movie mode. The problem is it's not always possible to change the gamma as it gets greyed on in certain content like hdr.
Natural mode has a lot less blooming on my tv q80t
Brilliant, I will try them on my Q70 and hope it is the same. Can you not set them with Game Mode ON?
Next review please LG OLED ZX 8K..
If only 😄
Would you please make a video of Q90R HDR settings because it seems bit dull on my Q90R Specially watching Mandalorian on Disney+
ordered samsung q85t I think I need to apply this setting asap
Just got the saucy 65 inch Q70t son! Better picture then that Q80t you demo for us, its hot 🔥
No it isn’t, q80t way better
Does this also apply to the new Q70A??
What a great cheat code from The Tech Giant!
I have the 80t and will try these settings. I appreciate it
I just got the q80t have you tried them whats your thoughts on the tv does your sky q look good if you have sky
I cant get brightness down to -2 on my q80t. Any tips on settings guys?
Hii mate, does it make my q80T looks good like an OLED
No, because it's not an OLED. But you might like the picture better this way. Have a go. You can always go back if you don't like.
@@Mietas2 Hi mate, hope you're well! 😀
yeah you're right. I was being daft here!
anyway what you said is right, it did improve the picture quality with the calibration
@@assasinssab2011 Thanks, I'm good 😎 It's all about personal preference. I used to have some smoothing on, but started to notice artifacts whilst streaming. Blamed the stream at first, but then turned judder reduction off and picture is pristine now. I always take some ready made settings and then tweak the bit it don't like.
Wow... Thanks!!! Thats great information!!!
Did you burned the OLED while doing the demo? LOL , great video mate cheers!
Can you try on your q80t ? I have a q90t and don't have the exact settings as your q90r. I'm assuming the q80t will have similar settings
Unfortunately the Q80T has gone back now as it was just on loan,good news is that I have many more Samsung to come to the channel 🙂
Lg cx is a beast but 77 Inch is to small for my livingroom
I’ll have a go at these settings on my new 2020 65” Samsung ‘the frame’ 👍. Love your videos 😉
What made you go with the frame model?
Nice TV,I will be testing one out in a few weeks time 🙂
Wavy Kay I wanted the Q90 series but nobody had one in stock, currys couldn’t get one but after going through the specs of this tv, and getting £200 off seemed a good deal 👍
The Tech Giant I’m sure if you apply the same settings to it ( like in this video) then it’ll be the same as oled. I was considering an oled for the brilliant picture quality but I was really worried about screen burn and the fact the manufacturer won’t do anything about it if it did. This tv has a 10 year anti ‘screen burn’ warranty. I know qled doesn’t get screen burn 👍. I know that flat panel TVs don’t have amazing sound so I’ve connected from the one box optical out to a dac, then I’ve ran a phono cable to my right phono input to my b&w subwoofer. Fantastic bass now while watching regular tv 👏👍. Obviously the subwoofer is connected to my av receiver ( left input) too 😉. Can’t wait to see your video on this tv ‘the frame’. You can keep it on all day as a picture if you want. Just press quickly the power button. The two gripes I have with it so far are,,,,, it’s sometimes quite laggy through the input choices, I’ll try to scroll to say UA-cam, it’ll not scroll then all of a sudden it scrolls, the other is at the top right of screen, I’ll quite often get pop up menus like connect to smart device or Ethernet issues 🤷♂️. Otherwise it’s a fantastic picture 👍
Cool color temp ewwwww!!!
Is it true that the Samsung Q80t has a light leak or is it a defect? I wanted to buy a new TV for the new generation (PS5)
Can you do another calibration video for newer qled TV,, T models 2020 and A models 2021
Your settings worked great for me on my 65" Q82r. Noticeable improvement!
Natural mode looks great!
Tech Giant always makes fun videos !! I cant wait for the New tvs to be reviewed 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would this work for Q60? Thinking how about keeping the mode to Natural warm as opposed to Natural cool. I find cool really uncool to my eyes. 😊. Love the way you actually got both the TV sets looking almost identical.
All I would say is to give it a go,you've got nothing to loose and many have had success on other models.🙂
