Edit: the console and TV are not speaking to each other imho :(

I'm sure there are settings you can check, all these smart TV's nowadays ..

Murphy's law it's something small or overlooked

Also setting the display options to 120hz 4K gives me a black screen - have to hard restart console and revert to 60hz 4K

TV in question does support 120hz/4K in theory (HDMI 2.1) - Samsung QLED Q70T
Also, using the high speed cable incl in the box

Had the same problem with 4K Avatar + Kodi on Samsung TU7000 at 120. Had sound but no video... the next day I wanted to demo the problem to my brother and it worked perfectly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Most of my media is 1080p that doesn't have any problems, so did not think 2 much about it.

Other Hardware: Series S - 8 Port TP Link Gig Switching hub - Cat 5e Cables streaming off a Synology DS218 NAS. <-- no idea if any of that might have been the problem

AFAIK the TU7000 has only a 60hz panel and that's why when you tested it blacked screened, then when you tested the next day it reverted to the 60hz setting and therefore worked. :unsure:

60hz panel yes, but has 120 via Auto motion? When it blanked out I tried Game mode (60) and auto (120) and still got a blank screen. Worked perfectly fine the following day and seeing that its the only 4K@120 video I have, it didn't bother me.... just mentioning it here in case it might help pinpoint the problem.

Speaking of which, how is the TU7000? Is there any noticable ghosting or image doubling during motion? Gonna be upgrading my RU7100 soon cause the tv has this horrible ghosting effect which makes gaming borderline unplayable in motion.

I normally turn it off for games. When watching TV, its fine. Still has Soap opera effect esp on scenes with loads of movement.

If you using it in pure 60hz its a blast.

I always disable the auto motion plus setting so not sure if my specific tv actually has a problem or if it's the brand of tv's but the horrible ghosting appears no matter the setting, it's oddly the worst in game mode and pc mode which has the highest response time which is quite odd. It is somewhat lessened when movie mode is enabled or when backlight is set to full brightness but still remains. If the TU7000 handles this well with game mode then I might just bite the bullet soon.

Samsung RU7100 vs TU7000: Which TV Is Better?

The Samsung RU7100 and the Samsung TU7000 are very similarly performing TVs, since the TU7000 is the 2020 replacement for the RU7100. The TU7000 has a slightly better response time, and its input lag is better outside of Game Mode, so it's marginally better for gaming. The TU7000 also feels a...

Anyone seen any decent Xbox series charging stations? I can only find ones for Xbox One, and it seems the battery cover at the back of the controller is slightly different, hence I dont want to take that chance......?

Xbox One = USB Micro
Xbox Series = USB Type C

So has to be for specified that its for Series Consoles. That said I haven't seen any yet... suspect to early in console's life to get decent & cheap accessories.

Thanks for this info, surprisingly goes very in depth with all the tv info available and the TU7000 does handle image ghosting a little better which is a plus.
 
Thanks, so nothing local then? There is a nice charging station by PowerA that seems to be the most popular and recommended one, but can't find any in SA. Guess I'll wait.....

I have bought the play and charge kit, but would prefer to have a charging station where both controllers can go on to when I don't play. Also nice that the PowerA one has its own power plug, so no need to charge through Xbox, I have noticed when I plug in the controller to charge, the console turns on, is this normal and correct? Would prefer the console to stay off, and just charge the controller......
