Hm. I'll give warm 2 a shot as well
It's definitely easier on the eyes
You should. I was wrong. It's def better
Yeah after 5 rounds of titanfall I like it.
I had to pump the backlight up though. From 8 to 15
I may as well post this here as well, given this is a specific KS8000 thread.
According to RTings.com, the Samsung KS8000 is capable of 4K @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4 chroma subsampling @ HDR results in 37.6 ms of input lag. Is this all achievable in game mode (which I assume must be on for the PS4 Pro)?
My next question, if the TV supports 120Hz refresh rate, I take it that its not capable with these modes enabled? Or does it not matter as games are 60fps and under on the PS4 Pro?
Set it to how u like your games to be. Personally I set sharpness very low with medium brightness and high color and contrast.Is this gonna be my life now? I'm gonna have to keep tweaking my TV settings depending upon which game I am playing??
Not really. Warm is recommended for movies not games. Both warm and neutral are ok but neutral will show you how the colors were meant to look. Unless I'm crazy. lol
Happy to be proven wrong if I am.
edit. I am seeing different opinions on this all over the net.
I'm gonna try the warm setting
So should sharpness be 0 or close to 0
Colors in HDR look really poor, not saturated, without dynamic contrast.
Dynamic contrast clips whites and crushes blacks

Dynamic contrast is racist.
Why all the hate for Dynamic Contrast? I think it's necessary for HDR content as it's too dull without Dynamic Contrast.
For non-HDR content, I agree, it should be off.
BTW, what color space option is right for HDR content? I have it on Native as rtings but I read somewhere that after the latest update it has to be Auto. What is the correct setting for HDR now?
KS8000 or KS8500? Given KS8500 is cheaper. Are they identical specs wise? If yes then shouldn't go for the curve?
I messaged them because I use the Elgato HD60S to record and stream. The device range at moment will not support 4K. You'll have to record at 1080p60. I believe they are working on an updated device, though.Sooooo question on 4k and pro
How is streaming going to work with my Elgato? Will I be able to use it and still get 4k/hdr or will I have to get a few HDMI cords and swap constantly when I want to stream?
So I just picked up an XBOX One S. Anyone playing Forza Horizon 3 on this set? If so, how are you adjusting the in-game brightness and HDR brightness?
Box 1 is supposed to be "barely visible." To achieve this, I need to adjust the brightness, in game, to less than 30. I then turn the HDR brightness, also in-game, up until the Forza Horizon logo disappears.
That should be the right way of doing it, but it seems a bit too dark that way. Maybe I just need to get used to that. If I set the brightness so that I can still see Box 1, then adjust HDR brightness accordingly, it's brighter and looks a bit better. The contrast between darks and lights isn't as pronounced though.
HDR looks nice, but the game's IQ was cleaner at 1080p on my old TV. Upscaling just isn't as good as native resolution. I'm anticipating the PS4 Pro to be a lot cleaner.
Thanks. Figured there was something wrong with it. I'll probably bring it down a few notches, then adjust HDR accordingly as well.The brightness calibration in forza is bunk. I think I left it on default or just a few notches below default. Then adjusted HDR brightness accordingly.
How the hell are you guys using Dynamic Contrast?
It kills the image quality, washes absolutely every frame
How do you turn on HDR mode on the KS8000?
A lot of people are getting really confused by that. Samsung doesn't explain it well in the manual, either.Turn "HDMI UHD Color" to ON.
I keep hearing on this that dynamic contrast is a no no. Obviously not got my PS4 Pro but the only HDR game I have, Forza, looks far better with this at max.
And yes I have calibrated the brightness in game.
Will try turning it off when my Pro arrives to see if I prefer it.

The whole point of HDR is the wider range. Dynamic contrast simply compresses the range and in that case you might as well revert back to SDR.To my eyes,
having dynamic contrast ON while on HDR mode greatly improves the picture quality. I've read some of your post, and having it off just looks dull and dark.
anyway, i keep dynamic contrast on the medium setting, and i turn it off to watch sdr content.
Is that really true? I can't find anything about that online. Just turn it on? After it's on and I'm playing a PS4 game, is there a way to indicate if it's really in HDR mode?
Here, everyone should read this.

Actually, we don't need more in-game CMS controls so much as HDR10 needs to hurry up and add in dynamic metadata like Dolby Vision does for this exact reason apparently. Problem is will we even get it in HDMI 2.1 or we looking at HDMI 3.0 and another year of obsolete TVs?Unlike movies, which must me mastered with fixed black and white points and are at the mercy of the TV tonemapper, games are real time rendered so these things can be changed at runtime with user facing controls. This unique flexibility is why games are a superior medium for HDR content.
That said it's only unrealized potential if devs or (preferably) the platforms don't actually implement user facing calibration controls. The disparity in responses to seeing HDR agrees with me that this the single most important HDR implementation aspect right now, especially while everything is still settling.
I just bought one of these, anyone know what a good wall mount for the TV is?
If something uses HDR you'll see a pop up message on your TV letting you know it's on. You can't miss it.

I have it left on when using non-HDR content, and it works fine.Does it hurt any to leave it on when not using HDR?
Is this gonna be my life now? I'm gonna have to keep tweaking my TV settings depending upon which game I am playing??
Is there a popup indicating you're viewing HDR content when you're using the Netflix or Amazon Prime app? I don't have a lot of experience with HDR and I have no idea if it's working. Stuff like Daredevil looks great, but I wouldn't say the colors look particularly better than 4K stuff that supposedly doesn't have HDR.

I don't think HDR does colors does it. It does brightness and shadows.
I have read Netflix stuff won't be the best example due to low production quality.
I don't know about the pop up notification.

Yeah, regardless of the source, you will get a notification that HDR content is playing.
I don't know what the fuck is up with Netflix and HDR. They said they were hoping to have Daredevil Season Two out in HDR at launch, and if it wasn't it would be shortly after. Eight months later there's still no HDR in sight, and Luke Cage launched without it as well. I think Marco Polo is their only series in HDR. They must be having issues of some sort for this kind of delay and have been pretty much silent on the matter since DD2 eight months ago.
