HDR in retail release

Re: HDR in retail release

I would suggest turning on dynamic contrast when viewing hdr content on a Samsung tv

I'd advise the complete opposite. Go on movie mode and allow HDR there as it would give the best most accurate colors. Dynamic is too saturated and un natural looking. Movie mode then activate game mode and you have the closest to a good calibrated picture. On my TV HDR looks amazing.

Which TV model do you have??

I am asking because I have a Samsung Ks8000 and I cant activate game mode within movie mode because game mode defaults to the standard picture mode and you cant change it to any other picture mode while game mode is activated.

Good luck on a Vizio... The only people that are gonna enjoy HDR are people with $3k OLED TVs... Not me.

Not true...HDR looks best on Samsung high end models that have excellent nits which is the main driving force for HDR

OLED is not as bright as LED from Samsung which means HDR looks best on Samsung sets

If you have a Samsung KS8000 or higher you will see a beautiful image on xbox one s because ps4 does not have it yet on nba 2K and jury is out what type of hdr they are releasing as they have 1.4 hdmi not 2.0 as xbox one S

Vizio and mid tier samsungs have average HDR tech and it wont look as good as the High End Models from Samsung I mentioned above

I have the same tv as you. What firmware are you on? It allows me to do it on mine.

I rented NBA2K17 on the Xbox to try out the HDR and it looks great. The crazy thing is that the Xbox isn't using the wide color gamut for gaming only for streaming media. I can imagine when the wide color gamut is used. Very impressed with HDR. I'm also wondering how the PS4 will do HDR with HDMI 1.4. It's a wait and see at this point.

Yea put your input in movie mode then turn on game mode. You'll have to make some adjustments. I had to lower the backlight because stock it looks too bright.

I think my issue is I don't have any HDR content to see what my TV can do, until this patch comes out for 2k17, I have a feeling it wont look as good as the Xbox One S since Ps4 doesn't support HDMI 2.0.

There's HDR content on Netflix and Amazon and our tv's have those apps built in. As far as gaming yea I don't see how this is going to work on the PS4 until the pro. Nba2k17 was the 1st time I played any game in HDR but that was on the Xbox and I rented that copy to see how it looked. I was very impressed. The great thing about these sets is how low input lag is while gaming in HDR. I believe it's the lowest out of all sets now. The vizio P series is doing really bad as far as input lag and it seems like the HDR10 update on the vizios is very bad as everyone who owns that tv says NBA2K17 looks washed out and bad.

Re: HDR in retail release

I don't like my TV in movie mode. Everything looks dim and doesn't have that clean look to it. I prefer dynamic.

I meant Natural Mode not dynamic

Which Firmware update do you have I read on others forums that Samsung is sending out updated Firmware to some TVs but not all of them at the same time.

Re: HDR in retail release

For those with 4K tvs with HDR capability....what settings are you using? I have a Samsung ks8000 and initially it looked washed out but I've tweaked and got it looking a lot better but definitely open to suggestions because id like it to look as good as possible

I have the same TV but even with tweaks I think the colors are more vibrant with it off I too would love to try some suggestions for the best HDR settings for gaming not movies

movie mode is best if you want reference accuracy

if you are use to burn retinas dynamic or neutral then it will be hard to adjust to movie mode but stick with it and you wont go back

Check Rtings.com I'm using their movie settings. I've been using movie on my other sets too so it's almost impossible for me to use the other overly bright and saturated color settings. Once you use movie after a while you'll never be able to use anything else.
