I had the opportunity to learn more about and see the insides of one these: http://www.samsung.com/uk/tvs/qled-tv/highlights/ at one of the Samsung factories the other week. (The whole factory visit was genuinely a fascinating experience.) I spent much of the time feeling wowed – but then again I still vividly remember CRT tellies and that noise they made when they were turned on...

 

Anyone else seen one of the 2018 QLED’s in person? And any thoughts on features like Ambient Mode, the Near-Invisible cable, One Remote Control , SmartThings connectivity etc?

The q8fn is edge lit but they have released a baby q8 fald. Link to review below

I do like having to have an option that is other than a dark square shape in the room in the event that you simply need something out of sight     , so Ambient mode is a decent component IMO. The conspicuous drawback being that despite everything it'll utilize some power.

I've had the Q9FN for 2 weeks now, and although it's pretty good, there are some annoying issues with the light levels suddenly plunging between shots, then ramping back up again. Then there are times when the backlight in certain areas of a scene don't seem to know what to do, so they flick between lighter/darker.

It feels like a software issue to me.. like it can't quite decide what to do with the scene.

I'm surprised these things haven't been ironed out at this stage.

I agree, lots of people are having this same issue. I thought I've got rid of it tweaking some settings, but with some HDR contents it is still evident and sometimes even annoying. I am sure this is a software-related issue, but after paying that much, we need to be sure Samsung is seriously addressing the problem planning for a fix asap. Can someone from Samsung please give us feedback on this matter? I am still in my returning time and, without a convincing reply, I am seriously thinking about it since a good OLED is in the very same price range right now.

See below what happens with Q7FN HDR content and subtitles. Terrible.

It's pretty much the same on a Q9FN...

Samsung support got back to me today re. light fluctation issue and said;

 

With regards to your query, please be informed that there is no known issue with this TV model. We can raise it to our product specialist for further investigation 

 So if you do have issues with the subtitles affecting the brightness on other parts of the panel, I suggest you raise this with Samsung Support. They're not reading this forum, so whatever you say here isn't being looked at.

Moim zdaniem QLED to nieporozumienie , a kupiony UE55NU8002 TO KROK W TYŁ  w stosunku do 7002 - ograbiono go z panelu przyłączeniowego i klapki zabezpieczającej .  Na dodatek niby ma PiP (picture in picture) i 2 głowice ale co z tego, skoro nie dano na pilocie odpowiedniego przycisku do jego obsługi - efekt jest taki jak by w samochodzie drążek zmiany biegów włożyć do bagażnika.  Z tego co się orientuję - identycznie jest w QLED .
