Ethernet is excluded, however, so you’ll need to use Wi-Fi instead. (The charger allows up to 100W in, but supplies 85W.) An HDMI port allows for 4K/30Hz video or 1080p/60Hz video to a single external display, standard for the category. There’s also a 5Gbps USB-C connection for data, plus a second USB-C port for power input at up to 85W rated. Overall, Anker’s hub is well designed, with adequate spacing between the two 5Gbps USB-A ports. Anker’s hub was among the coolest we’ve tested under load, at about 87 degrees. It’s also a bit more expensive than its rivals. Anker’s 7-in-1 USB-C hub feels surprisingly weighty (3.5 ounces), with a premium metallic (aluminum and polycarbonate) sheen. 8.Can a USB-C hub feel elegant? This one does. Also, the extra lag introduced by the Motion Plus system isn’t actually all that much, even on the feature’s highest setting. We’ve found that reducing the effect of the low frame rates even a little can really help to make gaming more immersive on 8K screens like this one, where issues like judder or motion blur can be particularly distracting given the sharpness and precision on show elsewhere. Adventure, strategy or RPG games, for instance. Motion Plus can be worth experimenting with, though, with games that feature relatively low or inconsistent frame rates and which don’t depend on split second reflexes. Especially when those games are likely running at high frame rates these days. This feature should be left off for total reaction-time games like Call Of Duty. Samsung provides multiple Motion Plus strengths, enabling you to call in increasing amounts of motion smoothing processing at the expense of higher levels of input lag (the time the screen takes to render game graphics received at its inputs). The one feature you might want to play with, though, is the Motion Plus system. So there’s no need to play around with most of the optional gaming features the TV provides, such as genre presets or the system for elevating the brightness of dark areas. Use the Smart Calibration featureįor the most part, the 75QN900C does a good job of automatically optimising picture settings for game sources. They do so at the expense of some color punch and black level depth, though, which is why we suggest taking the trouble to switch between settings to suit different titles to ensure you keep getting the best all-round images from your expensive new TV rather than just sticking with the ‘safe’ Movie and Filmmaker Mode presets. These settings even the backlighting out more, and calm the color saturation. Should you notice either of these issues happening with a particular film or TV show, you might want to switch to the TV’s Movie or Filmmaker Mode presets instead. With some aggressively mastered HDR titles, though, scenes containing a particularly strident mix of light and dark content can cause a bit of backlight blooming, while some very heavily saturated high-brightness HDR scenes can push colors, especially red tones, into looking rather forced and unnatural. It just makes stronger use of the TV’s color, brightness and contrast potential. Be prepared to change presets for different filmsįor many users, and with most content, the 75QN900C’s Standard preset gives the most all-round satisfying results. We’d also recommend that LED Clear Motion is left off, and that noise reduction is turned off for at least 4K and good HD sources (though it can be helpful with some relatively rough sources, such as typical YouTube streams). That takes the edge off the judder without creating the ‘soap opera effect’ or throwing up anywhere near as many unwanted processing side effects. You should either just turn the Picture Clarity feature off entirely, or better (given that there can be slight hardware-related judder with the feature off that the clarity of 8K TVs can make particularly obvious) choose a Custom mode and set the blur and judder reduction elements to either their three or four strength level. Motion with these sources looks so over-smooth that films start to look like cheap soap operas, and the processing tends to generate distracting unwanted side effects such as twitching and smeary halos around moving objects. The attempt by this setting to bring together noise reduction and motion processing elements isn’t a bad idea on paper, but its default approach is really unhelpful, especially with 24 frames a second movie playback. Considering how clever the 75QN900C is in most ways, it’s really quite strange how poor its default Auto Picture Clarity setting is.
