Does anybody own an AU7000 model?

Example: https://www.takealot.com/samsung-65-au7000-uhd-crystal-processor-4k-smart-tv/PLID72799187

Does the Samsung TV Plus service work in SA?

I think Samsung should give up on HDR10+, Dolby Vision is kicking their butts.

It is not like you will be getting any HDR from an entry level tv either way. No one is buying an AU7000 for HDR.

Nothing good about that either, It is the exact same TV as the Au7000 just with quantum dot colours and a heavily inflated price tag.

It's just a R1k extra. Better interface, internal battery for the remote which has a USB port. better display, and it comes with a free soundbar.

The Soundbar isnt free. This TV is on sale for R12999 at other places like Makro and Expert Stores currently while the link for the Samsung site has it as R15999. R3k difference, it doesnt seem "free"

My current TV barely has any, this would still represent an upgrade. And yes, I know about nits and such. I won't be getting a new TV anytime soon though.

I'm not one of those folks who forgets to Google stuff just so you know. When I made the original version of this thread, this article wasn't around.

It's not dying, it doesn't require a license so people will use it, plus most TVs that do Dolby Vision can use HDR10+ as well. Just when it comes to which is better Dolby Vision is still better.

They still need Netflix to come on board otherwise it will remain a niche feature. Getting beaten by the paid for option when you're free is humbling. This article was eye opening:

Well DV is more of a bang to the eyes vs hdr10+ so it does pop more giving a "better" look

This was something I wasn't aware of that stood out from the article:

The argument for HDR10+ is that it is less prescriptive in dictating what the image should look like, giving the display more leeway in producing an image that suits its processing capabilities. But that makes it more of a TV technology than one that preserves the intent of the creator, and is likely why more content is in Dolby Vision, whether streaming or physical media, given it is the de facto mastering standard.

It's like saying HDR10+ takes itself a bit too seriously and is turning creators off.

Yup, but honestly that is what Dolby does for things, they generally do go more bombastic, hence why you hear more about them than even DTS.
