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

I made a post about the scrolling lines on Game Mode when Game Mode Plus is off:
Please post in it for more visibility!

Think it is 7 days from when it goes live on the website, to when the TV finds it and auto updates, HGIG is cool like, subtle but really good.

😂😂🤣🤣 Someone does not have a clue lol. You should educate yourself. You are clueless. Enjoy your blue saturated picture. Nice troll, either that or you are just another noob when it comes to picture settings.

Enjoy your 20 year old Samsung Movie mode preset, instead of using a brand new 2020 picture mode that is actually owned by a outside company (UHD Alliance), true image man, just tweek it how you see fit but use it as the base setting is my point, Movie mode was the best preset, but give it a few month and see that change.

I have a new 65” Q90T and the brightness setting is not working. Everything else is adjustable but the brightness from 0 to 50 gives the exactly same picture. It’s not bad but I would like to be a little lower. Is there anyone else that have similar issue? Screen brightness is stuck at a specific level.

Sorry bro but he's right, yours settings is terrible...

Yeah 50 on a Q90T will fry your eyes man, you havent got the Eco setting on Minimum brightness 50 have you?
