Viper8 replied to p3r514n on Samsung 85" AU8000 Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV (2021) $1999 Delivered @ Samsung EPP
Uniformity doesn't mean much when the blacks aren't actually black, rather a bright glowing grey.

FYI the blacks are rubbish compared to something like a X90J. Within the family we had AU8000, Q60A and Q70A. The Q70A was better, but...

Generally speaking if it's a 99/100% sRGB / 72% NTSC model they will say so. If it's not, they often won't mention it at all. So it doesn't...

Interesting. Are you on it? If so what's your latency and stability? Always seems to be an issue with FW and satellite services.
