Edit. If you have the latest firmware, it is now right to set color space to auto instead. Native was due to a firmware bug.

Here are my final settings for this tv. i will add notes, as some stuff is preference or varies by panel, environment and brightness.
This is on the the 55inch panel with a PS4 PRO. PC use different settings.
For gaming
Picture mode : movie, special viewing mode game
Go to expert settings
I use backlight anywhere from 5 at night to 10 during day. Set to preference and environment lighting, time of day etc
Leave brightness at 45
Contrast at 90-100. I use 94.
Sharpness at 0
Color at 50. A calibration disc will tune this number to your specific panel,
Tint 50. again, calibrate if looking for perfect settings
Smart led low/high or off is ok. I leave mine on high.
Make sure hdmi uhd color is on each input you use 4k hdmi
Black level auto
Resolution at auto
Dynamic contrast off
Color tone warm 2 (this can be preference)
Gamma 0
Color space auto
Hdr for gaming!
This is bugged, you will have to manually up the backlight to 20 for hdr game content in gaming mode and back to 5-10 when you are done. Hopefully we get a fix soon
Set dynamic contrast. This can vary by preference. Off gives best range and detail. low to rid of the dim image.
Smart led is reccomended to be on high for hdr.
Ps4 video settings all set to auto
If you want 4k hdr streaming on netflix you will need to use the tv app until the ps4 one
Hdr content outside of gaming will turn backlight to 20 .You will not get a notification like in gaming for hdr content
Smart led on high for hdr content.
For movies, Netflix etc
Color tone warm 2. Industry standard
I leave digital clean view and auto motion plus off in movie mode. You can use digital clean view for clean looking 720p content if you wish
My tv sound is on audio out/optical with bitsream and dolby digital for my logitech 5.1 pc surround i use
Ps4 audio is hdmi out, bitstream digital
Than optical from tv to surround.hdmi from ps4 to tv
Tips.
Do not forget to check in game brightness slider far games with a new tv. I find defualt is best on most.
Do not forget to change your settings for all modes, including when hdr kicks in on netflix etc.
Turn eco settings off
Turn samsung light off it annoys you in system expert settings
Settings > System > Expert Settings > Light Effect > Off
Turn anynet off in system expert settings if you dont want tv to power on systems hooked up
Make sure you update to latest firmware
Xbox 1s. Turn color depth to 10 bit
Do not use hdr+ mode. This is just a fake hdr setting. This is not how you enable HDR.
Using game mode for movies and TV is probably OK. Use at your discretion. Switching to movie mode makes sense to me bc I swap between warm1 and 2 for each type of media
PSVR processing box will prevent hdr from working. Not compatible.
Use the proper hdmi cable 2.0 for hdr, aka the one that comes with the pro
Smart led can bring out light issues in tv. Turn down or off to help, but dont forget high is wanted for hdr
Optical sound resets to pcm on tv with some devices when you switch input.
Some recievers have issues and do not pass hdr through. Check yours does.
Some of us use a very very small bit of sharpness on stuff like wiiu bc the tv looks soft on that resolution of content. Use to your preference.
