          Tell me more? Been looking for a value soundbar for my TV

          • BadGiraffe on 02/01/2021 - 12:31

            @branners: I've bought a few sound bars in the past few months. Had to return them. They just weren't good enough. I'm going to find myself a good 2.1 Logitech speaker set instead.

            If you want a soundbar, please get one with a subwoofer. They sound terribly weak otherwise.

          • Mickice on 02/01/2021 - 12:54

            @branners: They come in two versions, if you just want a Bluetooth sound bar for music or better TV voices go EKO 2.0ch, if you want the whole boom in movies get the 2.1 basically identical. No lcd screen only a light to show the modes. Audio is lush tho, Sound Of Silence by Disturbed on the 2.0 model sounds incredibly deep.

            • belongsinforums on 02/01/2021 - 22:01

              @Mickice: I watch mostly YouTube and find that suddenly it can be way too loud when people shout or there's gunshots or whatever. Does a soundbar fix this problem?

              • Mickice on 03/01/2021 - 02:09

                @belongsinforums: Not really, best way to fix that is sit closer to the speakers with lower volume. What you need is dynamic range compression.

                    @belongsinforums: You have to buy a 5.1 channel home theatre system, then turn up the volume of the centre speaker which is used for dialog. This is the only reliable method I have found. Sometimes I even have to change the dialog volume from movie to movie, sound mastering is often very inconsistant.

          Stands for "Quantum dot" as well. Samsung is not the only member of the QLED Alliance. Do some research before making absolute claims or false accusations.

          Edit: Eko and other cheaper brands likely buy the rejected panels from bigger more premium companies.

        Likely reject Samsung QLED panels. They are runs that did not pass Samsung’s QA dead pixel rate etc and most likely fine. The other difference is the various processors and software each company uses.

      Why the down votes?

      This TV claims to have HDR and 60hz 4K, I thought that HDR was 10 bit colour and that HDMI 2.0 couldn't do 10 bit colour 4K at 60hz?

      I did a bit of a search but it seems now that HDMI 2.1 is out those results have filtered to the top so I had difficulty finding out whether I'm remembering what I've read/heard or not. Can someone more knowledgeable fill me in?

      • systema on 01/01/2021 - 23:25

        HDMI 2.0 supports 4k / UHD at 50/60Hz with 10 bit colour using 4:2:2 chroma subsampling.

        HDMI 2.0 has a bandwidth of 18.0Gbps.

        4K 60 4:4:4 (no HDR) = 17.82Gbps

        4K 30 4:4:4 10b-HDR (no 60fps) = 11.14Gbps

        4K 60 4:2:2 10b-HDR (no 4:4:4) = 17.82Gbps

        4K 60 4:4:4 10b-HDR = 22.28Gbps

              This is what it says on their website:

              Contactless Pick up - Direct to boot NEW <— I assume this is what you had.

              We now offer a free Contactless Direct to boot service for your Pick up orders in over 80 of our stores across Australia. This service is now available at clearly marked external collection zones to our stores.

              When you place a Direct to boot order, you’ll receive instructions on where to collect your order as it varies by store. The specific instructions will be included in the confirmation email you’ll receive when your order is ready to Pick up.

              So what did it say in your confirmation email?

                @smartazz104: The confirmation email only said how to get to the collection zone. Though it was vague, and it was not "clearly marked" as the above text says.

                I also had to click an "I've arrived" button once I had arrived which I did. There was also a sign at the collection zone to ring the doorbell, which I did many times over the 25 minute period I waited in the zone. I also called the store who said they'd send someone down, which never happened.

        This was after driving 30km to get there and driving around the shopping center for 10-15 mins to find the contactless pickup bay that had no signs and was hidden in a loading zone.

          So you drove 30 KM (assuming 45min??) then another 15min, so 1 hour invested in picking up a TV, you couldn't spend another 5 min walking into the store to pick up or get an immediate resolution. Instead, you drove back home and sent emails trying to get a refund?

          How about parking in the lot and walking into the store with your receipt? They would have obliged delivering it straight to your car or you could have carted if to your car itself. Or worst scenario just asked for a refund.

          Drive through pickup fail sometimes, happens at Maccas too. You just don’t give up and drive back home.

          Seems like you made zero effort to resolve the issue real-time instead you drove home and now willing to spend hours writing emails or phoning them to get a refund.

      I bought the TV in this deal via click and collect. Decided to go and pick up the TV well before my allotted pick up time, right after I ordered in fact, to make sure no one bought it before they'd picked it for me.

      The girl at the counter happily put through the pick up for me and had it ready at the loading dock for me to pick up.

      I rang the bell at the loading dock and there was a guy there, he was a bit annoyed that I was at the loading dock so early in the morning, but he carried it to my car for me and helped me put it in.

      Now I'm not sure, have I been scammed? What should I do? Please help.

      • Salmando on 02/01/2021 - 09:17

        But this guy needed contactless.
        And he couldn't get help, because then he would have to be in contact with someone which defeats the point.
        Like he said, better off just accepting your losses.

        • Miss B on 02/01/2021 - 09:24

          I don't doubt they had a shit experience and that Big W should have done better. They don't even have contactless at my store and didn't even during the lockdown in Vic which is BS. But call it what it is. They know it's not a scam, it's really shit customer service. They're entitled to feel angry about it and to get a refund and never shop there again, but calling Big W a scam store makes them look ridiculous

          Edit: They say it's contactless, but you have to get out of your car and go and talk to people, including lining up with others at busy times.

      • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2021 - 09:39

        Yes. Unfortunately, this is an example of the all too common 'pay and get your item scam.' It's such a convincing scam you don't even realise you've been scammed.

        You should cut your losses now and take a sledgehammer to the TV. Better you take a $700 hit now, rather than the potential for more in the future.

      He should have called, asked them to put it in a specific spot he could see, then he drives around the corner until they are completely gone again, then go pick up the TV……

        I have the 65" non-QLED version ($559 Boxing Day '19 - probably my favourite deal from last year) where as my mate has the 65" QLED version ($749 Sep '20). There isn't any difference in picture quality in 4K. The "QLED" makes no difference tbh. And in fact his QLED model has very noticeable corner vignetting compared to mine. The QLED version also has no additional Bass/Treble adjustments (only equaliser) and doesn't sound as good as the non-QLED. The non-QLED speakers are surprisingly decent enough to not need a soundbar.

      Anything I watch (Netflix,YouTube, normal channel stuff 7,9 etc), I watch it through the new Google tv chrome cast thing plugged into the tv and I think the picture quality is great.

      Backlight: 100
      Brightness: 55
      Contrast: 50
      Saturation: 40
      HUE: 0
      Sharpness: 5
      Gamma: Bright
      Colour Temperature: all 0
      Advanced Video
      DNR: Low
      MPEG NR: Low
      Adaptive Luma Control: Off
      There's some auto contrast setting here for the QLED model that I turned off (can't remember the exact name)
      DI Film Mode: Off
      Blue Stretch: Off
      Game Mode: Off
      PC Mode: Off

      For other inputs I have it the same but the saturation turned to 50, sharpness 10 and the noise reduction off

        Those were my settings that I posted :) But I have since turned down the brightness to 50.

          That's right, Cheers.
          I haven't played around with them since really.
          This room isn't too light so backlight is good around 40 overall, still got brightness 55.

          Thank you for posting

          I observe that red colour does not come out as pure red but different shade of red more like a blend of purple / pink. Do have the same issue?

          Did you leave the Color Tuner On or Off ?

          If On, then what were the settings ?

            @utsc:

            Did you leave the Color Tuner On or Off ?

            My one is the non-QLED which doesn't have the Color Tuner setting. My mate's one is the QLED version which I did set up. But yeah Color Tuner was set to On but everything is set to the default 50 anyway.

            Have you set the main saturation level (not the one in Color Tuner) down to 40 (I think default is 50)? If so, then you can try putting it higher to what you like. Otherwise you can delve further into the Color Tuner settings. Probably play around with the Saturation of the Red or Flesh Tone (common issue with these cheaper TVs to have pinkish skin tones).

          Just coming back to these settings, the tv input should remember different settings to HDMI 1 etc?

            @G-rig: Yes, I believe that's how mine has been working
