I had the opportunity to learn more about and see the insides of one these: http://www.samsung.com/uk/tvs/qled-tv/highlights/ at one of the Samsung factories the other week. (The whole factory visit was genuinely a fascinating experience.) I spent much of the time feeling wowed – but then again I still vividly remember CRT tellies and that noise they made when they were turned on...
Anyone else seen one of the 2018 QLED’s in person? And any thoughts on features like Ambient Mode, the Near-Invisible cable, One Remote Control , SmartThings connectivity etc?
I got my Q9F today and I must say that I'm very happy with it. Took some time for me to calibrate it to my tastes but the looks right now are very much perfect 
In terms of quality the only complaint I have right now is that 1080p content is too fuzzy (And upscaling can result into artifacts). But with some fine tuning everything is very much reasonable now, especially with such a big screen 
It also looks like the screen allows notifications from Google & Samsung accounts - but not from Exchange Activesync. Which is a shame 😞
Also, I kinda managed to butcher ambient mode. Just see for yourself :')
I dare to bet that most people have just a wall around it but of course I managed to break it (Its worse with the door open 
), breaking things is my speciality ^-^
But yeah, I like it!
This is a photo of my set-up.
Disappointed that I don’t have that latest upgrade......... a door 😀😀😀😀😀

If you haven't seen it, watch the movie "The adjustment bureau". If your doors work like that then I definitely want your setup instructions 
I must say, I don't really have an issue with that on my Q9F. It is however visible in some extreme cases (A very bright logo with a pure black background for example). But it isn't enough to distract from the overal quality of the screen. I guess its the downside of the technique that is used which also has its own benefits *shrugs*
It might be more visible for the Q7F considering it has fewer "Zones" than the Q9F (More = Better). There is of course still room for improvement but it is pretty darn impressive for a LCD TV and in my opinion I don't exactly consider it an issue for my TV.
I guess that OLED does it better, but that has its own downsides (Good ol' burn in for example ).

Just noticed the AirPlay option on my Q9FN.. how long has that been there?!

Video of Screen Mirroring option, which will be useful for Google Photos, which doesn't support AirPlay on iOS.
