Got my tv yesterday.
Watched the horizon zero Dawn opening in hdr on YouTube.
My mouth was literally agape. I can't believe how that game looks.
Fighting the urge to buy a PS4 pro. I might check it out on the base ps4 in hdr and hope it still wows me.
I just inspected my tv after reading about the back panel separation and my top left corner is slightly separated.
Should I return it and get a replacement? I feel like this is gonna be a pain ass. Dammit!

The TV is on its way to become rarer than a Vita at retail, so whatever you do, you should probably be quick about it. If you can ignore it, I'm not aware of it having any I'll effects for the picture, but I get that it's annoying as hell when you spot it.
And Yes, Horizon is bonkers. Went from that to Persona which is quite the difference. The TV does a good job at eliminating jaggies in P5 luckily.
From the "Is this the fabeled best gaming TV? (Samsung KS8000)" Thread:
Anybody experienced this? This is the first I've seen this.

Yep. It happens once in a while for me on a european KS7000.
None of the firmware updates ever fixed it
Probably 2-3 seconds. I had it happen last night in Gears of War 4 and hadn't seen it for possibly...20 hours or more of real-time gaming. You can make it happen on PS4 by triggering HDR modes on and off in a game, but it's impossible to predict why it happens in Xbox One.
So, it appears to be a problem with the port on the TV's input box. I switched my PS4 to a different input and haven't seen the stuck pixels again - so far.
Anyone else have wall mount recommendations? I am afraid to get one that is full motion because I'll be mounting near a door. So it'd worry me too much that someone would put it over just a little too far and then some one would walk in unannounced something like that. What I'd like is a tilt mount that extended a bit more. Only thing I've really found is a Sanus for $130. Only extends a little more than 5" though. Might just get that one.

I expect to be kicked out of this thread, but can I get some advice with best sony bravia 49x700D ps4 pro calibration? I set contrast and motion blur to max lol it looks good, but something tells me I'm doing it wrong.
Have you checked rtings.com or avs forums? Both excellent resources for settings.

Note: check the first question beneath the settings article. It's about ps4 pro setup with the set. Enjoy.

I know it won't help you be reasonable but the youtube videos of Horizon, even in HDR, are not providing any justice to the actual game running on a Pro. No games look like it, nothing, even on my gaming PC (not talking about raw power options, just general look).
It is by far the best showcase content I have for this TV.
I agree. I use Horizon to sell my friends on the Pro. It's astonishing how good it looks on this TV.

Jesus. It already looked better than anything I've seen by far. This channel has a lot of other good stuff, too.
I recommend anyone that hasn't played horizon and has this tv to check this out ASAP.

Auto works best for me. Native sometimes ends up with crushed blacks and oversaturated colors.

Horizon is one of those games where I see a gigantic difference between hdr and no hdr. It really is stunning looking with these sets (and I only have a standard PS4!)Got my tv yesterday.

Yeah, and you can change in the menu so you can easily compare.

How is the cable from the standard PS4 for HDR ? I still have some problems to see HDR effects on PS4 and Xbox One S (but HDR content on the integrated youtube app is Amazing).
The PS4 cable is not rated 18gbps.
I put the colour space settings on native for cable, else most content looks washed out like you say.

Are you talking about gaming with HDR? If so, the TV does not automatically adjust the backlight to 20 when in "game mode." So you must manually change the settings.

Ah. Thanks man. I was wondering why it would get so dark.
Thanks for the response. I'll try that out and see if it makes a difference.
Yes. Be aware that you have to enable HDMI UHD color on each port you plan on using with 4k HDR.
Found somewhere within the TV's settings?

Dynamic contrast on "high" for everything. It looks so good.
I've also warmed up to "warm1" (no pun intended) and "standard" doesn't look better anymore.

Afaik, yes all ports are 4k/HDR compatible. As for the Switch issue, I don't think anyone has an answer for that. I haven't run into any issues though, but I have all my stuff plugged to my receiver.
The only trick I know of for separate HDR/non HDR settings and low input lag is to use PC mode, but be aware that color may look a bit off (too saturated for instance).

You can now watch the Full Throttle Remaster intro in 4K/60. Looks great on this panel!

Just making sure, I've been using the rtings settings in game mode(color settings unchanged, not warm tinted) but due to colorblindness, I have issues adjusting screens by sight. I should set it to hdmi black level medium rather than auto and make sure RGB range full is set on the Switch console right? All I notice between auto and low for hdmi black is a much darker screen, but I want it to be set correctly for friends when Mario Kart comes out.
@Ghostshark On the TV HDMI Black Level should be at Normal I don't own a switch yet but if the switch has a setting for RGB level Full set it to that. If you own a PS4 put RGB level to Full hope that helps
I have the 60" KS7000 and aside from some light bleed I've been quite happy with it over the last few months. Do give your advice on the following though: when I look at the panel from the side (which is not that often), I spot some weird discoloration when viewing certain colors.
When you look directly at the panel, you can't see it. It can only be seen from the right side and in a certain spot. It doesn't look like dust or anything, seems like it's inside the tv.
Like I said: you can only spot it from the side, which is why I've only seen it just yesterday. My warranty is probably invalid by now (got it in october) I guess. Any ideas?
Oh, and I had my wife (I'm a clutz) clean the spot very softly, but it looks like it isn't a stain or whatever. We made a point of not touching the tv EVER because of the horror stories about cleaning.

The Disney WOW disc is a great way to calibrate your TV it doesn't beat the hardware calibration but it's a great alternate and doesn't cost as much. There's also a free disc burning setup disc for calibrating http://www.avsforum.com/forum/139-display-calibration/948496-avs-hd-709-blu-ray-mp4-calibration.html
I just started playing Horizon on my KS8000, am I missing something? HDR is enabled, I must have the wrong settings because I don't see it. It was more pronounced with FF15, what settings should I have brightness, contrast, and sharpness at? It's in game mode and on standard. What gives?
Are you guys certain? Because at the first link, on rtings it says about turning on that option: "To get sharper text while using the TV as a PC monitor enable HDMI UHD Color."
http://ca.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ks8000/settings
After I turned that on I got black screen flicker again. I've turned it off and have not seen it since.
Edit: While the above is quoted in the actual settings article, the HDMI UHD Color topic comes up frequently in the Q&A. Not sure why they didn't mention it specifically in the settings piece.
If you get flicker with UHD color on, get better HDMI cables. Essentially the setting enabled 4:4:4 color space support.
Notice it more in certain areas. I find the cauldrons show the best differences in HZD. Try flicking it on and off in areas near bright lights. Machine sparks look better with it on and so does things like sunlight. If you have your PS4 set to YUV420 you won't get 10-bit colour, needs to be set to Auto or RGB (which then automatically changes to YUV 422 for HDR content). Admittedly though the HDR doesn't always stand out as much as with other games, maybe cos it looks pretty awesome anyway.
These are the settings I have:
Game mode
Backlight 20
Brightness 45
Contrast 100
Sharpness 0
Gamma 0
Colour 55
Dynamic Contrast Off
UHD Colour Enabled
Colour Tone Warm 1
Usually is, but I was told on the Pro that it limits the YUV420 output to 8-bit. Could have been misinformed.
Laxu I switched to port 4, used a different cable.
After an hour with Second Son and about the same with Horizon and MEA no flicker since.
And I turned the option on on port 4.
So. Crazy.

Afaik, you also need to be in PC mode to get 4:4:4

Ok, nice. I've been using the WOW bluray for a couple years now. I've trusted it a lot, so I'd hate to find out that there was something better (outside of professional calibration). This TV currently looks amazing to me for SDR and HDR content, at least.
