Picture processingAI Picture Pro, AI HDR Remastering, Brightness Booster; 77″ and 83″ add Hyper Radiant Colour Tech (up to 3.2x peak brightness)The UK 55-inch specification lists Micro Dimming Ultimate, Auto Depth Enhancer and 1000 Clear Motion Rate but says Precision Black local dimming is absent. HDTVTest found that Cinema Black darkens letterbox bars, though some settings shifted the whole picture's brightness.
Picture modesFILMMAKER MODE with Ambient Light Compensation, Creator Original modeMovie mode and ten-point white balance controls allowed very accurate greyscale on the HDTVTest and AVForums 55-inch test sets. Samsung's UK table confirms 2D-to-3D conversion and two included active glasses.
Motion handling–HDTVTest measured 1080 lines of motion resolution with Motion Plus engaged versus 300 without it on its 55-inch unit; these are reviewer measurements, not panel Hz. It also saw occasional motion hiccups after scene cuts and mild 3D film judder.
Viewing angle–HDTVTest found blacks and colours washed out beyond about 40 degrees off-axis on its 55-inch review unit. The curve did not materially improve its viewing angle.
