Samsung 2018 QLED TVs will support 120hz Freesync and VRR
Samsung announced it will release QLED televisions (I am not talking about monitors here) in 2018 that are going to support variable refresh rate technology (VRR) which is possible with HDMI 2.1, as well as FreeSYnc. Samsung announced this at a technology congress in Milan.
The 2018 QLED LCD TV models, as well as the mid-range NU8000, will support refresh rates up to 120 Hz at a Full HD resolution, reports flatpanelshd. next to that, the 2018 Samsung TVs will support two variable refresh rate systems. If you are a PC game, here comes AMD FreeSync. Your PC or compatible console will remain in sync:
FreeSync is one of the systems supported by Samsung’s new TVs, meaning that you can use them as a capable gaming monitor for your PC. Then there are the HDMI 2.1 models, these can support VRR (variable refresh rate), which is the HDMI Organization’s standardized version that pretty much is FreeSync but intended for TVs. Right now Samsung’s 2018 TVs do not feature full HDMI 2.1. These TVs are still based on the HDMI 2.0 interface standard but manufacturers are allowed to cherry-pick certain features from HDMI 2.1 to bring to HDMI 2.0 based TVs.
Samsung also mentions it has further reduced input lag on its 2018 TVs, down to 15.4 ms in the game mode. It is expected to be “less than 7 ms” in VRR mode. In addition, Samsung will implement ‘Fast FRC’ (frame rate compensation), allowing users to use Samsung’s motion compensation system together with a game console for an average of 24ms input lag. Fast FRC is supported by the NU8000 and the 2018 “QLED” LCDs. The Xbox One S and One X will be the first devices to support HDMI VRR. It will be added through a firmware update this year. FreeSync is supported by a range of gaming PCs today.

Just got the new TCL 6 series. It's my first 4K TV and it's just gorgeous.
Thanks. Been checking out as much 4K content as possible. Looks phenomenal, especially Dolby Vision content (might be better than HDR10 in my eyes). Even 1080p content that is upscaled to 4K looks good.
However, standard definition content looks like utter crap on this TV. Complete crap. This means I will definitely watch live sports on my 100" projector and not on this TV.
Does anyone have a dolby atoms set up? I haven't seen much interest or even dedicated threads for audio setups which seems a little weird.
I'm keen to get a basic set up it's still pretty expensive even the cheaper ones but am busting to bring my audio game up to par with the visuals.

I think its been over a month since I mentioned I have a 75 inch Sony 900E and I love it so...

It’s tough for me to watch some HD cable channels on my new tv. Some channels look pretty good while others like AMC look like s***. Most of the sports channels look decent.
I've been getting the itch to get a new TV as I got basically one of the first 4K HDR/DV TV's on the market 2 years ago and I have been looking into getting the 65' 900E...I have been hearing things about its HDR game mode being awful and also very sluggish Android OS
I think everything looks amazing on the tv but yes the OS can be a little slow if jumping around a lot in the apps. Only apps I use personally are Youtube and Netflix. One is used through my Xbox and the other my cable box so I never see any sluggishness.
I bought the Samsung QLED first but I saw banding in sports games and the colors were unrealistically vibrant to the point of looking fake. I returned it and got the 900E and couldnt be happier.

I spoke too soon when I wrote my earlier post. Streaming sports via Fox Sports or NBC Sports was not good but broadcast OTA content actually look fine. Even 1080i OTA content upscales nicely.
Turns out many games have in-game HDR settings you should also adjust. That's insane to me for some reason.
