Sound quality of QC35II and XM3: objective tests vs subjective experience mismatch
Most people (like 70% or even more) who have tried out both pairs do prefer the sound quality of XM3 over QC35 while according to Rtings tests Boses sound a way better than Sonys do. Why is that? I don’t think that 70% of people are bassheads or anything like that.

I haven’t seen this issue with mine, perhaps you have a faulty set?

all samsung va panels tv does this, mine q70r does always freesync is on, it’s just noticeable in dark areas of the game, no big deal but it can be pretty annoying, this doesn’t occur in an IPS panel, probably va panels idk about monitors since my gh90 was flickering when freesync on I never use it and I dont have it to test it again, but I really think is a VA panel issue

Hmm interesting as my q9fn does not do this in game mode, out of game mode, or when using free sync.. It’s not the va panel tech per say, there is something else going on as it started happening in the 2019 and nots 2020 sets

I also haven’t seen this issue. I have a 75 inch model if it matters. I posted my ghosting test over in avsforums and now that more users are getting this set the number of no ghosting remarks seems to be increasing. My theory is its either a defect of some sort or a cable issue. I was using a 48gbps cable however the xbox one x port is only 18gbps.

I’m from Hungary. My K7500 what is KS8500 never ghosting. That TV’s motion handling was better than this tv. On Q90T with game motion plus I see a little ghosting but not that worse what the Q80T doing. That was the reason why I changed to Q90T. But… I think something about the ghosting problem. When the Q80T was here in my room for a month I played a lot. So The Q80T has stronger motion interpolation than the Q90T I mean the picture more fixed. If you put the blur reduction in game motion plus on 10 in the Q80T the picture is strongly fixed what I really like. But with the Q90t you can see more blur with 10 blur reduction until yo using game motion plus. So my opinion is that they made a little worse response time on the Q90T becouse samsung want to hide the ghosting problem. “Finally” you can get more blur with a more expensive TV and lesser ghosting but not with freesync becouse if you using freesync the problem is there ( I know this from YT ). My opinion is that this is a ghosting cosmetic with more blur on the Q90T. I don’t know what about Q90R but on the motion interpolation picture I can’t see ghosting on that TV. Is the Q90R ghosting with game motion plus and without freesync? I think Samsung best TV is the Q90R and every other TV’s are just a little reject. I’m really angry about that what Samsung doing! Expensive TV’s for too much money! I hope Samsung fix these problems becouse in the future I will never buy this kind of tv’s what crush black, blooming with shit local dimming and ghosting. No dolby vision…etc. This TV real price is. 1440$ in 65". Q90R 65" inch real price is 2240$! Samsung stop making worse TV’s than KS7500, Q9FN and give the TV’s for a real price!

Pixel overshoot can be related to actual refresh rate at which panel operates. Overshoot could diminish with higher frequencies (near 100Hz). Game motion plus improves this issue because adding in-beetwen generated frames increase panel’s refresh rate.

I noticed the green ghosting on my q70R in darker scenes when I have VRR on with my Xbox X. It bugged me so I turned it off. Guess I’m not the only person with this problem

It looks like the latest firmware removes this issue, update and try it out!

figured i’d update, new software update fixed all the ghosting issues. US firmware update, youll have to download from USB.

Freesync and VRR are still broken, at least on EU models. Gamma goes out the window once you enable VRR (in both 60 and 120hz modes). Oranges become red, blacks either get lifted or crushed and it just looks totally different, like someone pushed the gamma from 2.2 to 2.5 (as an example). And there’s no way to get around that. HDTVtest’s Vincent Teoh also showed this issue in his comparison video on YouTube between the X900H, LG CX and Q90T.

Agree. The VRR image quality on this set is quite bad. Whites are less bright, blacks are elevated, and there is black crush. And I think some of the color accuracy is off. Really bad overall in VRR mode. I’ve tried all kinds of settings and nothing will correct it. This has nothing to do with HDMI Black level setting, either, as I’m using YCbCr not RGB.
In comparison, when using the exact same PCs on my Q90R, VRR mode looks excellent (basically identical to regular Game Mode).
I’ve tried both AMD and nVidia cards with the same result in VRR mode. To be clear, non-VRR game mode looks great. I’ve disabled VRR until (hopefully) Samsung fixes this. Given that it looks great on my 2019 set, I hope it’s fixable.

Non-VRR Game-mode looks great? The game-mode itself looks horrible. I have never seen so much blooming. I tested the 65Q90T yesterday for six hours. In comparison to my 65C9 the Q90T game-mode picture quality is sooo much worse.

Maybe we have different settings, or variance in sets? I use Game Mode all day for productivity and play games and don’t have any issues with blooming.
