I got above TV after doing all the settings with Samsung technician I find amost of the faces looks, "Jaundice" which with yellowis tint. Picture quality is not as axpected from an 8K tv. should I use an 8K (HDMI2.1) cable to link sky box and the TV to give me better quality broadcast?
My supplier is happy to take the tv back and refund me in full, should I do that and buy high end 4K instead?

More pixels doesn't necessarily mean a better TV. There is very little 8K source material to actually show off what a screen like that can do, other than a few demo videos.
Sky Q output is compressed, like all broadcast TV. A high spec HDMI cable won't improve the image quality. Some TVs are better at upscaling the native 1080i HD output than others. My Samsung 4K TV does a noticeably worse job than my Panasonic.
If I were you I'd return the Samsung and go for a 4K OLED from LG, Sony or Panasonic.

@fizzdisco all you needed to do was add C1 to the LG and you'd start to sound like another poster we know 😛
