HDR extrasNeo Quantum HDR+; HDR10+ Adaptive and HDR10+ GamingSamsung's QHDR 2000 is a product label, not a measured 2000-nit result. AVForums measured 1,833 nits in Movie mode on a 10% window on its UK 65-inch test unit; this is not assigned to the other sizes. Dolby Vision is unsupported.
Screen finishGlare FreeUltra Black Elite Moth Eye anti-reflection treatment in all three UK maker tables.
Colour range–Samsung's Q Color and billion colours appear in all three UK maker tables. AVForums measured 95% DCI-P3 xy on its 65-inch unit, short of Samsung's 100% colour-volume claim; that measurement is not assigned to other sizes.
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's Q Engine, Q Contrast Elite, Supreme UHD Dimming, Auto Motion Plus and 3700 Picture Quality Index appear in each UK maker table. PQI is a processing score, not native refresh rate.
Picture modesFilmmaker Mode, EyeComfort Mode; Smart Calibration (Basic/Professional)Film Mode, Natural Mode, Auto Motion Plus and Contrast Enhancer in each UK maker table. AVForums found the 65-inch Movie mode accurate without extensive calibration.
Motion handlingMotion Xcelerator 165HzAVForums finds good 24p, 50p and 60p motion on its 65-inch test and suggests disabling the default Auto Motion Plus interpolation if the soap-opera effect is distracting. Samsung's UK tables do not state native Hz across sizes.
Viewing angleWide Viewing AngleBoth independent 65-inch reviews note reduced contrast and colour off-axis compared with OLED despite Samsung's Q Viewing Angle feature.

HDMI detail4K 165Hz on HDMI 1/2/3/4; eARC; Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)Four HDMI 2.0 inputs on the 65-inch review unit accept up to 4K 60p, HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG (AVForums). Samsung's UK maker tables list four HDMI ports and ARC for every size. No 4K 120 Hz or eARC capability is claimed.
Input lag–AVForums measured 21 ms at 1080p and 4K SDR and 22 ms at HDR on its UK 65-inch unit in Game Mode; about 80 ms without it. These are reviewer measurements for that size.
Game featuresGame Motion Plus, Dynamic Black EQ, Super Ultra Wide Game View, Mini Map Zoom, Surround Sound, HGiG, AI Auto Game ModeSamsung's UK maker tables list Auto Game mode and Game Motion Plus. AVForums confirmed automatic Game Mode detection with a PS4 Pro on its 65-inch unit. At review time, VRR was planned in a firmware update, not yet available; VRR is therefore not listed as a confirmed feature here.
