Q950TS Game Mode VRR/FreeSync issue

[Cahill_239]

Hi All

Just purchased the Q950TS 65 inch model this week.  One problem I'm having is with my Xbox one 

X - with VRR enabled and in game mode, there is a horrendous flickering/screen tearing issue.  See accompanying video.

Turning off VRR on the Xbox removes the issue.  Anyone had an experience with this and know what the cause may be?

Just giving a update on my TV. My QLED 8K 800T model now has screen picture display issues. The TV now only can play sound, while the TV screen is black while watching TV and playing video games, which started on 3/14/21.
 I contacted Samsung who stated they would send out a technician to diagnose and fix the problem. So I waited a few days for a technician to come and unfortunately he and his team came unprepared. He takes the TV apart and tries to replace one part to see if that would be the solution to my problem and of course it was not. He then proceeds to tell me that well it might be one of the flexible cables attached to the part he tried to replace and says that he does not have those parts because his team did not load them in the truck. 

I have had the television less than a year and it having issues that normally don’t come around for a few years after owning it. I am hoping Samsung does the right thing and gives me a brand new television.

Anybody else having similar issues, or still having flickering issues? And do you think with all these issues, should we even consider buying their second generation NEO 8K QLED?

Ouch sorry to hear you’re having such problems man. I’ve definitely not had the level of issues you’ve had.

the VRR issue was fixed on the whole for me, but then I upgraded to the Xbox series x.  it still is a bit temperamental with it, even after the VRR fix they released, it has a few issues with hdr, occasionally the image appearing washed  out until you flick between gameplay and the main menu a couple of times or reset the tv. I’ve since moved house and now am gaming on a smaller 55inch oled cx (due to a smaller room). I do miss the added sharpness and clarity the 8K qled provides, and it does feel like a lot of detail is lost due to black crushing. 

on that basis I would still consider buying the new 8k bro qled

Same here.

But I want to keep my game mode on without the flickering

It's caused by VRR and most Samsung TVs, like other issues that Samsung is not fixing.

Ahh man, i hope you get this, but i laughed so loud when i read this. I know your TV is way more expensive, but i spent on my Q70T a lot considering it was almost my full budget. At least it has 5 years of warranty,m but still in 2022 VRR is as shitty as you guys discuss here it gives my girlfriend headaches whenever i play something on the TV. They didnt fix anything since launch and the next A series has the same exact issue and keep selling as freesync premium.
