Best Samsung TVs for noise reduction

#1

Clean HD upscaling earns praise, but low-quality streaming compression and posterization are not always smoothed effectively.

#2

Low-quality video is smoothed reasonably well, with some loss of fine texture as the cost.

#3

Noise handling is restrained rather than aggressive, reducing source flaws without wiping out film grain or fine texture.

#4

Compression blocks are reduced effectively without obvious smoothing away of fine textures.

#5

Compression and low-grade source artifacts are controlled reasonably well, but aggressive smoothing can soften image detail.

#6

Compression blocks and other low-quality artifacts are suppressed effectively. Aggressive cleanup may also erase a little genuine detail.

#7

Artifacts remain after the TV processes low-quality material.

#8

Reduction of compression artifacts softens detail.

#9

Smoothing reduces compression blocks and pixel noise but sometimes erases fine texture.

#10

Compression smoothing removes some macroblocking without stripping much detail, but streaming artifacts can remain visible.

#11

Compression blocks and pixelization remain visible in weaker streams, even if fine detail is often preserved.

#12

Compression problems such as posterization and macroblocking are not removed particularly well.

#13

Poor cleanup of compressed video leaves noticeable blocks and pixelation in low-quality streams.

#14

The TV does relatively little to remove compression artifacts from heavily encoded streaming or cable sources.

#15

Heavy streaming compression and macroblocking remain visible; processing does little to clean up poor sources.

#16

Low-quality streamed and cable video retains blocky artifacts rather than being cleaned up effectively.

#17

Low-bitrate streaming artifacts are not cleaned up particularly well; blockiness and pixelization can remain visible.

#18

Streaming compression blocks and low-quality artifacts largely remain visible rather than being smoothed away.
