I've never noticed this with mine. How often does the line appear? Are your consoles plugged directly into the OneConnect box or are they going through a receiver or splitter?
It shouldn't be marked, AR coatings are essentially baked on.
Get some kind of optical cleaner to get any grease off, ZEISS make some great lens/screen wipes that will do the trick and are designed to be safe for anti reflective coatings.
Yeah, I'm curious if anyone has a solution that they know for sure is safe to use. I do have a mark on the screen from the factory that is possibly a fingerprint. Can't tell if it's on or under the screen. No amount of wiping with water and microfiber would remove it, and I've heard a lot of bad stories of people using cleaners that ruin the coating on this panel.
Other than that, I only touch the screen with the included microfiber cloth to swipe the dust off. The coating on this panel is notoriously delicate.

What is the most ideal way to deal with the random black outs when using a console? As in, the screen would go black for a second or two then come back.

A factory reset worked for me.

That easy? Huh, I'll have to try it out then. I know I've read around telling people to switch ports as well.

think there might be a setting that makes part of your screen black out in certain scenes of a movie.
look for it in picture settings.

Wire to the HDMI splitter that connects to the TV or do you mean the HDMI cable from the splitter to the PS4?
Other 4K option? I'm at work right now and not in front of my system. Sorry if I'm not sure what you mean.

2160p - RGB is the one i was using but kept going black for a second every now and again.
the other one is 2160p - YUV42 something or other. That's the one ive used for about 10 months now and had no problems.
not sure if i lose quality or anything but seems fine.
Thanks, bud!

Thanks, I'll try that out when I get home.
I got me a KS9000 a couple of months ago and adjusted some of the settings based on posts made here. But some games like Destiny 2 seem off.
Anyone got a link or something for my lazy ass to copy? I want it to be adjusted to 4K gaming, dont really care if its not ideal for tv or blu-ray. Thanks!

I have both ps4 pro and xbox one S connected to it, Xbox never gave me a black screen once. On ps4, it happens. Its either a ps4 problem, or a HDMI wire problem from the ps4 to the splitter. If it wasnt, my xbox would do it too and it doesnt.
It shouldn't be that delicate. Unless you friend is one of those people who melt controllers with their hands or has Alien blood, it is super unlikely to have caused damage.
Sudden changes of temperature and heat are the enemies of an AR coating, a PH neutral solution should be perfectly safe. But there are solutions and wipes designed specifically to clean them for optical surfaces such as Microscope and camera lenses.
I use such a solution to clean mine.

QLED is Oct 12 then?
I would think it's the entire 2017 line, yeah. Let us know when you get it.

YUV420 doesn't push as much data over the connection and is also compatible with older HDMI cables and standards which is probably why you are no longer having issues. RGB is "technically" better but in actual use/practice probably isn't much of a visible difference.
I've used my Monster cleaning cloth and solution to remove several spots where my dog pressed his wet nose against the screen and there have been no ill-effects. The key is to only use the lightest pressure possible on the screen. I just spray the cloth once or twice and very lightly wipe over the affected spot. This has worked for me.
Is this using the TV's built-in speakers or a secondary receiver/soundbar? If the latter, are you using ARC?
Maybe once every few play sessions, like 1 time in ten hours or so. Really noticeable though, messes with my Smash matches!

I have an issue when I switch from say, Xbox to PS4 inputs. The screen will go black and stay black until I change to TV input and back to PS4.
Very odd.

Even on your xbox? Thats never happened to me on my Xbox One S.

No, it's mainly when going from something to the PS4 input. Not sure if it's the TV having a hard time picking up the PS4 resolution or what.

If you were indeed using YUV before, and not Auto, I recommend switching to Auto instead of RGB. After setting it, you may need to boot a game or reset your PS4 to get the setting to apply properly. I was RGB for a while because setting it to Auto didn't immediately change to the correct settings and I thought it didn't work.
I had problems with not being able to use the TV's Auto color Space and Black levels properly on the PS4's input when I wasn't on Automatic Resolution and RGB Range on the PS4.
VincentMatts

Ok thats what i thought. Seems more like a PS4 issue.
Yeah, I'm curious if this is related to not setting both the PS4 and TV to Auto and there being some kind of handshake problem. Has anyone had this black screen issue with these settings? I've never experienced it, personally.
Starting from boot, Auto on both is correct and works as intended for both SDR and HDR games, and switches between the two properly.

Dr. Zoidberg

Based on what I've read in this thread it seems the PS4 just has HDMI handshaking issues with this TV for some reason. For what it's worth I run all my consoles through an Onkyo receiver and never encounter these problems. I assume this is because the Onkyo handshaking is more compatible with the PS4 Pro and TV than they are with each other.

Yeah, I would do this but my Onkyo box isn't 4K HDR compatible. I need to upgrade.

guys I rented a UHD from vudu thinking I would get HDR,
but after I rented it I find out that HDR is dolby vision only?
Will HDR still work or no?

This always happens to me when I first power on my TV and PC. In the first few seconds, the screen will black out then show my receiver's source selector again. Even though the PC source is selected (PC is connected to my receiver), it doesn't show any signal until I force re-select the PC source. Weird issue, but it only happens on startup. I wonder if it's 4k related since that is what my PC is outputting. My other consoles don't do this, though switching to my standard PS4 makes the receiver's source control overlay appear again the first few seconds in (difference is my screen doesn't black out). It could also be behavior related only to my receiver's OSD plus 4k or 1080p output?

I actually have the same issue since the very first firmware
- I have my PS4 on HDMi1 if that helps anyone find out what the issue is.
Worth mentioning I have a PS4 pro

I also see this issue occasionally. I'll switch to another input and watch a movie or something, and when I switch back to PS4, it either takes a really long time for the image to connect or I have to switch inputs back and forth again. I once had to put my PS4 into sleep mode and turn it back on to get it to work. It's not a huge issue though and I've never experienced blackouts while on the PS4 input.
Sometimes, I can't even turn on the TV unless I do an activity with something connected to it. Like, I'll press the power button on the remote and nothing happens, but if I turn on my PS4, or extend my laptop display to my TV, then try again, it'll turn on no problem. It's a weird issue.

No, Dolby Vision is the one thing the KS8000 doesn't have.
Anyone try Transformers Last Knight 4k on the Samsung? Using the Xbox One S all of my 4k movies have been in HDR and at the correct resolution. Pop this guy in and I know it's a Dolby Vision title which the Samsung doesn't support but it's rocking in 1080p and no HDR. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Would like an answer on this one before I buy this disc myself.
You didn't pop in the bluray by chance
Valid question. No I double checked, even checked the other two just to make sure they didn't mix up the label at the factory during pressing.

Have had no issue at all with the few Dolby Vision titles playing back in HDR10 on the KS8000, including the new TF (which at least looked terrific). Must be something in the user end or some Xbox One S glitch but it shouldn't be doing that (I'm using the Oppo 203 as a player).
Either way, Anything in Dolby Vision should be playing back perfectly in HDR10. The way things are going I certainly wouldn't worry about DV either but that's a whole other can of worms.

Try the disc on another to player somewhere is my only idea. Idk

I know nothing about how this works, but isn't the idea behind the One Connect box that it can be upgraded to give older panels more features? I'd have thought adding compatibility for evolving standards would be the perfect excuse to sell us new hardware. Everyone wins.
Yeah, they've done "Evolution Kits" in the past which were basically updated One Connect boxes for older TVs. They haven't done it in a few years, but I suppose it's possible they'll do it if it makes sense. Would be really cool if they do one for HDMI 2.1 down the road.

So is having the PS4 pro on 2160 RGB an issue? I have this set manually along with limited/low Black levels.
Cause this really fixed a fair bit of the black flickering for me. I'm assuming that 2160 RGB is for all title that aren't HDR and that with HDR titles the PS4 goes into YUV422 (which is what I'm seeing it do).

Correct. No issue with having it set on 2160 RGB. It change automatically to YUV422 when HDR content is played.
