So, of the nigh on 400 TVs supported in BBC iplayer for the Blue Planet II HLG episodes none are from Samsung. Oh joy.

Can't say I've noticed any issues with the hdr mapping, but I haven't got it hooked up to a calibration machine!
The ks7000 I sold my friend has developed a fault,, I think he has picked it up holding the screen. Anyone had similar?

It a problem if you put any pressure on the screen it can be easily damaged. Often looks like cracks in the screen as well.

Hi @shimceltic. If the line still appears aduring a Picture Test, it would be best if an engineer inspected the TV. This link will direct you to the closest Service Centre in your area.

Interesting to note that Widevine DRM has been definitively broken by hackers.

Ok, we aren't getting this - but who's going to start the letter writing campaign?

Oh my goodness! That's fantastic, it does away with needing to buy the very expensive 4k Apple TV box. Dare I break cover and be the first (and probably, only) one here to say that I might even consider buying another Samsung next time. It all depends on how long my JS lasts and what else is out there when I need to buy, of course. Plus, just because they say they'll be bringing it to their 2018 TVs, doesn't neccessarily mean it'll be in any set timeframe. Expect a new thread of 2018 Samsung owners complaining of not having this applied to their TVs and absolute silence from Samsung on this matter in the near future. LOL

Don’t fall for it lol. The same problems will always exist. I have an Apple TV 4K, it’s great and gets updates regularly.
i will never rely on the built in smart hub on my tv to be my main method of accessing smart apps, we have seen the issues with iPlayer on our KS models. You spend so much on the tv, get a proper smart box to go with it, at least Until Samsung can commit and prove themselves with keeping their products up to date
