KS8000 settings for gaming at 4k/HDR
- Thread starter Haines
- Start date
I would try low a bit more. Medium is kind of over kill imo.
So I'm trying to update my firmware via usb and I can't seem to figure it out. I downloaded the file and extracted it onto the USB drive, then I plugged it in to my TV and chose update but it never gives me the option of checking the USB drive for the update. What am I doing wrong?

The file has to be named exactly for the tv to see it. Earlier in the thread someone posted a link and I think you can find it on sammys site.
Also, it has to be in the root folder. If it is in a sub folder it won't work.
I had to plug mine into the box not the tv
I extracted straight to the drive. No folder.

Yep, I've seen lots of issues with Netflix hanging. I'm just glad the OS on this TV isn't as abhorrent as the Sony X850c. That shit crashed every day.

Game mode allows HDR and other modes as well.
For me it's fixed on 1169. Haven't had to log back in for many weeks.
Cool!
There's a 65' KS9000 on sale in finland (still not cheap, but 1490 euros isn't horrible) and I'm torn.

What are the recomended settings for the regular PS4?
How long do you think this TV will "last"?
I worry about technology all the time, having to upgrade GPUs, phones, consoles etc. too often. Are there new techs in the display market that will render this monitor "old" amytime soon, or will this actually be good for the entire 4K "generation" (until we move up in resolution basically, which is probably ways away still)?
Or will this version of HDR last a while? How about new HDMI versions which handles data transfering differently? Or LED being outdated because of OLED or something even better?
I'm just super happy with this TV at the moment but I hate when I buy something "best in class" just for it to become outdated in one/two years.

That's how it usually is with electronics. I am gonna keep my KS9000 for 5 years or more now and upgrade to an OLED or 8K or whatever.
5 years is fine to be honest. I just despise phone tech because everything runs on the same OS which is always updated and snappy on the latest phone but starts to run like shit when you have an older model. I'm just starting to worry I jumped on the 4K train before it was acruallu ready.
But so far so good I guess. The main reason I asked is because I stopped caring about display tech when I bought this TV, just wondered what the next big step is. 8K, new HDMI features, another HDR standard, new monitor materials, something else?

I think they're going to stay with 4K for a long while, and focus on improving HDR (dynamic HDR), which is the tech that is really making all the difference in image quality.
The one good thing is this tv could be firmware upgradable to future hdr specs also with the one connect box if hdmi standards move on faster than they normally would it could be as simply as buying a new one connect box and a firmware update. I normally keep TVs around three years so this should be plenty of time for oled to get where I need them to get before I jump in.
There will always be something better, with brighter HDR etc. That doesn't mean what you bought will suddenly become any worse than when you bought it.
The upcoming big thing would be HDMI 2.1. That would mean 120 Hz input at 4K and variable refresh rate support which would be fantastic for consoles. VRR should be possible to implement with software updates as it doesn't require extra bandwidth. In theory at least Samsung could offer an updated One Connect box that would support HDMI 2.1 but I doubt they will because it would eat the sales of new TVs.
HDR10+ should be coming to the TV in a software update. It allows brightness adjustment per scene.

I might be a little late with the answer, but Dynamic Contrast needs to be turned off. It messes up colour and brightness and is essentially the exact opposite of what HDR delivers. That is why you might hav a hard time spotting the difference.

Those are the recomended settings for the Ps4 Pro, no? Should i use them on a regular PS4?

Not really true. There's an ongoing debate in this thread, on AVS, and pretty much everywhere discussing the KS8000 about Dynamic Contrast. Some people love it, some people don't, but it's incorrect to say that that's why he's having trouble spotting the difference.
Yes? What do you expect to be different?

Yeah, I swapped out my Xbox One S for an Oppo UDP-203 a few months ago and couldn't be happier.

I don't use any of these currently so I can't make recommendations, but the reviews and ratings should be helpful in picking one.
It's an option buried in the TV's menus. It's not in the picture settings but in one of the others. You want all this turned off.

Is hdr supported on every HDMI input? My ps4 pro said hdr was unavailable on input 3 and a quick Google search hasn't provided any divinitive info. (This is on a ks9000 but I assume it would be the same answer for both)

I think so. My PS4 Pro uses the 3rd input with no issues.

I'm not paying the much either. Hopefully Redbox will start carrying 4K discs soon.
Do you have it passing through a psvr breakout box by chance?

You have to go into the settings and turn on HDR for any input that you want to use it on.

4k HDR should work on all inputs. Make sure you enable UHD color on the input you'll be using HDR on (I just enable it on all inputs)
I just bought lego movie 4k for 20
My kid is getting into lego and we only watched it on netflix before, its on bluray for 10 but why the heck do i own this expensive tv if im not going to pay 10 more for the 4k hdr version
Its upscale but i read cgi upscales really well
First 4k i actually bought.

I got the FW update yesterday 1180.. it still does not fix the above crap though....
Yeah consoles aren't going to surpass 4K for a long time, only just stumbling towards it now.
Can't see UHD films becoming popular until they come down to a reasonable price. £20-£25 for a disc is ridiculous. I know it's that high because it's not a big enough market at the moment, but maybe they need to drive the increase in the market by lowering the prices.

Can anyont tell me what i should be using for the ps4 (pro) settings.
Like, i'm still super confused.. do i want full or limited on? and i dont see anywhere on the TV to change full and limited also.
And i saw posts recommending to change the black level but it always says unavailable..

First 4K movie you bought wasn't even 4K :b
Set the PS4 Pro to Full (Auto does not work correctly with Samsung TVs) and set the tv HDMI Black to Normal (you can only change this when not viewing a HDR picture.) Then use the picture settings in OP
Is there a site or list that breaks down which releases are actually based on 4K material?
Will be KS7000 in UK. Everywhere seems to be running short on stock though. Saw Currys had a 49" at a good price but they're out of the 55"
Here for £1049

I got my KS9000 here on ebay, previously returned, but was only a scratch on the back of the casing, everything else perfect. The KS7500 55 inch (curved) is £750 there

For peace of mind I'd probably pay the extra for a decent warranty, was a much bigger saving to get a refurb/returned tv when I got mine.

You still greatly benefit from the HDR and the higher bitrate. Several 2K masters sit alongside the best that 4K UHD has to offer. Pacific Rim, John Wick Chapter 2, and The Shallows are all great examples of this.
realorfake4k.com is pretty good.
There's also a stickied thread on blu-ray.com that keeps an up-to-date list of 4K UHDs that utilize a 4K or higher master.

MY GOD! Thank you!!! The mode I like the best, kept dimming on me so I had to choose "natural" mode instead. I will try this later today.
Just noticed today: you can disable this kind of ads on our Samsung KS7000 and KS800.
Just go to the last sub-menu (I'm from Spain, so I can't know how it´s named in English. "Assistance", perhaps?) and then navigate until "Customized ads" or similar. Uncheck the option inside and that's all, no more ads on Tizen OS
Hope this advice helps you!
