My Samsung Q70 82" looks great from across the room, but the picture has always looked fuzzy when viewed up close like a few feet from the TV.
It's been always looked that way, ever since I bought it years ago and went through various picture settings. I didn't worry about it as it looked good from my sofa.
However, I was at a friend's house a few nights ago and took a close up look his 65" OLED, and the picture was just as sharp close up.
I realize his OLED is newer technology than my QLED, but I can't help but think mine should be sharper up close.

Am I missing something in the settings, I tried hooking it up wired to the router, but nothing improved. Is this normal with TVs except OLED ?

Can you feed it a 4K signal from YouTube? Something like 2160p60. Your internet will need to be able to provide about 25mbps. My broadcast 1080 tv signal is clear from where I sit, but fuzzy up close (because the tv is upconverting). YouTube is stunning far away and up close. Try and find one of those 4K - 16K demo videos.

My 65" LG G4 was fuzzy until I played this for a couple of hours. Then I had to do something LG calls a hard reset.
