Btw. While watching shows on netflix and prime even for 4khdr ones i notice a lot of screen tearing and trailing when any character is doing some rapid movement. Like the rest of the scene is alright but like somebody does a rapid hand movement only that hand would feel like it is trailing or tearing on the screen. This is due to streaming or there must be some setting?

 

In settings, search for picture clarity settings. Select custom and then under that, set the judder reduction to max, LED clear motion off and I think even noise reduction off.

This helped me alot in reducing that tearing effect while watching sports and has improved the quality alot overall.

Picture quality settings were off. Led clear motion was off and noise reduction was off as well. I put judder to 10 from 0 and turned on clarity and noise reduction on auto.

One of the best things about Samsung TVs. Highly underrated. 
Totally worth the extra premium for the convenience it offers. 
 

I almost used sprain my neck trying to juggle with hdmi ports on my old tv that’s wall mounted. 

I hope that thin wire is sturdy enough.

Sturdy enough, unless someone cuts it with scissors

Not sure who created this hoopla of thin wire being fragile. Yes it is thin but its not like you are gonna need it to hang the one connect box itself lol

Exactly. Unnecessary hue and cry and overthinking

Lots of negative PR about the One Connect and the cable by reviewers. 

 

They solved one of the big  annoyances of TV connectivity, I feel it never got enough credit.
Maybe they need to advertise it better. 

But Samsung is now slowly discontinuing One Connect, which is sad.

Well, the One Connect cable costs 300 USD. So...I will take the cheaper individual cables.

Does Samsung now charge for One Connect cable??? 

[Aercy]

Well, I read review by a customer who mentioned even the installation guy was afraid that he will tear the thing and asked the customer to be careful about that. And read a few comments how a few people suggest taping the whole thing to keep it out of the harms way.

I think he meant replacement cost

Replacement. If it snaps. And IIRC, it's an optical cable, so you gotta be careful. As long as no one touches it post installation, you're fine. 

As much as it is a great idea, the cable and box add another layer of failure in the system.

Guys looking into buying the C1 48 inch for my master bedroom what do you think is a good price for it? It's going for 1.05L on flipkart right now. Croma at max was willing to go for 1.05-1.1 for that model with card discounts.

You should be able to get it for around 90-95k after cashback/discounts. Never buy an OLED online if you are looking for a good deal - visit your local Croma/RD/Vijay Sales etc. Also, if the C1 is meant for movies etc. then viewing distance should not be more than 4-5 feet. If it is more then go for a 55 inch model. I have a 48inch CX which I got for 85k after cashback/discounts and also got some goodies. My use case is just for videocalls/work and gaming on the PS5 - the viewing distance is only 3-4 feet so it is perfect. But I do prefer movies etc on my other 55inch TV over this.

Thanks viewing distance is about 6 feet. Don't have more space for a bigger TV. Will try to adjust the viewing distance when watching something with Dolby vision but for everyday viewing I think 6 feet should be fine I hope. Will have to go out there and haggle for the 90k price it seems.

Did it help though?

Yesterday I tried watching the Ind vs Pak game on hotstar and could still see the triple ball effect and was kind of choppy. However, watching footy on Sonyliv seemed fine. Not sure if its the issue with the app or what

Which TV is this? I was watching the same Match on Hotstar on my Samsung Frame 2021, it was fine. I think i was watching on Filmmaker Mode , not sure though, will have to double check.

I was watching on the Q60T. Any other settings which you enabled/disabled?

Poor discount, with discounts i was quoted 89k, but upon seeing it i felt like going for 55 as the TV is so sleek you sometimes are left feeling is it smaller than it should be, totally good though for space.

i bought a Samsung QLED (49 inch, Curved) along with the One X when it released. Did not have to worry about the One Connect box or the cable till now. Like someone mentioned, it’s a huge comfort than trying to search for the ports behind the TV.
