So I've been following this thread for about a month now. I couldn't post because I had to wait to get verified...lame...lol. Anyways, I purchased my 55" KS8000 off eBay and it came quickly and I set it all up and I absolutely loved it. I messed with the settings for a good week and landed on the settings I have now which I do love. Here is my situation though. I had a Playstation 4 Pro and it was perfect playing games on there, I knew which games had HDR and I would use the TV apps to watch my content because the Playstation didn't have the updates for 4K on Netflix, Amazon didn't have HDR, etc. It would do it automatically and I didn't have to do much but just turn on game mode...
I'm currently in the process of selling my Playstation 4 Pro and I bought an Xbox One S like 4 days ago. I hooked it up and the apps on here does support 4K, HDR, like Netflix, Amazon, & YouTube. So I downloaded all of those and had everything enabled in the display settings of the Xbox. Going into Netflix, I noticed it was dim, watching some shows I noticed it was darker than what I was use too on Netflix with the same settings, I realized that it was because I had "HDR on" in the Xbox display settings, so the internet tells me to just keep it off for viewing non-HDR content and for now that's how I have it...off. Netflix and my games that do not support HDR look great...
My issue is...Netflix on the Xbox doesn't show me what has HDR content and what doesn't like the TV app version did? Also, if I decide to get a game that does have HDR, I'll have to tweak my settings for HDR and then tweak it back if I play a game that doesn't support HDR? For instance, playing Forza Horizon III and then going back to playing Rainbow Six: Siege...
I was thinking about just keeping the HDR setting on the Xbox display to off and not even use HDR, I feel this is a wasted feature on my part that I'm not taking advantage of, but not sure if anyone can give me any ideas or recommendations. I know Sandy Wexler & Marco Polo were HDR from when I saw them on the Netflix TV app, now I can't see that anymore, but I still know, so when I click on Sandy Wexler to watch on the Xbox, I'll have to tweak my settings for HDR content...
I was thinking about tweaking my settings to what I originally use for HDR and just keep increase the backlight for when I watch HDR content and then just decrease instead of going more in depth...
If it makes sense, here are my settings...
Movie Mode
Backlight- 12 increase to 20 for HDR
Brightness- 45
Contrast- 84 increase to 98 for HDR
Color- 50
Tint- 50/50
Digital Clean View- Off
Auto Motion Plus- Off
Smart LED- Low switch to High for HDR
Dynamic Contrast- High switch to off for HDR
Color Tone- Warm 1
Gamma- 0 increase to 1 for HDR
Now what I was thinking about doing was just increasing my gamma, turning off Dynamic Contrast, turn Smart LED to high, increase the contrast to 98 and keep the settings like that for normal viewing and playing games and when I play HDR content for games and movies, I just turn up the backlight and decrease when I'm not viewing HDR content, make sense? I apologize for the lengthy wall of text, but I was trying to be as descriptive and precise with my situation...thank you all in advance for taking the time to reading this and helping a fellow out!
