So you just have to go manually put it up to 20 brightness to fix it right?

For me, I just move the backlight to 20, but I'm sure other people like to do more to their video settings when switching between SDR and HDR games. Every video setting is shared between the two using Game Mode.

I see, that is pretty interesting lol. Are you sure it isn't kicking you out of game mode temporarily or something?
Yeah, it probably switches to one of the other modes to play video files. Strange wrinkle...had my hopes up for a second, haha.

Have you tried PC mode? That might work for you for now, if losing DC and having saturated colors aren't an issue.
Do the new qleds even have the same game mode hdr issue?
I'd recommend just not using the auto setting, I had too many issues with it. Just set PS4 to RGB full and TV to HDMI black level normal OR PS4 to limited with HDMI black level low.

Rumour has it, 1180.5 improves the picture even further so I'm downloading.
Haven't posted in here in a bit...
Can anyone PLEASE confirm that when using a PS4 Pro, and booting up an HDR game (Horizon, etc) that the TV screen goes black for one or two seconds when going into HDR mode? Game boots up, black screen for a second, then when picture returns it's in HDR and I get the banner in the corner.
Only reason I ask is because when I play an HDR video on youtube in the built in app for the TV I get no such black screen for a second.

Yes, that's how it is for me as well.

My JS9000 does the same thing. That is the HDMI performing it's handshake I believe.
I am blown away. I just watched Chef's Table s3e1. It might be the most beautiful thing I've seen on this TV so far, probably the best showcase of 4K HDR imo.
The visuals are fucking amazing. I was in trance the whole time basically. I urge everyone to watch this particular episode. It's about a temple monk cook in Korea. It is probably the most stunning thing I have seen on a screen. No special effects, no fast moving bright particles, just incredible nature and food shots with amazing natural colors.

Gonna second this. What a beautiful spectacle and a great episode to boot.

Limited - low doesn't give me the correct image when playing games in HDR. I just get crushed blacks. The only reason I thought of using auto on the TV is if I have a device where I cannot change RGB setting (older consoles maybe?) but since I do not have such a device currently, yeah I might just settle with normal black level and set everything I have to RGB full.

You mean auto switching to a newly booted device? I can check that in an hour or two when I'm home.

So I have my PS4 controller hardwired to my desktop. Do I need to get a dongle to have the PS4 sync to the desktop to use the PS4 controller on the tv, or are you saying the PS4 controller syncs to the TV through BT?
Just wondering if I need to get anything additional here to get the steam link app working with the tv and the desktop

Got my KS8000 set up. The Forza 7 direct feed Xbox One X video with HDR looks incredible. Between that and Planet Earth 2 I'm sold.

Just pair it directly to the TV. No dongle or cable needed

Are you on firmware 1180.x for your TV?
Anyone else have random black screens when using a KS7000/8000 and the auto/rgb setting with the PS4 PRO? Please post in this thread https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...een-randomly-flickering-on-and-off/td-p/54744 to get the ball moving faster as we are still waiting for a firmware update that fixes this issue.
I used to but eliminated this problem after swapping HDMI cables
They were both high bandwidth HDMI cables too but for whatever reason one worked, one did not.

Random black screens and artifacts such as white snow with 4k hdr content seems to be very hit or miss. I have 2 hdmi cables that are identical ( I believe I bought a set of them from somewhere before), have the same length and have the same "high speed" markings. One of them gives me issues with my ps3 + deep color (flickering) and blueray player + 4k hdr (flickering, white dots, artifacting) while the other cable works perfect for everything.
I have tried four different cables, all different brands and high speed. Which one are you using right now that doesn't give you issues? And you are running in auto/rgb mode?
Its fine in both Auto or RGB. I swap my plugs for my PSVR all the time too and it switches back and reenables HDR ok.
Cable is nothing special w/e 6' cable I grabbed off Monoprice when I needed more cables.
The part that confuses me is I can switch to the bad HDMI cable somewhere in the setup and it 100% starts flickering without fail. Clearly for whatever reason that cable cannot handle the 18gbps even though it claims it can. If I switch to YUV its fine so the cable has no defects it just can't handle the bandwidth it is supposed to.

Good god some of these youtube HDR videos are blowing my mind right now.
Why have I not bought into this up until this point?
Non-HDR content looks so flat now.

Was playing PS4 and turned my PC on and it automatically switched over, even on the latest update.
Yes, it's some of the best material available honestly. Absolutely incredible.
Also, some guy on avs forums claims, the latest update improves the picture and makes it pop more and so forth. I certainly see none of that. It's as good as before but no better.

Which is sad because it's all fixable through firmware.
Also LED dimming should have been possible in gaming mode to reduce ghosting (possibly outside of hdr content of course); it probably requires 0 processing power so it should not add any latency. But they semantically grouped that under auto motion plus settings which is made unavailable. But they could still have left that option available.
Isn't this a feature of Anynet+ ? I like this feature as it works well in my particular setup, but I understand the frustration. Doesn't disabling HDMI-CEC disable this functionality?

Yeah, there's nothing happening on that end. HDR is still a tiny bit dim for my liking at least as far as UHD goes. Still looks great, but if they could update it so you didn't need to use either Dynamic Contrast (I have it set on "low" for HDR only) or Gamma (which I know some people use), then you wouldn't need to tinker with those things at all. At least, in standard 1080p viewing, I don't need to adjust either of those.

Good to hear. Guess I can finally stop unplugging the HDMI every time I'm done playing now.

Can you use an HDMI splitter with the smart hub? I don't have enough ports to hook all my shit up.
If so, anyone got any recommendations as to which one to buy?
I have a ps4 pro btw

Are you talking about Clear LED Motion? I'm sad that this option doesn't work as expected on my ks9000 and is pretty much useless here. That's one advantage that the ks8000 has over it. I believe strobing does add a tiny bit of input lag though, but if other TVs can have it with game mode, Samsung should have as well.
1169 it says here. In Europe (Scandinavia).

Yeah it works ok, I have my pc, 360 and wiiu hooked up into one hdmi port. It's just a generic cheap one and it's perfect, no artifacting etc.. so I think you should be saf, you just won't get 3D or 4K through a cheap one, but use the other ports on the box for those connections.

No luck here either, don't think the TV supports it, which seems strange.

Hey guys I have a KS8500 and realized that I'm going to need to buy a 30 foot high speed HDMI cable.
Is any HDMI cable good enough to be 30 feet and display 4K and HDR fine?

Trouble getting real 4k out of YouTube. The YouTube stat indicator says I'm running at 1440p.
I was running the connection wirelessly at first, so I switched to wired figuring I'd get better results -- indeed it does increase my connection speed dramatically but I'm still not seeing full 4k -- in fact, a much faster connection has made zero difference in my picture quality. Don't know if it matters but here's the YouTube connection stats -- Connection Speed 24KBPS, buffer health 18.0 seconds (sometimes this goes up to above 20).
So what gives?

Yeah, getting videos to buffer to full 4k with the app can be hit or miss, and you can't choose a preference. Pretty annoying.
If you're wired, best advice I can give is to restart the video and cross your fingers. It doesn't seem to change resolution dynamically, just picks a resolution during the initial buffer and sticks with it.

I can confirm no issues with any of my games, even Wii games work fine.
This helped, thank you. I just kept restarting the same video until it clicked onto 4k. I suppose if I had a 50kbps connection it would be a bit more consistent but damn.
