QLed 2020 (Q80T/Q95T/Q95T/Q90T) : Local Dimming not functional in Game Mode

So, since firmware 1304 (EU) and even after update 1402.6 (EU) and 1460.9 (EU), the local dimming in Game Mode is absolutely terrible.

 

See photos (first one is Movie Mode, second one is Game Mode) to see the effect in SDR

When in HDR, the difference is less drastic, but still very noticeable.

 

Anyone else has this problem? And do anyone know if an update is being done to solve that issue?

So first test with firmware 1403.1 :

  • terrible judder still there in all modes
  • purple ghosting still there outside Game Mode (GMP off)
  • dimming still bad in Game Mode (GMP off), albeit a bit better it seems, but I have to test it at night to be sure
  • haven't tested the scanlines yet...


So it's not a firmware issue, it's my panel... let's contact the seller and see what they can do...

Yes it can, because before update 1304 it worked, and on other TVs like the Q70R of 2019.

I upgraded the TV to 1403.1, and the local dimming in game mode with GMP OFF still doesn't work !! 😤😡😤😡

I know, I was in the same situation. I managed to have my tv taken back by the seller (wasn't easy!). Hopefully they'll just exchange it and the new set will be ok. I'd really like not to have to send it back again...

I used Type:Rider for my original post.

Here are some examples using a test videos on YouTube, with Firmware 1460.9 :

Game Mode HDR (LD High)

Now, taking a photo accentuates the blooming, I know, but when looking at the difference between the 2 modes, you can see that the FALD is not working in Game Mode.

Mine is also manufactured in Egypt which has ***** panels I dunno why they produce their high end tvs there but they all have bad panels ok guessing the panel supplier sucks and differs from the one for europeans or US markets

Well, as far I know, most panels in Europe come from Hungary, in the Middle-East from Egypt and in the US from Mexico. So Samsung is not going the cheaper task force way to produce its high-end tv (which is not surprising, this what every multinational company does), so it will have one major downside : bad quality control. It's on Samsung to fix that though, not on us to accept it as an immutable fact...

I was amazed when i play last of us 2 on q95t firmware version 1112 really Game-mode was better than any effective presets. When the firmware 1302 rolled out Game-mode became worse it looks very poor contrast, blooming, washed-out image ect. No reply from SCAMSUNG now on 1461 its look like an advertisement led board hanging on airports and railway stations without any contrast and local dimming
