I bought a Q80T a couple of days ago and have noticed a really annoying issue when using the tv with the combination of HDR and game mode.
I'm fairly certain this is a software bug in the TV since I can reproduce this issue with 100% accuracy, and it happens on the dot at the same moment every time. It's basically on a timer.
Basically when the game is displaying a HDR signal and game mode is enabled, exactly after 6 minutes the brightness of the TV suddenly drops by around 20 (50 -> 30). The value of brightness setting doesn't actually change however. Messing with the brightness setting does not restore the brightness to it's original state, but changing the local dimming setting from standard to low and then back to standard does. Switching game mode off and then back on also fixes the issue, but then it happens again EXACTLY after 6 minutes (I've timed this with a stopwatch).
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Or can someone maybe test this on their TV to see if you can reproduce it?
Exact repro steps on how I can reproduce this 100% of the time on the PS4 Pro:
Some other notes: The PS4 has a screensaver that basically dims the screen if it is idle for a while. This is not the cause of this, this happens even when the console is in active use and the brightness can be restored temporarily by changing the local dimming setting like described above. I have not managed to reproduce this issue with game mode off, so it seems to be related to game mode.
Software version: 1304

Wow this is something 😂
Please, for the love of god and your warranty, only install updates when your TV prompts you to do so or they are listed on Samsungs official site. Do not install something, someone received „personally“ from a technician that demands a „donation“. This sounds so absolutely deranged...

The situation was complicated. I installed it, thank God that it didn't give any problem, and from what I could see ... everything that was added and corrected in the US version is present. I don't know where he got the file, sometimes he himself is a samsung employee trying to get some extra money, I don't know. But that the firmware was true that was, I can even record a video if you want.

"1402.1 is us version
1402.7 is eu version
Both are same"
Is this true? I don't remember updating my TV, unless it does it while off?

So why is this reply (eeenpuc) exactly like the reply you sent a little while ago? Very sinila r language used. End of the day, nobody donate money. Wait on the update. End of.
