Same here.
I'm still in 1169 and it's working like a charm so I'm not updating anytime soon.
I did some quick tests.
It looks like it's to do with the anti-judder setting - the one that makes the screen look smooth like a soap opera When it's on - whether auto or custom - you can see the artifacts in varying severity. You can't see them when it's off.
No other graphics setting to do with quality / blur etc. seems to cause them.
This is in Movie mode using the TV's own Amazon app. I wasn't able to test Game mode.
We need other people to test. We need the same source material.
I used The Grand Tour, episode 11. Use the TV's own Amazon app. Around the 12/13 minute mark an American drives a white Fiat Abarth around a race track. Use that. White car, grey day, dark and wet road. Makes artifacts easy to spot.
There's always been artifacts appearing if you have the automotion set too high,

I think this is something quite different.
First, my anti-judder has always been set on 1. That's the lowest it can be, without being off.
Second, these aren't artifacts in the sense there's a mild pixelation or fuzzing of the image.
It reminded me of a a film where a spaceship enters a planet's atmosphere - and you see a shield form around it, deflecting heat - and the time travel scenes in Back to the Future, where the electricity is sparking in front of the car.
On The Grand Tour there are quite big blocks of colour and pixelation that flash on and off as the car turns round corners. The blocks are the same colour as the car and line up with the car's dimensions.
Thanks, I'll try it out tomorrow. I hope the optical cable i bought will be long enough.

Does anyone have comcast know how to get the screen to be the right size on the screen. When the comcast guy hooked it up (in April) it seemed to fit the screen. Then shortly after it was cutting off a lot of the sides of the screen. I don't watch broadcast tv on it, but my parents do and they don't seem to notice how fucked up it looks.
1180.5 improved everything again for my KS9000, so I didn´t want to change a somewhat running system.
But I am glad I did. This new firmware is an overall improvement for me, it´s like the guy in the video says, I had to turn gamma down and the colours to 50 again, the picture looks really better now, somwhat sharper, black is darker, etc, which is maybe placebo, but I am happy.
Biggest change for me was another small decrease when it comes to the banding. It´s still there on all sources (apart from gaming), but a lot harder to notice. Tested it with Blair Witch and I couldn´t believe, that it´s watchable now.
Good work Samsung.
So you don't have this problem when you turn off Auto Motion Plus? I believe SamsungNow always used it mildly as well, so I guess that could explain it.
Never used it myself. Noticed some pixelation around objects when testing it with Planet Earth II.
If the firmware does in fact reduce some judder without turning on Auto Motion Plus, I'll be happy with it.

It could actually be in the menus on the cable box itself. Not sure if they have X1 or something else. In X1 at least... go to the Options 'gear' > Device Settings > Video Display > and look at your settings there (both Zoom and Video Output Resolution. Perhaps your problem, and hopefully solution, lies there.
I can't remember what the item is in the menu, but I used various combinations of the settings put on auto, both on, one on, one off, set to either 1 or 10, with the LED auto-motion feature activated and with some other menu item on or off.
It's been so long since I watched without the anti-judder set to 1 that I can't remember how bad the TV was originally.
But all this was only in movie mode and only with that episode of the Grand Tour. Whole thing probably took 15 minutes, so it wasn't hugely in-depth. It might happen again in some other context.
Maybe turn it off and see how you like it now. Apparently it's improved on the latest firmware, but can't test myself.
I just put Grand Tour to the test, and the picture is perfect. I have judder reduction set to 2. The Morocco episode, in particular, looks beautiful.
Stupid suggestions, but just in case... Are HDMI black levels mismatched between PC and TV? Is eco mode on and toning the blacklight down by itself?My PC is incredibly dark (Game mode, not PC mode) now, even with 20 backlight. This is unplayable. What is happening?
I still have my PS3 hooked to it, nothing is cut at 720p with that "fit to screen" option on TV set to "on".Does this TV have overscan or something with sources below 1080p? I noticed that the lower in resolution I go, the more I see sides off the screen being cut.
On my Xbox one s upscaled to 4k my hdmi black level is greyed out. I think it's locked to low. I want to use normal any suggestions. In game mode btw.
Make sure HDR is turned off in the Win10 display settings. The current implementation of HDR support in Win10 dims the image no matter the content.My PC is incredibly dark (Game mode, not PC mode) now, even with 20 backlight. This is unplayable. What is happening?
Ive been having similar issues with the standard remote. I switched to the smart remote and it works fine. Could it be your batteries?I'm having this weird issue where my tv won't turn off when I hit power off on the smart remote.
I have to keep unplugging it.
Anyone know if I could get a replacement remote from a 2017 Q Series and have it work on a 2016 KS8000? Or even just a replacement for existing? I can't find them anywhere.
Would the 1201.6 firmware from UK site work on US KS8000?
I am also interested in knowing this.

Is this after the update?Holy shit! On a whim I tested out using DTS over ARC in game mode instead of Dolby Digital, and the audio delay is gone! If there is a delay, it's substantially lower than it is using Dolby Digital.
If you're using Bitstream over ARC in game mode and not getting a delay, are you using DTS or DD?

Holy shit it worked!
Anyone knows if there's a downside to switching to DTS?

It is before the update, the update still isn't available to me.Holy shit it worked!

Can´t recommend the new 1201 update enough for that TV. After some days and new settings the picture looks a lot better. It´s a miracle to me, that a simple firmware can do that to the picture quality (and make it worse too).
PS: I was one of the unfortunate souls who completeley ruined their first set with a recommended LCD cleaning fluid, I received a new set after some weeks and didn´t touch any fluid until today, when my dog decided to lick the screen and the microfibre cloth didn´t do anything.
This time I used the Monster cleaning fluid and it´s perfect for this fragile screen.
How can you even tell there's a difference in picture quality? I sure can't.
Use the buttons on the tv.
Is this some kind of joke? To my knowledge there aren't any.
Also on an unrelated note I have a Canadian model KS8000 from this year. I assume it's the "2016" model. UN65KS8000FXZC. There was only the small smart remote in the box,or was there? Comments here are making me think I threw out another larger remote by accident?
There are physical controls, just in case your remote goes MIA.Is this some kind of joke? To my knowledge there aren't any.
I had no idea this was a thing.There are physical controls, just in case your remote goes MIA.
