Do you have that special setting in the settings set to adjust for things like sport? Worth fiddling in the menu to see if it helps.

Which one? Dont think there is a sport mode.

Only HDR+ and Game mode.

I'll have a look tonight and get back to you - I was flicking through the settings on my KS7000 last night and I'm almost sure there was a setting specifically relating to sports...I'll get back to you.

Edit: AutoMotion Plus sounds right.

So I have recently got a 55 KS7500.

Its been great, looks solid but occasionally when Im watching football I get what looks like slight stuttering, it only occurs about once ever 20 minutes or so and lasts literally 1 second but its annoying me.

Is this a fault with the set? is it a setting I need to change? - True motion is off.

Does it sort of slow down and speed back up?

If you read my thread on my new 49 inch KS7000, i'm having a few similar issues. Watching fast and loud last night and I experienced this type of effect.

Exactly this.

It only happens for about 1 second then returns to normal.

edit: although looking at your eurosport/glitching thread, I dont get this, not like this at all - i get what appears to be a frame delay, sort of lags for a second then returns to normal.

Yeah - The youtube clip is a separate issue i've discovered when watching sport with very high blur rates. Motion processing needs to be completely off to eradicate this.

I first experienced the issue you mentioned last night. Slow down and speed up. I'll try and record and instance of it for comparison when I get in.

From memory, to fix it (or at least improve it) I switched the TV into HDR+ mode (specialist viewing mode) Turned the motion processing to custom, Blur all the way down, Judder all the way down but changed the LED Clear motion to "On". The image won't be as bright, but remains crisp and "freeze" free.

I'm tempted to return mine. I think because it's such a jump in size, you notice imperfections and over-processing so easily and you end up actually looking for them, ruining your viewing experience.

Ill give this a go, but I know what you mean. its such a huge investment and you generally want to be 100% happy.

Im thinking about getting a KS8000 replacement instead of the KS7500. It does only seem to be happening with Virgin, not noticed it all on anything else. We are also moving to sky at the weekend so Ill hold off until then atleast.

I'm inclined to agree with you, however, I also had some artifacts on a Snowboarding Blu Ray if I attempted to use any motion processing. It just doesn't seem to be up to the job on fast paced sports/action documentaries, which is sadly what I mostly use it for.

Planet Earth 2 (Recorded on the TIVO) looks stunning and crisp, even with motion processing, but this is probably due to the fact that there are lots of static or slow moving camerashots as opposed to fast-sweeping pans.

Really impressed with mine, picture quality is fantastic, the smart controller is great too, controls my TiVo box and my xbox one s.

There is a sports mode for me in that sub-menu. Is top of the list. There are a few further options under sport settings mode such as recording highlights to a USB and what not and it tweaks few things like audio and the picture.

MOOGLEYS · 28 Feb 2017 at 17:50

Sport mode on mine.... Never used it...

Yeah,

I'm not knocking the picture quality - it is fantastic. My issue is that i'm finding it hard to get one setting which is suitable for all viewing types.

Captain · 28 Feb 2017 at 18:26

Have you got HDR+ enabled? It makes everything too dark when watching TiVo.

Lights and darks aren't my issue - it's the motion handling.

Tried it both ways - I don't mind the additional dimming.

That's the one I meant yup - on my 49KS7000 at least

I'll try it and see how it goes.

Any tips on cleaning the screen? Got loads of smudges that a microfibre cloth didn't remove.

Thought I post in here, save creating a new thread.

To all new owners of the KS7000, have you been happy with your new TV, has anyone had the back panel issue?

Im almost decided on getting this TV in the 49" size and Im hoping that the back panel issue was isolated to an older batch and everyone with recent orders have been fine?

I can get the TV for £788, which sounds like a good price.

Thank's

Can you be more specific than 'the back panel issue'?

I use the Ecomoist stuff available on Rain forest site. Does the job fine with a small spray and followed up by a microfibre.

I believe he is refereeing to some people who had the rear panel of the model fall off as it was not attached fully.

Not had that issue myself now a few months in, all good.

Just bought some to try out (thank you for the recommendation).

And I had no idea these TVs had the back panel fall off! That's quite significant!

Yes sorry, the back panel separation which some were having.

That's it, hopefully it was only a small batch that was effected. good to hear your not effected.

Thank's
