Agreed, always go with personal preference in the end. Everything says to put sharpness at 0, but I like a little bit and always have. Additionally everyone suggests Warm 1 for the color tone, but I think it looks terrible and muddy compared to standard, which appears far more natural to my eyes. Also, I'm using movie mode to avoid manually changing the brightness all the time, and I don't notice any real change in input lag. Everyone perceives things differently, so follow the guidelines but don't worry about deviating from them.
I don't have MEA but I've played a few HDR games and have noticed the game has to be in exclusive full screen in order for HDR to work. Try alt+enter or switching to exclusive fs in menu.
Press the home button and select the input you're currently on, a few seconds ones later it will display info. As for HDR settings the most important thing is to make sure backlight is set to max. I also set dynamic contrast to medium or high. Turning it off creates a super dim image in my experience. Some might say that higher settings for dynamic contrast creates black crush, but I haven't found that to be true at all.
Looks fine here. Until Samsung updates the HDR/Game mode issue i'll stick to PC mode.
I'll try tweaking some more settings with dynamic off as well and see if it helps. I've always been the type of person that goes for a more calibrated and natural look over blowing out the image, but for me, dynamic off makes HDR content way too dark. It's to the point that colors feel extremely muted way beyond what you would get from the typically darker tone that calibration gives. For example, white is far more in the realm of grey than it is an actual white. And to be clear, it's only like this with HDR enabled. Dynamic off looks great with SDR content. I'm also always in a well lit room(with no direct light on the screen though), so that could be a factor as well.
Info from the source selection, or directly on Netflix like the consoles?
I'm still having a new-ish issue where my video drops once or twice a few minutes after playing, but then seems ok for the rest of the session.
This has never been a problem for me with my ks9000. Could it be because my Switch (and everything else) is connected to my receiver? I also don't see the problem while in the middle of using the TV's native apps like youtube (or does hdmi switching not occur during those instances?)
Actually I just moved my switch to my receiver (because of stupid LPCM instead of dolby). I should leave the switch on and see if it does the same issue.
Black level doesn't apply with HDR content? I'm pretty sure I could still toggle black level between full and limited and have a washed out image/crushed blacks in HDR games
Exactly. It almost feels like the backlight is being forced to a lower setting internally​ while HDR is on even though it's at 20 in the menus. After messaging with the settings I find that DC off is nearly identical to DC at medium with the backlight turned down to six or seven. I mean, maybe that works for folks in completely dark rooms, but in my environment it means I have a hard time seeing what's on screen if it's a dark scene, and color is nearly eradicated.
Mind sharing your settings?

I got mine from amazon, and they had a free service where two guys deliver, unpack, and install it for you. Or, try to install, and couldn't figure out how to pair the remote.
