KS8000 settings for gaming at 4k/HDR

Auto does not work with Samsung TVs

Auto somewhat works on my ks9000, as long as I don't change it to anything else while something (eg. PS4) is running. If I switch it to low then auto for instance, then it stays stuck on low, even if my PS4 is set to full. Toggling my PS4's rgb setting then makes it auto work again. Also, if running HDR on a PS4 Pro, I believe the RGB setting should be automatically set to the proper setting. The TV should also gray it out for you. When using a regular PS4 though, yes you do need to make sure your TV is running in Full/Normal black level and PS4 is set to full RGB
Auto doesn't work though for my Xbox One. It always thinks that my Xbox is set to low RGB or something.

Hmmmm....and ECO mode is turned off?
Auto on the TV and PS4 Pro works fine and is a match for all content. Don't listen to these crazy people.

Yep, Eco Mode is off since the first day.
I don't know what I was thing using DC low. I think playing too much Zelda made me forget what real lighting looked like.
When on them avs forums and people were convinced you need DC.
Nope. It does nothing but ruin the image.
Been loving the shit out if horizon. Looks his damn incresible.
Played some crash and even that looked fantastic on this tv. Just that small res bump goes a long way.

Really depends on what source you are using. I have DC off for everything -- except UHD playback, where I have it set on Low. The image totally needs a bump and is way too dim otherwise. For that, I have Backlight at 12 and with DC on Low, it looks really good. I've tried it every other way (turning DC off, pumping up the Backlight), and nothing else comes close to matching that image IMO. HDR, at least when playing back UHDs on my Oppo, really needs DC, albeit at a minimum.
Can't speak for HDR gaming, and I'd never use DC on anything else...1080p content especially, where it blows out the image, as it would on Zelda. I have it off totally otherwise.

So as of this morning my ks8500 stopped giving me the notification that an hdr video was playin. I can still hit the middle button and see that it's displaying 4k and HDR. Anybody else of this. I like the notification you know...piece of mind.
Since abandoning movie mode I have yet to run into the problem of the picture being too dim in HDR. Well, other than the problem of the Netflix app on the XBO being in the dimmed HDR mode for all content. HDR content in movie mode was always too dim, and even game mode being engaged from movie mode introduced the problem. I'd much rather abandon movie mode than use DC and blow out the picture.

I cannot set my HDMI black to normal.. even if its not on HDR signal.
New update removed that notification.
I watched a Lego movie UHD. Thought it was dim and turned on DC Low but it was blowing out colors and stuff.
I didn't try turning down the backlight. I have read an article before that suggested backlight being lower does give better results some reason.
I'll give your idea a shot and see what it looks like.
Sounds like an issue on the gpu end. 1440p works fine here, gtx 980, scaling set to gpu.

Wtf. These weren't there last night. Did my screen develop dead pixels overnight?
Those don't look like dead pixles.
Did you clean it recently? I noticed something similar after cleaning my screen. I thought it was damaged, until they went away somehow.

Doubtful. Are they there using both external sources and the TVs built in apps?
If so, try unplugging the tv from power for several minutes to do a reset.

Oh cool thanks for infoI cannot set my HDMI black to normal.. even if its not on HDR signal.

Depends on the TV. On the KS8000 I would say it looks about the same as it does on a 1080p set of the same size using the same edge lit LCD technology. Or course, if you are coming from plasma or projection the difference will be greater. Those tended to be kinder to older/worse content in my experience. Similarly, if you are comparing a 55" older set to a new 65" 4K set with 720p or older content, then its probably going to look worse than it did on your old set just due to the increase in size.
Very much depends on content.
I would only buy a 4k tv if I planned on using it for good quality content.
I would think something like satellite would look like trash but idk.

Anyone have any luck with Steam Link beta?
My actual Steam Link works fine, this beta app on the otherhand I can't even get to acknowledge my computer,
edit, nvm. All I had to do apparently is post on gaf and then it magically started working seconds later. Gaf Gold ftw

Hoping someone has a similar issue and can help..
My Xbox One S was working fine with his TV when plugged directly into the HDMI on the TV connector box, but when i just upgraded and got a new receiver - the xbox now looses connection (goes black for a short time) or flashes white blocks on half the screen. Strangely this does't occur if I am playing a 4k game like Forza Horizon 3 or watching a 4K blu-ray. But on the xbox dashboard or in a game like overwatch it happens. Sometimes much more often then others but enough its no usable. But I didn't have this issue when going through the TV. Funny enough the PS4 used to have the issue a lot but seems better since hooking it through the receiver.
Anyone have similar issues and suggestion on what can be done? Receiver works fine with PS4 Pro and Apple TV and other inputs.

What kind of HDMI cable are you using from your receiver? The only time I ever had issues similar to what you describe (with my PS4 Pro) is when my cable wasn't up to snuff and I had HDR enabled.
tried 2 different ones - last one was amazon cable - latest standard. It wasn't expensive so that could be the issue i guess.

Do you guys really keep sharpness at zero. The picture seems really blurry. I am trying to get used to it.
Yep. Unless pc, than its 50 i think.

Does it still flicker when you disable HDR on that port?
What are you watching?
Mine is at zero and I definitely wouldn't call it blurry.

Just ps4 and most recently Zelda. It's Not super Vaseline blurry but is does seem much softer.

No problems whatsoever here... have you set the HDMI Black Level correctly? If your PS4 output is set to Limited RGB, the TV should be on Low, and if your PS4 is set to Full RGB, the TV should be set to Normal.
Ive tried this. The game is still gorgeous just wayyy to dark

What are your settings? Dynamic Contrast on or off? Brightness, contrast, etc?
