    Samsung QLED TV "too Smart" to play any content from HDMI inputs

    Hi Ken Thanks again for the advice. That was one of the first things I did to eliminate any possible anomalies. Checked all expert settings on all picture modes for all inputs - all the same. I use the standard and natural modes (dynamic is too bright and movie is too yellow for my taste...

    Samsung QLED TV "too Smart" to play any content from HDMI inputs

    I hear you. They would differ for a number of reasons. Ironically they're all manufactured in our own Port Elizabeth...  Check at the back of your tv.

    Samsung QLED TV "too Smart" to play any content from HDMI inputs

    Personally I think it is because the technicians feed Q7F owners their rubbish. Many tv owners wouldn't contest the techs and would thus just accept the tv as it is. Thus very few complaints on the 'net. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Samsung QLED TV "too Smart" to play any content from HDMI inputs

    Thx 4 the suggestion. Did check it. It's not on 24. I'll make use of the kind offer and test the other one-connect box. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Samsung QLED TV "too Smart" to play any content from HDMI inputs

    Thanks Ken. Just came from back from the tv now after checking all settings and trying suggestions since just after 8pm. No improvement though. Thank you very much indeed for your kind advice. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Samsung QLED TV "too Smart" to play any content from HDMI inputs

    Yes Ron I think that exact part is the bit that was typed in transparent ink. Altogether 4 Samsung shops, another multi franchise and the Samsung Tier 2 technicians told me (and I am desperately trying to be diplomatic) that the Samsung QLED TV is too smart to display anything other than 4k...

    Checked that. All the same across the board.

    Samsung QLED TV "too Smart" to play any content from HDMI inputs

    Hear what you're saying. But why is it streaming brilliantly/flawless low res from 3 streaming sources on a low speed dsl line but it can't track Grut's face in Despicable Me blu ray...? To name but one title. Across 3x different blu ray players, a high end dvd player and PS4? In Moana it can't...

    Samsung QLED TV "too Smart" to play any content from HDMI inputs

    Nope. Alll of the above outlets and techs confirmed that it plays what it gets as it. Hence my point about their BS. Its streams flawlessley on wifi with 1.7mbps stream at 476p but can't properly display 1080p via hdmi. Go to any of their stores and ask them to demo a dvd or blu ray for you.most...

    Samsung QLED TV "too Smart" to play any content from HDMI inputs

    I have now received confirmation from a number of Samsung outlets and Samsung master technicians that Samsung QLED tv's are (verbatim now) too smart and advanced to play back standard Dvd's and multichoice content because (quote: the content resolution is too low).  Image is pixalised and can't...

    That ONE song that swung you into

    Well, we can make it the top 3, but where's the fun in that... ;-) Of course there would be more, but there would be that "one". Where i saw the woofer move out to max space. Where the melody matched my DNA. Where I wanted to listen to it over and over without tiring. When I would wake up the...

    That ONE song that swung you into

    There are so many songs/pieces/areas that swayed us to the wonderful world of really loving music and how it sonically moves you. Mine was a song: "Loverboy" - Billy Ocean. What's yours?

    Best voices in the last 40 years?

    With no intention to break the thread: My voice. In the cold shower. Now in a week long power outage in Pretoria East... :groovy:  :nutter:  :please:

    The death of Blu Ray in South Africa?

    I for one really miss Look & Listen. They had a massive warehouse here in Atterbury road, Pretoria. Not much should be expected from Musica. They stock the usual run of the mill stuff and I'm convinced Clicks and Body Shop are subsidising their cash flow. So, business logic would normally...

    The death of Blu Ray in South Africa?

    Thanks Guys Will divert my purchase channels accordingly.  Just a humble tip: if you can, try not to use Amazon. I know they're amazing but at the same time lost 3 blu ray imports of mine in less than a year. Hence my slight synicism re online purchases. But if all goes well I'll givealot...

    The death of Blu Ray in South Africa?

    Is it just me or are Blu Ray disks becoming scares? Been to the umpteenth Musica (the other cd/dvd/blu ray shops are history, as you'll recall). This one had the full variety compliment of 41 blu ray discs. Which is the most so far... Problem is OLED's and QLED's don't like dvd's. Resolution...
