I'm trying to decide between the TCL 55" and the 49" Samsung Q6F.
Does anyone have any experience with the Samsung?

So does everyone have banding issues with this tv? I'm thinking of getting it, but don't really want to take the gamble.
HDR on windows is not great right now. Windows can't automatically switch from HDR to SDR like consoles can so you have to manually switch to HDR when playing or watching HDR content and then turn it off for SDR content. Witcher 3 doesn't have HDR on PC so when it is enabled windows just tries to tone map it and it looks washed out and bad. Having it off is recommended for most games, it only works for games that are HDR capable like Destiny 2 or Mass Effect: Andromeda. If a game that has HDR looks washed out, usually switching inputs and then switching back fixes it or sometimes you have to enable it in game and then close and relaunch the game. It's pretty frustrating.What settings are people using with their PCs? In order to use HDR, I've got to go into the Nvidia Control Panel and set "Use Nvidia Color Settings" under "Change Resolution." It seems I have to set it to 10bpc for output color depth, and YCbCr422. This automatically enables HDR in Windows Display settings, and games that support HDR seem to offer that option (Hitman, Mass Effect Andromeda).
However, I'm very conflicted. Despite the TV having HDR enabled, I don't think these settings look better. Take Witcher 3 for example (SDR game I know). It looks much worse when Nvidia sets the TV to YCbCr422. I previously had Output color format set to RBG, Output color depth to 8bpc, and Output dynamic range to full. With those previous settings, I find the Witcher 3 much more appealing. There might be some crushed blacks (you can adjust gamme in the game thankfully), but it looks MUCH less washed out!
So, anyone have any thoughts on using HDR with their Windows PC? What are you settings and do you have any tips?

So how are these TVs reviewing for use with PS4 Pro and a Switch?
Isn't that just s color temperature changer?For games as much as I want to use normal or bright HDR, for the best graphics HDR dark is a must to get the correct colors, temperature and not crush blacks and wash out whites.
But when in HDR dark it is beautiful and does not dim the highlights with local dimming on high
On the p605 it was just a temperature change on the 617 even on warm, I notice a completely different color range on top of temperature so it definitely crushes black changes the color tone and brightens the whites into a larger washed-out section.

Yeah mine is in the living area so normal was a must. Dark just did not show off all the colors enenou. I'm sure if it was in a completely dim room it would have on Dark.. Regardless, I am very happy with this set.

I wanted to revisit this because for some reason normal now looks very good on my TV in HDR (with warm) I don't I know if my TV was breaking in and now it looks better or if it was the 11-point white balance adjustments that I matched from rtings.com but for some reason it seems that the normal HDR looks great in games again compared to dark I don't know if it was my Xbox x that was displaying it incorrectly or what the situation was.
Weird
There's an open box excellent-certified one at my Best Buy for about $40 off I wonder if they had banding issues.

Hey Tap, or anyone else who has their x1x set up. I feel a slight bit of lag when moving around in games. Just want to know what settings you have for best gaming experience.
I just played my first game of Pubg on this beauty and won a chicken dinner! No one can hide from me with this beauty of a tv.
Go in and test it. They shouldn't have a problem with you turning it on before purchase.
you can use this https://www.dropbox.com/s/eefvfqfo50wclxy/4K TV Slides.zip?dl=0Is there an easy way to test to see if it has banding issues? Like is there away to make the screen white like in the menus or something, so I can check it in the store?

I run low power for SDR games and game mode ON which means no motion handling, and rtngs.com settings for 11pt white balance in warm temp.
For HDR I use warm normal HDR and same 11 or white settings game mode On Local Dimming back to high.
Tv Brightness to brighter, 100/50/75 for backlight/brightness/contrast
I do not notice any perceived lag and I run a sound bar in HDMI 3 arc with Xbox x in HDMi 1.
Sounds like if you're getting chicken dinner, you should be good on lag lol but if you have game mode off be sure to turn it on and then turn Local Dimming back to high.
Home/settings/system/control other devices cecIs there away to turn it on? Cuz on my old tv my Apple TV could turn off my tv and control the volume, but I can't seem to get it to work on this tv.
You bet , hope it does the trick
yes you can is in the settings under power.Is there anyway to have the tv turn on to an input instead of the home screen? I still use Kinect to turn on my Xbox and I hate that I still have to find the remote to select the input.
Found it. Thanks!
So I bought the P607 from eBay today on account of the discount and I asked in the P thread but it's kinda dead so wanted to ask here if anyone knows the best/cheapest mounts. I've heard viewing angle, especially on the P's, is sort of rough so I was looking for an extending swiveling tilting mount. Not a requirement of a recommendation though. Just looking for options
What's fakespot?There are a ton of quality, cheap options on Amazon. Just make sure to double check the reviews on Fakespot, as some do not have legitimate reviews.
10 bit is what the 6 series supports.What color depth settings should I have for the Xbox One X? It's set to 8-bit by default along with Standard color space. Should I tinker with 10 or 12 but color depth?
TV is gorgeous with the rtings settings, only gripe is that the remote doesn't use IR for volume control so my Playbar can't pick up the signal.
You must have the Amazon version? Because the Best Buy version with the simple remote does use IR for volume controls.
No I have the Best Buy 615. Its an IR remote but from my understanding is that it isn't using IR to transmit the volume controls.
