At this point I have given up, we'll never get it. Oh well....
113.5ms?

I wonder if they've improved it since the readings were taken then? It feels considerably better to me than Standard or Dynamic. I also have the motion stuff off, which I believe is on by default.
Possible I suppose. I know Movie Mode felt pretty awful to me when I tried it with a video game.
Same, I don't even check for updates anymore.

No way the KS8000/9000 could get increased nits or Dolby Vision or HLG support through firmware updates right? The changes need to be in the hardware?

Looking to get this TV in the coming months. It's about 1200 here for the 55" version which sounds fair enough. Is that a good idea or are similarly priced TVs with better feats about to hit? I've been out of the loop for about 10 years honestly. Still got a 720p 32" Toshiba in the basement I think.
The new models will be more expensive and we don't have reviews for every model yet, so the only option would be waiting until an OLED would be in the price range, or one of those newer models.
Paid about the same for the curved model, and got an S7 on top as Samsung ran a special deal during the start of the year.
You should still see the TV in person, that's something everybody should do with such an investment.

I did today. It looked good but then, so did all the other TVs. It was 1500 in the store however.
Both Dolby Vision and HLG should be possible with a software update provided the panel and backlight can handle them. Whether Samsung wants to do them or if they will only offer them for new models is a whole another question.
Honestly I wish TVs weren't the most poorly supported long term electronics. Often you have to buy a new model just to fix issues of the previous one or sometimes the latest is worse than the previous gen...it's just baffling how they are going back and forth and constantly seem to be switching UIs etc.

How well does this TV handle upscaling 1080p content? ex: PS4, Xbone, Wii U

Given another chance
Incredibly well.
1080p content on this screen looks better than it did on my native 1080p Vizio panel.

FYI you can just unplug the switch dock from the socket and it also works. Depending on your setup, it's a lot less effort to just plug it out, than to keep popping the hdmi out/in all the time.
I was sorta dreading playing Nier:Automata straight after Horizon in 4kcb and HDR, but it still looks really good upscaled from 1080.

It looks great. Upscaling is only an issue when it comes to sub-720p content, which is to be expected.

I bought this TV earlier today and was incredibly impressed with the upscaling. Can barely tell it's not native tbh.

Stupid question that I am sure has been asked: I am upgrading from a Panny plasma running through a Yamaha Receiver. The Receiver supports 4k but not HDR. So, I am considering running all connections through the OCB. I am assuming I would simply plug my DTV Genie, PS4 Pro and Xbox into the OCB and run digital out to the receiver, correct?
HLG can definitely done by a firmware update. Dolby vision is 12-bit isn't it? So I guess there could just be support at 10-bit.

Yes, but you'll be limited to 5.1 audio since that's all optical or ARC support.

PC mode colors are waaaaaay over saturated and not even in the ball park of being accurate because they force you to use Native color space.
The panel seems to be 12-bit capable at least if my Nvidia Control Panel settings are to be trusted.

So....recently my TV has been randomly switching inputs.
Like, I'll be playing my PS4 and out of nowhere it changes to the HDMI input of my SWITCH even though it's not on (black screen).
Has anyone experienced this? Highly annoying....and completely random while playing Horizon.
I don't know if it's related to the new TV firmware, the switch, or what. Or maybe something stuck/wrong with the remote?

It's the SWitch messing up with the HMDI signal while charging ln dock, known issue.
No perfect solution except undocking the switch when using something else on your TV.

Lol it's a known issue. Everyone has been dealing with it for a month now. So fucking annoying.

Ok thanks guys, I haven't followed this thread in a while. Has there been an official response from
Samsung for a fix?
Samsung for a fix?
Well Samsung's only failure here is to not propose an option to deactivate the feature. Fix should be on Nintendo side imho
But nothing on either ends thus far
It's a 10-bit panel, must just accept 12-bit input.

Was there a trick for anyone to get 10-bit color working? I just moved my PC to the TV and its only showing 8. I'm using the HDMI cable I had used with the PS4 Pro so I don't think that's it.

Have you turned UHD Colour on in the tv's expert settings?

Depends on the chroma.
If you have 4:4:4 selected, it will only do 8 bit.
I guess the other options are 4:2:2 and 4:2:0?
10 bit should work fine with those, but it's a trade off.
The HDMI cable can cause issues trying to do 4:4:4, especially at distance. I have a monoprice premium certified cable. No issues.
This is all for 60hz.
Thats what they said on AVS forums so im sticking to Movie Mode for now. May switch to Game mode once most games are HDR but im liking movie mode just fine.
Been doing ME and its okay , BF1 and Gears seemed fine too.
Dont 60 fps perform better with input lag too?
Native is bad on consoles for sure. Oversaturates big time
Native basically expands the colour gamut from what is being sent to the TV, though this sounds good it can cause the colours to become oversaturated. You'll notice this mostly with a red, green, or blue.
Auto just reproduces what's being sent, which shouldn't degrade the picture quality at all.

I love this TV so much (FF XV is a joy to behold in HDR omg) But for some reason it forgets my ps4's input setting name and icon every once in a while. It's happened a couple times. My video settings are still there and all I need to do is put the input name in again but it's a slight nuisance. Anyone else have this issue?

Is it a random issue. I literally haven't experienced it once since I switched off the ability to auto switch on my tv when the switch is turned on.
One thing I have noticed with Switch is that the colours seem washed out. Setting Black level to Low seems to fix it. Weird thing is that I always have it set to auto but each time I use the Switch, I have to manually set it to Low in order to make Auto use the Low setting. Otherwise Auto seems to switch back to Normal, which gives it a washed out look. Tldr there's something weird about the black level setting that means it doesn't default to Low even though it does when I manually set to Low and then flick back to auto.

Yes, mine doesn't auto recognize my PS4 anymore.
Another thing, does HDMI 4 not do HDR? I got the Show on my PS4 Pro and when plugged into HDMI 4 it said my TV does not support HDR. I moved it to HDMI 2 and it worked.

Did you enable it under settings? You have to turn it on for each input you want to use it for.
Price wise yes. Nothing still beats it for input lag, HDR10 capability and price. Though there are newer televisions that may eventually be a better value later this year.
It's a sick TV. I'm very happy with mine. At 65" it's in a league of its own.

Can you get the Switch to stop changing the hdmi input?
I only have PS4. Sorry.

Sadly no.
Either undock every time, or wait and pray for a patch.
Need some advice receivng HDR10 from PC.
I'm running MEA from PC > TV using a 18gbs HDMI cable and trying to get HDR working. When I enable HDR in MEA, the colors look very very muted and "off", whilst with HDR off the colours look great and vibrant..
My NVIDIA Control Panel is outputting 4:2:2 at 12Bit. Running game mode on the TV. Any ideas?
