8K Q900R. One connect box swapping HDMI 2.1

Have they started shipping the one connect boxes over yet from 2.0 to HDMI 2.1 ?

Cant get anything from the Indian call centre staff not one of them understands what I am asking them.

Absolutley useless for a new customer asking any questions as they do not know the products.

He kept saying on phone 60 frame per minute, then he said running in 60p -- shows you how ill informed they or on products, rang 5 different times and not one can answer my question.

 

does anyone who owns one of the Q900R 8Ktvs could give me an insight into them, has there been any problems, good and bad points?

be as honest as you can.

Also has anyone had the chance to see a 4k tv and an 8tv side by side and if so is the comparison noticable.?

Update:  Just received a new one connect box for my Q900R!  I will connect it soon and will tell about any news, e.g. possible hd+ function. So maybe that’s  the start of a broad rollout 😉

I too have been in touch with Samsung UK and they are coming on Thursday as well to change my one connect box over, also do some software configuration which is why they are visiting and not just sending the box by post.

I contacted Samsung UK customer service yesterday and they said they will get a local company to visit me to swap the box out for free of charge. The local company called me today to say that they haven't received the replacement box yet, but it's on its way! I will confirm once I have it installed.

I also believe some settings needs to be done, to ensure the new One Connect box will work with the screen, as they are not easily swappable (apparently).

Absolutely right the one connect boxes are not straightforward with respect to swapping then over, some settings and firmware updates need to be installed along with the new 2.1 HDMI box.

A company called Martin Dawes are changing my box over this coming Thursday.
