Ill post my post calibration when he emails me the graphs. I think he said they are a little over saturated at the top end by pretty accurate otherwise.
If you're seeing the same thing on the Xbone, then I'm sold: busting my Contrast down. I didn't feel good about it being 100. I do have an FA01 panel, but I can't believe 100 can possibly be right. Xbone be damned on this.
Edit: know what? I neglected to check the blocks in the strip at the right of the screen. The sun test is good with contrast at 100, but the block test wants 93. Glad that's sorted out - now it all makes sense.

I've started getting weird hitching in my Amazon Prime videos. Is there a way to force quit the app? Anyone experience this?

Katzmier at Cnet calibrated his KS8000 FA01 and has Contrast at 89 for SDR.

Well damn. Why are some models not uniform when black? How many people have sent theirs back? Going to be annoying waiting for Samsung to send me another TV... :[

Also got an AA02 panel with my 65" KS9000 and so far no complaints. Really happy with this set this far.
Also ordered a KS9000, I ordered mine Monday night Nov 21st (I didn't skimp out on shipping and paid extra for 2 day expedited) and got my set via FedEx on Nov 25th. My Black Friday was awesome, no lines no dealing with folks.

Couple of other light sources are in the pic
All in all kinda happy with the black uniformity on mine.

Crisis averted I guess
I only saw the light bleeding when standing up at an angle
when actually sitting down, it's really not noticeable

I don't know why it's not mentioned in the OP:
But, make sure you use the right HDMI port on the back of your TV (the one that accepts 4k at 60 hz with HDR at 4k)
And, be sure to turn on HDMI UHD Color ON
If you don't do the above two things, none of the stuff about advanced calibration matters. Sorry if this was obvious to some, people sometimes don't know these basics.

55" AA02. Very happy with the screen I got.
Smart LED off
Smart LED low
Smart LED high
Which doesn't seem to be playing well with my iPhone camera. Actually looks a lot more uniform in person.
Not to say that there isn't issues with Smart LED on high. I'd even say it's bad when there's a loading icon or play button in the corner of an all black screen. It'll light a whole column of light on that side of the screen just to light the small icon or text. Looks pretty ridiculous in that particular situation, but no problems otherwise.

AA02 here as well and my lighting looks pretty uniform.
All the HDMI ports accept 4K at 60hz and HDR. Only one does audio return, but all four are fine for 4K/60hz/HDR.
You're right about the HDMI UHD colour setting though, I'm surprised that's missing from the OP.

I will try and capture it for you however it will be very difficult as it happens randomly. You might catch it happening, rewind to watch the same bit of action but then it won't happen again at the same point.
EDIT: ^^^^ Great GIF 😂

Anyone know yet it if this allows for proper HDR implementation while in game mode, i.e. backlight ratchets up to 20 automatically?

Do they release any notes with these new patches? I'm always afraid they're gonna fuck something up....

Can anybody in the UK who manages to install 1154, can they confirm that Amazon video works correctly?
Since I purchased mine with 1142 on it I haven't even been able to install it.

Yes unzip, copy image to USB.
Selecting it from tv: settings> support> software update> update now> tv will notice USB drive and ask of you want to search connected USB device got updates files and click yes.

Europe here, I also cannot unzip the file, it says it's invalid. What in the actual fuck are these people doing?

Sorry for the many replies, trying to help as many as I can. I really enjoy this thread and want to ride it for as long as we can 
Youtube 4K & HDR is the best I've seen across all media apps. Better than Netflix, Amazon, Google...etc
They must be trying to impress everyone, so they set bandwidth very high, I fully see them dropping it down in the future though
This is a very interesting video, thanks for posting. Will give this a shot when I get home, currently I'm keeping 20 sharpness uniformly across all inputs and SDR/HDR as well. Seems to work fine for me.
Same here, panel lottery is still very much a thing. Some people have had success with FF panels. After seeing both in person, I'm a firm believer that the AA02's have a slight edge over FF panels.
Here you go There are some really amazing video in this playlist. I think one of my favorites is the LG Jazz one, looks stunning. I use it to demo my tv for friends & family haha

You will need to download the firmware form the Samsung website and put it on a USB. This is currently only for the US I believe, so use with caution.
1154 Firmware did not fix HDR in gaming mode, we still need to adjust settings manually. We should blast Samsung with complaints about it not working, or else I fear it will never get fixed.
They always release the same patch notes, very generic. We never know what exactly has changed until people on AVS forums figure it out

Yep they've managed to upload a corrupt zip file. It's the same across all European websites. I've tried Samsung DE, NL and SK.....all the same.
I'm not on twitter or Facebook. Can someone let them know?
It's on the back. There's a sticker near where you plug in the One Connect box. Look for 'Version'.
I'm in Europe and mine says '03'. Anyone know which panel I have?

Does anyone know if battlefield 1 on Xbox one supports HDR yet?
If I want to test uniformity using that Rtings white cross image, do I need to put the backlight or brightness to max? Anything else I should do? I assume I put the picture on a USB stick and then somehow navigate to it in the TV's settings.
My UK KS7000 (equiv. to US KS8000) is arriving tomorrow, but I've not really got any experience with testing this sort of thing. I bought the TV because of various reviews, including the positive comments on here.

There is no HDMI port on the back of the TV. Everything runs through the One Connect box and all HDMI ports work exactly the same/have the same capability.
Do you even have this TV?

What are the correct settings for a js8500? What should I have dynamic contrast at with hdr and is there a setting I need to toggle to enable proper 10 bit support or does that all just happen in when hdr is automatically enabled?
noomi
Member
Dynamic Contrast seems to be on on-going debate for many. Some say no, because it ruins the picture. Some say yes, because without it HDR is too dim.. Use whichever setting your eyes like the most.
I use Dynamic Contrast Low for SDR content, and Medium for HDR content.
Should happen automaticaly, make sure you have the UHD Color setting turned on for all of your inputs.
Is there any way to download the videos from that HDR playlist on youtube and play them properly from a flashdrive later without having to go on youtube and find them etc ? I know you can just download them, but can you get them with the proper resolution/bitrate and HDR intact ?

There are many links to download HDR videos from Samsung & LG among other ones as well.
Almost all of these are the same ones on youtube, it is missing a few however.

I'll test it later but I have to stress that I did see ringing at 17 (feel like a broken record now). Is it possible people testing it that are seeing blur under 20 are using RGB mode?
Heres a side by side of the image from that video test (link) I did.
Left is sharpness 0, right is sharpness 17. This is a closeup of marcus' forehead in a cutscene from watch dogs 2 running on PS4 Pro. There is a reddish outline which is bloom that is kinda ruining this comparison. Easier to see in person. Or I should take better pictures. But notice how there is a very subtle dark outline running along the outline of his forehead on the right one. That is ringing. It's subtle, but its there. The console is not outputting that ringing. It's the TV sharpening filter.
edit:
seeing other people in this thread are realizing that it is exactly as rtings stated. 0, unless you're in PC mode in which case its 50. And as I demonstrated above, the artifacts are even there under 20.
FedEx Freight picked it up at my house. You'll get a return label sent to you and then you schedule a pick up.
Aw I was hoping the Edgerton Park and New England Forest Fall videos from the youtube playlist were on there but no luck.
Yeah had the same issue. Damn it Samsung!

Does anyone ever adjust the brightness in game?
With the Samsung Ks8000 all the images that say adjust the brightness until is barely visible never truly become "barely visible" I'm starting to doubt my settings
Anyone with this problem?
For the record here are the games that I tested.
I've tested Dark souls 2
LET IT DIE
Final Fantasy XV
King of Fighters XIV

I keep it at default usually. Imo Those sliders are for uncalibrated tv's and are subjective. If you actually do it until barely visible forza horizon 3 gets way darker than it should.
