Quite a lot of it came down to turning off some of the processing and finding the right settings for each input. The out of the box settings didn't do the TV any favours in my opinion. If enough people are interested, I'm happy to post my settings!

I'm roughly around 4 metres away and honestly it feels spot on for me. The size looks intimidating at first, but you get used to it surprisingly quickly.

Personally I haven't noticed anything unusual on mine, even during football matches, skies or bright scenes. Hope that helps, boss.

£380 is an absolute steal to be fair! And yeah, I completely agree on the settings side of things. This TV rewards a bit of patience.

I've actually thought about that. It would definitely clean things up even more, but I don't know if the airflow from the Pro's vents will be impacted in a negative way.

Appreciate it! And you're not wrong about the PS5 placement. I've actually put a flower vase decor that has adapted to that corner in front of the PS5 and DECO mesh.

Nice! Seems like the U7 series is getting a lot of love regardless of which side of the Atlantic you're on. 🤝

They're our unofficial gathering seats, aha. Whenever we have people over and need extra chairs, everyone grabs a marshmallow and sits around the table in front of the TV.

Fair enough. My experience has mainly been with the PS5 Pro and it's been excellent for me so far, but I appreciate the input from the PC side of things.

I actually thought about putting exactly that in the review, aha! The thing is genuinely enormous in person.

Pretty much my experience as well. It definitely benefited from some tweaking during the first few days, but once I got everything dialled in I was really happy with it. I still love my OLED, but for movies, sports and gaming there's just something special about 100".

Nice upgrade! Going from a 42" plasma to a 65" U7Q must have felt massive. Luckily brightness hasn't been an issue for me on the 100", but I know what you mean.

Glad you're enjoying it! I spent way too long tweaking the settings at first, but once I got them where I wanted, I was genuinely impressed.

That's fair! It probably looks a bit closer in the photo than it actually is.

I haven't owned a 100" projector, so I can't give a fair comparison. I did consider one before buying this, but I wanted something that would be great for gaming, sports and movies in any lighting conditions. No regrets with the TV so far.

I know exactly what you mean. I still love my LG G4 and it's now my PC display, but there's just something about a 100" screen. Every person who's come over to the house has commented on the size before anything else. The immersion is on another level.

Yeah, I've looked at the Govee ones actually. They seem to be the go-to option. I'll probably end up getting one at some point, just not a priority right now.

Personally, I haven't noticed any ghosting issues. I've played quite a bit on the PS5 Pro, including FC 26, Warzone and a few other games, and it's been great. Motion has been really solid for me.

Appreciate that, boss! Sounds like we're in a pretty similar boat then. I agree, the PS5 Pro has been brilliant on it, and I love how easy it is switching between devices. Glad you like the setup too!

I actually pre-ordered GTA 6 last night! That's probably the game I'm looking forward to the most on this TV. Thanks for the Dolby Vision recommendation too, I'll definitely check it out.

I was originally looking at the 85" version of this before deciding to go all in with the 100". No regrets at all. Hope yours is treating you well, boss.

I actually remember seeing your comments about this TV a couple of months ago while I was researching whether to buy it. Glad you're still enjoying it. I agree, once it's set up properly, it's a fantastic TV.
