I recently bought a Samsung S95F and I love it, but every few days the shadows and black levels get really crushed and I need to unplug it and plug it back in to fix it. Does anyone know why this issues happens? im not leaving the tv on all the time but like at least once a week I turn it on and as soon as a dark scene appears it just looks destroyed

Have posted this exact issue months ago on AVS Forum.  Was about to return tv and then it went away.  Just came back again and found out about the 10 second reset.  This needs to be fixed Samsung.

This happened to our brand new TV after it went into sleep mode. Restarting the TV fixes it. Is it happening to you after the TV falls asleep from inactivity?

I have had the same issue and I've had a terrible experience with Samsung this time. I've used their other products and maybe had very high expectations but the TV hasn't lived upto it. At this price point you expect top notch quality and service but the reality is to the contrary. Has anyone found a permanent fix? There seem to be moderator comments for direct messages.

In my case I've realised its almost always related to game mode. And unplugging/replugging solved it for me. Now thanks to you all i have found this long press power key function and that works too. *keeping fingers crossed*
