So yeah, this new firmware...no clue what it changed
If anyone knows, every time that i connect the switch to the dock, TV finds it as a new device, and change my custom name and icon on the HDMI input.
Any solution for this?
HDMI AUTO DETECT TOGGLE
The HDMI Auto Detect feature can be turned off on Samsung 2016/2017 TVs using the remote control by pressing a certain key sequence (either IR or Bluetooth remote works).
1. Make sure TV is updated to latest firmware version
2. Switch TV to TV source HDMI may not work with BT Smart remotes. TV source works with either remote
3. Using IR Remote: Mute + 7 + 2 + 9 + Exit
4. Using Smart Control: Mute + Vol Down + Ch Down + Mute
PLEASE NOTE: TV does not display any messages after you press the above key combination. This function is a toggle. So if you want to turn HDMI Auto Detect on again, press the same key sequence.
This information has already been shared with online Tech Support and the Call Centers.
So what's at the moment the right way to deal with way too dark HDR in Netflix? I was trying to watch Mindhunter but had to turn dynamic contrast to medium for it to not be super dark.
I don't think there's an agreed-upon "right" way. I run into the same issue with some HDR games on PS4 such as Hot Shots Golf, and here's my solution:
1) Backlight to 20
2) Dynamic Contrast to Low (anything more crushes detail in bright or dark areas)
3) Gamma to +1, 2, or 3 depending on how dark the content is.
I don't mess with any other settings since I know those are "right" for me and I don't want to fiddle with them.
I got some on the last FW
Every time I turn dynamic contrast off I end up turning it back on. I am to used to the 'pop.'
Here is how I dealt with that.. goto the dynamic contrast setting. Close your eyes for a few seconds, change it to none, keep the eyes closed and back out of the menu, keep the eyes closed a wee bit longer... now open them!
I've just bought a ks7000 uk which is apparently the ks8000 USA. The firmware on the uk website isn't the latest (surprise surprise) so I download the 2106.1 from the USA website.
This should work fine on my tv?
Try this
I have the opposite with my set and the ps4 pro. HDR too bright and I can't seem to find that perfect setting. I've gone back to running without HDR and using my old settings which had nice deep blacks and popping colour.So what's at the moment the right way to deal with way too dark HDR in Netflix?

I would add:
Up the color to 60.
Turn off Dynamic Contrast altogether
I thought I needed DC but turning the color up worked for me. DC does way more harm than good, provided you have contrast maxed out and the color turned up a bit.

Further to this, my screen Will just go black every now and then if auto is selected on the ps4 and it happens with both HDR and non HDR content. Fail.

It's not the cables. Spent some good money on these. It's something to do with the PS4 and maybe the way it handles HDMI handshakes. Some people only have this issue with the PS. All other devices like Xboxes are fine.Could be a too low quality cable. Haven't experienced this myself with the stock PS4 Pro cable but with 4K, HDR etc HDMI cable quality does matter.

I was watching Stranger Things 2 and the bloom produced by white-on-black is especially noticeable during certain scenes. A way to remedy this is turning Smart LED off. Would doing this have a big impact on the overall image quality?
Doesn't the backlight need to be at max to truly benefit from HDR?Yes, youll get overall reduced contrast, greyer blacks.
The smart LED should turn off the LEDs in dark areas, however if the backlight is too high then youll get more bloom
The TV supports HDR. I have a standard PS4 and get HDR in games and get HDR video when using the TV's own apps for Netflix etc.
EDIT - You have to *enable* HDR. It's crackers, but it's in the UHDMI settings or something. I can't quite remember. There's a section in settings to do with the ports that are in the HDMI-box and you have to turn those on to allow HDR to work.
Your remote problem sounds odd. I found that the black plastic remote was bit less responsive than the silver one. I didn't have to point at any particular part of the TV to get it work.
My KS8500 does the same blacking out every 30 minutes or so thing too. But ONLY on the
PS4 PRO.
So is there any reason to not use pc mode for gaming consoles. I played around switching between pc and game mode and the picture looks way better to me using pc mode
Just got the update to 1207.2 so that should be rolling out. I googled it and couldn't find any changes.
Depends on the user I guess. Some people dont like how PC mode oversaturates colors and theres also slightly higher input lag there (though I dont really notice it). The only real benefit for me is separate SDR/HDR settings but once the firmware update that fixes that arrives, I might just stick to Game mode thenSo is there any reason to not use pc mode for gaming consoles.

I hope this is the HDR fix. Did you download it directly from the tv?
Not sure but is there even such a thing as 8 bit HDR?doesn't pc mode only give 8bit hdr too?
AFAIK there is still a difference between PC mode and outside PC mode + native color space (PC mode still being more oversaturated). I remember comparing the 2 before and PC mode not only oversaturates, it seems to shift some color tones around too. My PS4 theme for instance has a blue background. Putting in native color space in game mode makes the blue punchier. In PC mode though, the blue background turns purplish in color. This is when in HDR by the way (run a game in HDR then return back to the PS4 home screen)PC mode way oversaturates the colors. If you want that same effect in game mode, turn the color space to native.
I leave Dynamic Contrast set to off. If you have the other settings set correctly, you wont need DC.Anyne have good settings for the tv?
Native or Auto what is better?

I may be wrong but I thought I read gran turismo sport was the first 10bit colour depth game. Which means all other games with hdr have the wrong colour depth because your forced to use 10bit setting for hdr.
I have sky q 4k set top box in uk and it has a 8bit or 10bit setting and it looks so much better in 8bit cause nothing on tv is mastered in 10bit colour yet.
Same issue only its not every 30 minutes - its more random. Sometimes its 1 min after turning on and never again, and sometimes it happens a couple times a session. Sometimes it recovers in a few seconds and sometimes I have to power cycle my receiver or PS4 Pro to fix it. It's maddening. I've switched receivers, run it direct to the TV, switched cables and turned off the HDCP. NOTHING solves it. Xbox One X and other devices don't do this. I would think this is a issue with ALL PS4 PROs... if not maybe Sony can exchange my crappy one. So frustrating.
I had your exact same issues. I said every 30 minutes to even out the times, but in reality it's super random. Like you it can happen twice to me in the first 10 minutes of watching a HDR show on Netflix or playing a game with HDR on, and then for the next 3 hours it never happens again.
It's super random and frustrating. The only good thing is, it only blinks and turns off for like 3 seconds and then it's back.

Yeah I've started getting this recently, but only on the PS4 Pro never on apps, which suggests it's maybe a HDMI thing with me. Was okay for about the first 8 months of having the Pro and this TV. Just resorted to putting the Pro on YUV420 and not had any issues since
Do you lose any quality of 4K or HDR that you are aware of with using YUV420?
Hey guys, what did the newest firmware do?
Is the HDR fix firmware out yet? Anyone?
