  • "Brightness fluctuations ruin this TV."
    1.0 stars
    on by noseeb13

    Pros: Looks great when brightness is consistent

    Cons: Brightness fluctuations
    Buzzing

    Summary: Problem has gotten worse over time and no matter what settings I adjust or what type of content I watch (Blu ray, DIRECTV, play video games) dark scenes will sometimes brighten up and then return to normal. Some movies like Super 8 are unwatchable on this set.

    I have been working with Samsung reps and techs for 3 months now and they are very dismissive over the issue saying it is not the TV but ALL the content I am watching. I don't have these issues with my other TVs or looking at the same content on the comparable Panasonic Plasma.

    This is the last Samsung product I will ever buy, shame I had to learn my lesson over an expensive TV.

    I had the same problem. You have to turn off Motion Lighting. Go to MENU > PICTURE > ADVANCED SETTINGS > MOTION LIGHTING. Set Motion Lighting to OFF. Hopefully, this should solve the problem.

    BTW, Motion Lighting lowers power consumption by reducing screen brightness when the picture on the screen is in motion.

    Good luck.
