HDR extrasNeo Quantum HDR+; HDR10+ Adaptive and HDR10+ GamingSamsung's QHDR 1500 is a product label, not a measured 1500-nit result. Samsung confirmed HDR10+ on its 2017 UHD range through Prime Video in December 2017; the initial UK maker tables do not specify HDR formats or whether other sources gained HDR10+.
Screen finishGlare FreeMoth Eye anti-reflection treatment in each UK size table.
Colour range–Samsung's March 2017 launch claimed 100% colour volume for the QLED family. AVForums measured 95% DCI-P3 xy on its exact UK 55-inch test; this is a reviewer measurement, not a maker specification for every size.
Picture processing4K AI Upscaling Pro, AI Motion Enhancer Pro, Real Depth Enhancer Pro, Auto HDR Remastering Pro, Color Booster Pro, HDR Brightness Optimizer; Ultimate UHD DimmingSamsung UK lists Auto Motion Plus, Supreme UHD Dimming, Q Viewing Angle and a 3100 Picture Quality Index. The index is a processing score, not the native panel refresh rate. Samsung Spain calls the 55-inch processor Q Engine, while the UK table says quad-core.
Picture modesFilmmaker Mode, EyeComfort Mode; Smart Calibration (Basic/Professional)Film Mode and Auto Motion Plus in each UK maker table. What Hi-Fi? recommends reducing contrast enhancement and sharpening on its 55-inch test unit.
Motion handlingMotion Xcelerator 165HzAVForums identifies a 100 Hz native panel in its UK 55-inch test and finds motion mostly good; What Hi-Fi? finds no ideal processing setting. The UK maker tables do not publish native Hz for all four sizes, so the main refresh row is omitted.
Viewing angleWide Viewing AngleBoth independent UK 55-inch reviews find colour and black levels deteriorate away from the centre despite Samsung's Q Viewing Angle claim.
