Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Thanks man. But I'm not sure if my TV does auto HDR. I heard some companies name it different things so I'm wondering if it may be called UHD Color? I have that enabled on HDMI 1 which is what my PS4 uses.

I'll try to mess with the backlight and contrast and see what happens. I haven't been able to get on the PS4 today.

Hope it helps, because I'm pretty bummed out it looks so bad.

The KU6500 has a 10 bit panel which is excellent but it doesn't have a wide color gamut (wcg) so that could definitely be causing you to have a lesser picture. Below is a site I used when researching 4KTV's and you can find out a lot of good info just by searching and reading. I used the below site for info from those who have the TV and I used rtings.com for reviews and more info. I have the Sony X800D if you're wondering. Site below has a topic for pretty much every 4KTV. Hope this helps.

So I turned the backlight all the way up and the contrast as well and now I'm getting a stunning look in NBA 2K17.

Thanks for the help

I haven't had to touch anything backlight wise and my hdr looks fine. I've never had the dimming issue. Not sure if the Ks8000 handles it itself or if I changed a setting during setup that takes care of it.

If your tv isn't dimming that means you don't have it on game mode. When watching any HDR content your backlight needs to be maxed, smart LED set to high and color space to Native. These are recommended settings from RTINGS, AVSFORUM and CNET. You should have 2 settings, one for SDR content and one for HDR and your tv will save the settings as long as you're on standard or movie mode. Samsung has yet to release the update for picture settings to adjust while in game mode and you play in HDR. The only way to get the best out of HDR gaming or movies is by applying the settings I stated above. If you're on game mode and the game is HDR you will notice it get dim and then you have to manually change your settings for HDR content. Hopefully Samsung can release the update so you no longer have to manually change the picture settings. Also, if you're not in game mode remember that outside of game mode this tv is over 100ms of input lag. It'll be unbearable and almost unplayable for shooters and games like MLB the show.

I checked last night. My back light is maxed i play gears 4, gta, forza, 2k, NHL etc in dynamic mode and notice no input lag at all. Im sure there is some. Just not enough for me to bother with. I don't use game mode at all. I hop from hdr content to standard hd pretty frequently and don't notice much of an issue. Only time I do is watching a couple certain shows. I'll switch over to standard for them.

Try playing MLB the show and try batting lol. You'll notice it instantly. Make sure you also put smart LED on high and color space on Native when gaming in HDR. IDK how you watch your tv in dynamic. It's so saturated and artificial looking lol..

Looks great to me. And I'd rather not switch settings daily. I'll check out your recommendations though. Any chance you can just reply to this with exactly what I should do in standard mode so it's all in one post?

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

With the next firmware supporting USB external hard drives was wondering can I still use the 500GB drive that's installed? Do I have to transfer everything over to the external? Just curious as I've never used an external before. Thanks.

No. You don't have to tranfer your existing data over to external if you don't want. You can simply hook up an external drive and set everything from that point forward to download/install to the external drive.

Can you please post all of your settings for gaming Artman? I am 99% sure all of mine are right but want to make sure. I got my settings from rtings.com and one other site (AVS forums I believe) in regards to what to do.

You have the same TV as me, right?

I think he's thinking of like a Tivo or a DVR. When you add an external to those you can no longer use the internal hard drive. Thank goodness that's not the case on game consoles.

Ok thanks for the info. What about when there's an update for a game on the installed hard drive does it still download there? Also do firmware updates still go to the installed drive as well? Sorry for all the questions just like to know what to expect when I pick up an external at some point.

Picked up PS4 slim uncharted bundle + WWE 2k17 with all of the DLC + PS Plus + preordered Friday the 13th: The Game plus all of the DLC and got out for about $415. I'd say I got out pretty good.

Once I get home tonight I'll post it here for you. I have the flat ks8000, but the settings should be similar.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I just fired up Ghost Recon Wildlands Open beta on the PS4 Pro and the new Samsung 4K tv and wow, makes the closed beta I played on the Xbox One look like straight up garbage.

Thank goodness this game supports HDR. And I like how the first time they drop you into the game you're facing the sun and it's near blinding, LOL
