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

the worst thing you can do on an oled is gaming. no tv is perfect, the cx also has its problems. google yourself. wish you good luck with the choice you make. And for myself if all games are 4k 60fps on the nextgen i'll be very happy.

I agree bro I have Q95t and it’s a garbage tv!

Most current TVs don't really do VRR in 4k at 120Hz. Only 2 or 3 OLED TVs manage it. However, there was a YT video showing a Samsung QLED doing 4k at 120Hz so... see the chart on this page https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/motion/variable-refresh-rate

it's crazy, we are still waiting for this update... never samsung again 😠

There must be an EU Samsung director who actually owns their own brand products. Surely they are as fed up as us with all the bugs and slow firmware. I'm not even sure why they don't have one centralised firmware team. Seems ridiculous. For a brand this big its appalling.

Possible to ban ip av2020 ? Do your job moderators...

Ok bro, great intervention

The next-gen games will barely run in NATIVE 4K at 60fps imagine 120 😂 for me if it's 60fps in 1800p without ray-tracing it's already good for consoles

Are you suggesting this message isn't genuine? Don't be so cynical! The world would be a much better place if only we trusted each other a bit more.
Anyway, I must dash. I've just found out I'm related to a recently deceased Nigerian prince and, quite unexpectedly, I've inherited millions. I need to send my bank details to his officials so they can send me the money.
