I just got a price match at John Lewis for the Samsung 75Q950R 8K TV with RGB Direct at £3499 and you get a free phone! I have decided to keep my 65-inch though in the future say 5 years time I will go for a 75-inch though. Code was Winter1000.

No one can compete with Samsung 8K QLED at these prices!

Got the Samsung QE65Q950R just before Christmas. Watching football noticed vertical white lines highlighted by the grass. Same when watching skiing. JL took it back and delivered a new one today. Same problem. Is this common with these 8k TVs?

We got 2 of them and haven’t got any vertical lines.

Thanks gel. Not noticeable with films, normal tv. Just ordered a high quality HDMI cable to see if that makes a difference.

Can you take a picture of what it looks like and post here?

Just watching football here and no lines:

Best I can do using Settings/ Support/ Self Diagnosis/ Start Picture Test.

A bit more info. Contacted Samsung, who using some clever technology, looked at the tv through my phone and agreed that there was a problem. More bands than lines I think

Have a look at my football picture posted above - is that not what yours looks like?

See here:

My picture would be same as yours except when the screen is totally grass. Then you see the vertical bands

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I can’t see anything wrong with my picture

 

[terryjbennett]

Yours looks okay

 

[Deleted member 2457]

Yours looks okay

Sorry yours doesn’t, what are you going to do?

 

[terryjbennett]

A quick google search revealed loads of similar reports in the States. As I wrote, I've ordered a high quality HDMI cable, just in case ... but I'm not optimistic. Otherwise John Lewis will have it back.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I personally don’t think a HDMI cable will make any difference.

 

[terryjbennett]

Me neither!

 

[Deleted member 2457]

Me neither!

What do you make of the TV other than this problem?

 

[terryjbennett]

Brilliant for movies. Black colours are great.Everything, except the banding, is excellent but I mainly watch sport. Glad yours is good and thanks for your input.

It's an older model and reportedly the viewing angles are not as good. I'll wait for a bit and see how things develop. My Sony 4k tv is great

WHF rate it as better than our 8K model viewing angles were improved on this 4K model just like our 8K model. Okay mate good luck to you. Cheers.
