TechRadar says HLG and HDR10+ were awaiting firmware at review time. Samsung later confirmed HDR10+ on its 2017 UHD TV range through Prime Video; support from other sources is not established here.

Colour range
Colour range	Dynamic QNED Color Pro, certified for 100% colour volume	Samsung's 2017 QLED launch claimed 100% colour volume. Les Numériques measured strong colour on its exact European 65-inch unit but found its Cinema-mode colour error above its preferred threshold; neither figure is assigned to other sizes.

PQI is Samsung's processing score, not native panel Hz.
Picture modes
Picture modes	9 modes, including FILMMAKER MODE	Film Mode, Auto Motion Plus and Contrast Enhancer in the UK maker tables. Les Numériques preferred Cinema mode with reduced dynamic processing on its 65-inch unit.
Motion handling
Motion handling	Motion Pro; Motion Booster 288	Les Numériques finds Auto Motion Plus effective on its 65-inch unit but suggests a custom setting to avoid the video-like interpolation effect. Samsung does not publish native Hz for both sizes in the UK tables, so the main refresh row is omitted.
Viewing angle
Viewing angle	–	Both independent 65-inch reviews find visible loss of contrast and colour off-centre despite Samsung's Q Viewing Angle label.
