I’ve gotta get immersive to view
We gorged on modern films, classic films, live sport and gaming until the lights went out on massive tuned sets
n Blade stunner
Blade Runner 2049 on Amazon Prime Video is wholly impressive. The opening titles let you know Mini LED means business: blacks are deep and text is bright, with no hint of backlight bleed.
n Sports and prayers
Live football on BT Sport prompts the Samsung to set itself to ‘searing’: white tones are piercing and colours wildly overdriven. A dive into the menus and order is restored, with ace detail and secure motion.
n Shining right
An HDR10+ 4K Blu-ray of The Shining fares equally well. There’s a little more picture noise evident in this vintage content, but in every other respect the news is unambiguously good.
n Demon’s scrolls
As a gaming monitor it’s everything you could realistically hope for, with extremely rapid response times, a good grip of motion and an excellent colour palette. Lighting effects look superb.
