A:AnswerHi,
Any newer high speed HDMI cable should work. There are many, many different manufacturers of these cables, so just go to your local electronics store to find which one that will fit yoir budget.
A:AnswerIt upconverts everything to a 4K image and from someone who used to own a blu-ray player you really won’t notice much of a difference unless you are one that pays really close attention to detail. The blacks will look a lot better and shadows are more detailed.
A:AnswerI do believe that this set is 10-bit color and HDR10. Samsung hasn't bought into the Dolby Vision system yet, but this is suppose to be roughly the same.
A:AnswerMy purchasing decision was between this tv and the X900E as well. I now own this tv and don't have any experience with the Sony X900E. I can tell you that based on my experience with this tv that 1080P content upscales very well, and 720P not quite as well. This is based on my viewing of OTA broadcasts. I finally chose the Q7F based on my previous experience with Samsung tv's.
A:AnswerIn general, LED (and by extension, QLED which is just a fancy branding on an LED tv) does not suffer from the same burn in tendencies that OLED tvs do. This is not to say that it can not happen, but it does not happen anywhere near as easily.
A:Answerone if the 'full retail' price while the other is likely the current sale price. Someone probably just forgot to replace the full price tag marker.
A:AnswerMake sure the threads are really stripped. Mine appeared at first to be. I decided to keep turning the screws though and they all tightened fine.
A:AnswerThe No gap wall mount is only included with the Q9 for free but can be purchased for any of the other Q series tvs for $150 from Best Buy Home Theater sales associates.
A:AnswerDirectv Now is an application. It is not built into this tv and is not available to install internally on this tv. You will need an external streaming device with the Directv Now app installed on that device to stream Directv Now on this tv. Same goes for Playstation Vue (which I use and like very much) and many other apps. This tv is capable of displaying the content of many apps, but only through the use of the external streaming players. Check the list of apps that are internal to the tv and consider an external streaming device for those apps not supported by the tv itself.
