Worse local dimming latest firmware 1260

Ever since this new firmware 1260 came out, the local dimming brightness fluctuations have been horrible. Even without subtitles, watching for example Stranger Things on Netflix is really disappointing. With subtitles turned on it's even worse.

I feel this wasn't such a problem in the PREVIOUS firmware. Please fix this Samsung. Or at least give us the option to disable local dimming at last.

My TV is a 55Q7FN.

Hi @spindash

Have you tried adjusting these settings? Have a look at this useful link.

Makes absolutely no difference.

Isn't anyone else thinking the local dimming is much worse in the latest firmware?
