yes I have ben running my consoles on my Samsungs for a few years in pc mode.
RGB settings are on the source (console) settings not on the tv. there is an HDMI black level setting on the Samsung tv options. If your source is set to limited (or can not be changed) set the tv to HDMI black "Low" . If console is set to full (0-255) then set tv to HDMI black "normal". you will notice one gives you black crush or wash out if not set correctly.
also PC mode disables all this crap because it is not necessary. it displays the images as the developers intended. it amazes me how uptight we get about graphics on the board and then people are playing with souped up contrasts, colors and added sharpening filter on our tvs and rarely see the result as intended.
once I set it to pc and got used to the image, I realized how unnatural my old settings were. overly sharpened and colored and darkened.
also ...do not judge the settings and go back and forth to the old modes... set it and forget it and after a while the brain will stop expecting the fake settings to be true and most games will appear better
On my Sammy 54 inch LED the TV automatically sensed my PS3 and PS4 and actually named the source on its own. What I mean is when I hooked up my console, my TV named it "Sony Playstation 3" and "Sony Playstation 4". I also have my TV set to game mode and HDMI to low.
Can I assume that my TV knows (obviously) that this is a gaming console and has set the right parameters? Where can I go to see this "PC" naming option?
My picture looks great but my OCD kicks in when I start reading these threads.
