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.

Is it possible that the Sharpness setting was turned up way high on his OLED, which caused aliasing at the edges of objects that some people mistake for an extra-sharp image?
