Re: IconsFor you guys with the switch, does the input give you a nice Nintendo logo ala the Xbox and PlayStation icons?
There's a PlayStation one?
It'd be nice if there was a list.

I call upon the power of the might known as Gaf
About to pull the trigger (finally) on a new set for the PS4 Pro. Are the KS8000 and KS9000 still suggested by everyone here as the best choice? I was looking at the UN65KU7500 but was advised against it...
I think a fair number here read rtings, which had KS8000 as one of the best gaming TV's going (along with the LG B6). The current quarter article says the B6 and Vizio P are still the best - readily available - sets. KS8000 inventory is in decline along with the KS800D warehouse model.

You got it - happy shopping!Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
UK Gaffer, looking to buy the KS7000 (KS8000 in the US) and went into John Lewis to have a quick look and according to the salesman they're changing the 'codes' due to new models coming out for 2017. What's the new equivalent of this? Should I still just seek out at KS7000 elsewhere?

Thank god for firmware update. I was about to explode on these motherfuckers. Just got my KS9000 today.
Wont work in video games or blu rays. Only apps
Wait, so do we want this to happen or don't we?No, if you set it to RGB on PS4 Pro it automatically switches to YUV422 for HDR.
It tells you what's currently being output on the video output information section in video settings.

What ?
Welp...noticed this wonderful line of pixels running up the TV...
no uhd player? The tv is one...Had a really annoying issue thats really particular, but i've found a solution, so here goes for anyone watching HDR content on netflix with subs.
Basically, subs on netflix are rendered at peak brightness, for visibility. This means the sub portion of the screen has to be lit up by the edge lighting inherent in the KS8000. Having smart LED set to high (or low) since you're watching HDR and want to get the most out of the standard, will make dark(ish) scenes bloom whenever the subs are on-screen, leading to a noticable brigtness change near the top of the screen, due to edge lighting. Once you notice this, it gets to be infuriating, as it almost acts like an eco-sensor on molly, becuase the subs usually arent displayed constantly.
A reference scene - second episode of Iron fist, 35:00 in, Danny is lying in bed talking to a dude. Really noticable.
You've got 3 choices to limit this, 2 of them sub-par:
1): Watch without subs, which won't be viable for everyone
2): disable SMART LED, which kinda makes HDR content moot,
OR
3): Customize your subs via netflix.com under account, and make them semi-transparent. Then reload the netflix app to make the subs refresh. White subs will appear more like a muted light grey, and the peak brightness of these should not noticably lead to blooming when there's subs in darker scenes.
I've no idea if this happens on UHD content or if its netflix-exclusive, since i dont have a UHD player, but its such a relief to have found a fix.
Hdr10+ will only work for the TVs internal apps.
They cant make the 2.0a hdmi magically 2.1
Meaning blu ray players , xbox scorpio etc cant use dynamic HDR even when they update
So if I'm reading this right, there's no reason to be exited for this if you mainly play games then. Great. Well I guess I'd say 'should've bought a TV next year instead', but all the people buying new TVs this year will just be pissed when next year they come out with hdmi 2.2 anyway. Dynamic HDR sounded great. I hate feeling like I've had something like this for 6 months and it's already missing something. Just make a new One Connect box then at least, or at least do something.

Are there actual hardware differences in HDMI connection in 2.1 standard? Plus we already have Sony adding HDR over 1.4 connection with ps4 non pro.
There's an info button, labelled Info, above the right-arrow button.So with Sense8 now I finally upgraded my Netflix to 4k so I can check it out. I'm fairly certain I'm streaming in 4k (at least it looks very good), but I can't be certain. Is there any way to tell what resolution the TV is currently at it? I feel like I once had an info button but I can't seem to find it again.

Think I'm gona pick one of these up (UK) tomorrow.
Hope it's all good http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1370116
Any tips?
Unplug the tv from the power for a few minutes and then plug it back in.
Hdr on the original ps4 is only 8-bit colour though.
I've been readind quite the oppositeriginal PS4 displays a 10 bit HDR, while the PS4 Pro when displaying the 4K signal only provides the 8 bit HDR 4:2:2.
no uhd player? The tv is one...
PS4 Pro is 10-bit HDR using YUV422. The original is HDR using RGB. To be honest can't find anything definitive that this is 8-bit or 10-bit on the original, but it makes more sense to me that it would be 8-bit if it uses RGB.
Do we have official info on this? I read all kind of info and nobody can really find anything definitive
I've even read some gamers saying that HDR in FFXV has more HDR range when forcing the PS4 Pro to 1080p than in YUV due to the limited (8 bit) HDR YUV is displaying.
Well I joined the owners club and placed my order this morning

Got a bundle with a 4K Bluray player & 5 year warranty for £1,500
I got a notification of a software update that details some changes, but when I check for it, the set tells me the software is up to date. Any idea of a timetable? It just says "after 5/2017".
Anyone else with KS8000/PS4PRO still suffering from random black screens? Can be fine for hours at a time but then once in a while I get a black screen with the audio still playing. I ordered better (read: more expensive cables) but what is wrong here?
Also, the black screens stop completely when I use YUV420 so it's a bandwidth thing? What am I looking for in quality difference in a comparison between 422 > 420? Because I really can't see the difference and normally I'm extremely critical with anything visual.
Is this new or used?
For regular Xbox One 1080p gaming (not HDR) do you want the Smart LED on or off? Some of the brightness fluctuations seem a little wonky to me with it on. I am not running dynamic contrast either (only use it for HDR)
So I'm just curious, but how are any of you okay with using Game Mode on this set ? At least on mine, Game Mode has really irritating flicker/strobing on things when you rotate the camera in most games.

My OG PS4 has an icon.My Xbox One S has an icon but my PS4 Pro does not and my Switch does not.
I notice it and I believe this is because the set uses a PWM backlight. Honestly I just got used to it after a while. It's especially noticeable in 30 fps games like Horizon. Some people aren't sensitive to it. If you are, you may be better served with a different set that doesn't do PWM. Usually there is a trade-off, PWM introduces flickery duplication whereas non PWM is more "smeary" when there are moving objects. The page I linked to will explain. Both suck, TBH.
In movie mode you can use motion interpolation (Motion Plus on Samsungs) to alleviate this problem but it introduces a lot of input lag. Again, whether you are sensitive to that or not is up to you.
TV technology still kind of sucks. There's no perfect set so you have to find the one with the flaws you can put up with. OLED is the best but even it has annoying problems.
So I'm just curious, but how are any of you okay with using Game Mode on this set ? At least on mine, Game Mode has really irritating flicker/strobing on things when you rotate the camera in most games. If I stand in the open or in the woods in Horizon for example and rotate the camera, all the branches on trees or blades of grass have like a micro flicker where the edges of the objects appear to rapidly jitter as the camera pans.
Just rotating the camera basically destroys the IQ in almost every game. I switched to movie mode and using some of the motion settings it's fixed. But I can't seem to make my settings in movie mode look as good as my game mode settings because the set won't get as bright in that mode (even when copying the same settings). Does no one else notice or have that issue ?
