Make sure you don't have the "alternative update" highlighted because that happened to me which meant my TV didn't take the update. If this is highlighted, all you have to do is click it and your TV will turn off and then back on with the 1046.2 update.

Nice cars man! Is that a Mercedes CLS In front of the BMW? I had one of those for a couple years and loved it. Cars is my main hobby, before electronics anyways..biggrin.gif
LOL.Yes thats a CLS500 very sexy just like the 8000 very sexy and a BMW 335i twin turbo great cars. I love cars and electronics.And my wife too.LMAO

Yes, that is also great.

But this is still good info. Do you own the C750 from 2010? I ask because that's what this is from and I actually had this in a 46" when it came out..I don't own it anymore, but it was the last Samsung or only Samsung that was a LCD 3D and not a LED 3D. It was decent though..

Just click on "click for more info" and it will bring you to the Staff product research team for this specific ES8000 TV

Our Product Research Team
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

I also would recommend clicking on the link that Pursut posted. The more info we all read, the better we understand this stuff

Same here man! My whole family is big on "German" cars. We have a big collection here..lol!
Out of those, my Favorite is the Benz.. People either love em, or hate them. And usually the ones that hate them, are the ones that love BMWs. My all time favorite car is an "italian" car. The Maserati sedan.. I have tons of pics if you want to see, just PM me. You must have a really cool wife too! Garnoch has one of those as well smile.gif

Can it be configured to start up on a selected input vs the "hub"? All my source equipment is rack mounted in another room. A AVR is doing all the source switching so only one HDMI input will be used. As such, I only wish it to come on to the input connected to the AVR.
I will connect it to the internet but don't plan to use that feature much.

Yes its can. I use a Harmony 900 and the ES will start up up based on whatever Activity I select. It only start up in the Hub when I select it to start up that way. Congrats and good luck!

My favorite thing about my set up is that all my equipment is in the room behind the wall the TV is on. Everyone always asks me where all my stuff is. I love the clean look!

Another great pic. Nice Jestered. Gear behind the wall is my goal too with my next house. Very nice.

Note: You can adjust and store Picture Settings for each external device connected to the TV.
Motion Lighting: The TV automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen in response to the brightness of the room. In bright light, the screen brightens. In dim light, the screen dims.

LED Motion Plus: This function removes drag from fast scenes with a lot of movement to provide a clear picture.

HDMI Black Level: You can select the black level on the screen to adjust the screen depth when you have a component connected via HDMI to the television. You can select either Normal or Low.

Noise Filtration: The Samsung TV provides digital noise and MPEG noise filtration.

Digital Noise Filter: If the broadcast signal received by your TV is weak, you can activate the Digital Noise Reduction feature to help reduce any static and ghosting that may appear on the screen. You can select Low, Medium, High, Auto, or Off.
MPEG Noise Filter: This filter reduces MPEG noise of the picture. You can set the MPEG Noise Filter to Low, Medium, High, Auto, or Off.
Film Mode: The TV can be set to automatically sense and process film signals from all sources and adjust the picture from optimum quality. Film mode is supported in TV, AV, Component (480i/1080i),

If anyone else is interested in reading a lot more to this, check out Crutchfield.com and look up the 55" ES8000. Then click on "get more info" and a ton of info will show.

Garnoch, this would be good to add to your guide. Not just what I posted since the stuff I posted everyone pretty much knows about, but the rest of this info that I didn't post. I learned some things from it myself.

As far as the CE workaround goes, that was very helpful. I used it all the time, but now after the update, My picture isn't dimming like it used to and I'm wondering if its because of my settings. It would be very nice if Samsung will tell us which settings helps with this, because I'm trying to figure out why Im able to have my brightness at 45-46 and not have the CE dimming issue anymore. I can even put my brightness on 42 and not have that issue. But, 42 is too low

Great stuff, thanks, man! I think all of that is already in the guide so what I'll do is just add the link itself to it. They have Motion Lighting wrong though - they described the Eco Sensor. Motion Lighting reduces power consumption by reducing screen brightness when the picture on the screen is in motion.

Hi guys. I've been trying to find a solution to a really, really, really irritating problem I'm having.

I have my ES8000 hooked up to my HT via the Optical Out on the TV. However, When I'm watching anything that has Dolby Digital AC3 5.1, be it Netflix, PLEX, BBC iPlayer, or playing from USB HDD, If I pause, FF or RW the Movie, I lose the 5.1 soundtrack and it outputs PCM. The only guaranteed way to get it back is by navigating to the Sound Menu's SPDIF setting and switching to from Dolby Digital to PCM then back to Dolby Digital. At first I thought it was my Optical Cable or HT on the blink, However I use the same Optical Cable for the Xbox 360 and Blu-ray player (Sadly my HT only has the one Optical input)

Has anybody else had this issue? If so... HOW DO I FIX IT? IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE!!!

Erm... So, yeah, any help welcome.

This is what I thought too, but when I enable it, its working amazing. As you can see in the last pic I posted, I'm getting pitch black letter box bars now. Idk, if this is from that setting or not though, but when I try it without using the Eco sensor, I love what I see.

Just another reason why its best to try all different things. Like try Eco on with that setting, and then try Eco off with the Motion brightness. I really think it mean that the picture dims from the motion in the room though. Atleast that's what I see anyways. Maybe the new FW fixed it, who knows.. For all we know, that helps the Micro dimming too..lol! The point is, we really don't know what looks good or bad until we try it after every FW update since Samsung doesn't give us patch notes on these friggin updates which is really bothering me now.

Consumers shouldn't have to be so confused when they buy a TV. Imagine all the folks that just set it up and leave it the way it is and not get the TVs full potential. This motion brightness setting has been in older models that I've had, but I never used it before until just recently.

Why do many recommend setting Sharpness to Zero? I have done this after I reset my TV and installed 1046 because someone posted their settings. Someone else said the same thing awhile back. Something about not needing to sharpen digital content. I'll be interested in what happens when the dude gets his meter this week too. I'll tell you, the Superbowl looked awesome yesterday. The Baltimore helmets! Also watched the golf tournament (on TV and in person).

Hey man, welcome to this wonderful thread!

I haven't had this issue. Not that I'm aware of anyway. I will try mine and see if it does this though. Did you set your Receiver to use the optical out when you use the Smart hub? What Kind of AVR are you using? I know I had to set my Onkyo to use the Optical output whenever I want audio to go through the AVR from the TVs source.

People say this and I think for true video enthusiast that's the correct thing to do, but I like my sharpness set to 15-20 usually.

Good luck man! Let us know how it comes out. Try using the default settings at first and then tweak to how you like. You will have to tone down the reds right away though using standard mode. Try lowering the color to 48-49 and drop the brightness down to 45-46. Also the color temp will be set to native I think, try auto and see how that looks. Also, play around with the black time and dynamic contrast. I wouldn't recommend the high setting though..

The AMP plus seems to work in Clear for everyone.. If you want to use movie mode, try out Garnochs settings.

Speaking of Home theaters.. Here's a pic of Lamar's

http://www.electronichouse.com/article/khloe_kardashian_and_lamar_odom_remodel_with_pro_audio_technology/P12?utm_source=EH_Connect&utm_medium=email

Here's a great place to buy Home theater racks for your equipment behind those walls. A little pricy, so I recommend if you see one you like, Google the name to see if its cheaper elsewhere first

When I mess with it in Menu I don't notice much of a difference between 0 and 20 like you do when you use it editing photos. When I do that turning it up too high makes the photo "clip". Not so much on the TV.

You are SO right - consumers shouldn't have to be so confused about what things are. In fact, I couldn't Motion Lighting in Samsung's support docs anywhere and have to look for outside sources for the Guide. So you may have a very interesting find. Are you saying it is possible that you are getting better uniformity partially because of having Motion Lighting on? I've tried it on and have seen nothing, but I've never tried it on with Eco off. I'll give that a shot for fun, thanks. Last night during the game, I was driving my wife and oldest daughter nuts but changing setting haha. No one else seemed to care though. Movie, Standard, Eco on/off, Black Enhancer on/off, Dynamic Contrast on/off, etc. The game looked amazing, but I will say that I don't think live sports look as good as post produced programs. The commercials looked insanely good. Some of the cameras for the game that are far away get washed out though being they're not really color graded and doing everything on the fly. The close cameras though, even the one floating above the field looked amazing. It really got me thinking though. Broadcast TV at 4k is simply a long way off, but man would I love to see 1080p TV.

Hmm! I know on my Plasmas I keep sharpness at 0, but for my LEDs, I keep mine at 15-20. I notice something off only if I get up close to the screen, but from a distance, I don't see much difference either.

Lets forget broadcast TV and talk about VHS and Blu-ray to show an extreme. Sharpening any picture, analog or digital, is adding processing that wasn't intended in the master picture. With analog signals though, images can be quite crappy and soft, so adding sharpness could help put some definition back into the program. A digital signal though isn't doing that, so adding sharpness is just changing the original picture and there's no need for it. Plus, to once again go to an extreme, turn Sharpness up to 50 or even 100 and you can see what it's doing to the picture. That being said, although I could easily and happily live at a Sharpness of 0, after using the WOW disc, I like adding just a touch of definition, so anywhere between 10 and 20 is good with me, normally sitting between 14 and 17.

Months ago we had talked about this here actually and many of us, including myself, confirmed it was an issue. I'm surprised it wasn't fixed by now. At the time, we were just testing Netflix. Whoever was dealing with it had Netflix telling them it was a Samsung issue and Samsung saying it was a Netflix app issue. If I remember correctly, another way around it was to stop and push play again, picking up where you left off. Another way, I think was to momentarily rewind again and it would come back.

So you're connected to an antenna? I'm not so I'm not sure I'll be much help but I'll bump this post for you and say that there must be a place to Auto Program after the TV was initially set up. Or do a full reset (this will wipe your settings so write them down first) and then the TV will start from scratch again. During that process, here is what the manual says.....

Select the appropriate option for your TV using your remote, and then
select Next.
• Yes, I need to.: Select if you have an antenna or a cable connection without a set-top box. If you select this option, go to 6 - Auto Program (2) Step.
• No, I don’t need to.: Select if you have a satellite or cable set-top box. You do not need to run Auto Program. If you select this option, go to 8 - Clock on the next page.
1. Select Air or Cable using your remote. A check appears on your selection. When done, select Next. You can check both if you have both connected.
2. If you selected Air, go to 7 - Auto Program (3).
3. If you selected Cable, you’ll go to the cable system screen. Select Digital Cable System. The option window appears. Select the correct cable signal format; STD, HRC, or IRC. Most cable systems use STD (Standard). Repeat the same process with Analog Cable System.
4. When done, select Next.
Channel memorization stars. Channel memorization can take up to 45
minutes, depending on your cable system.
For more information, refer to Auto Program (Channel Menu → Memorizing Channels) in the e-Manual.
✎ Select Stop at any time to halt the memorization process.

I don't know how it is in the UK but on this side of the pond a lot of the limited program guide has to do with PSIP and how the station had it programmed. Even TVGOS, which used to broadcast TV Guide Programming has, or is, going by the wayside here.

The best picture on a TV I ever seen. My buddys freak out.Keep up the testing.Great job.

If you decide to try what I've been using and aren't using any test patterns, I'd say set overall Color to wherever looks good to your eyes and not necessarily where I have it (52) because I can't understand why I had to bump it up to 52 after the last update to get the same effect. It may be a glitch. Other people who have recently posted settings are Prsut and Eagle. Two others earlier in this thread, if you want to try them, are Turboman123's and Nitra's. I think Turbo's is post 8005 and Nitra's can actually be found by going to my profile because I saved a direct link there. Mine can be found in my profile too or by clicking the link in my signature under this post.
Jestered might have posted settings too, but I didn't test his so I'm not sure he posted anything.
Also, I agree with Anthony that you should feel free to try some of the default modes first too, but in addition to what he suggested, I'll also suggest to turn Sharpness down to between 0 and 20 and to turn off extras (like but not limited to Black Tone and Dynamic Contrast) just to see what you like on or off.
As for resetting, I'm not sure what to do. I did see changes after a reset, but my Movie mode 52 Color stayed the same. I'm either never going to do a reset again or do it every time after an update before tweaking my settings. I'm now leaning towards going through the hassle of resetting each time.
Good luck!

Try lowering the color to 48-49 and drop the brightness down to 45-46. Also the color temp will be set to native I think, try auto and see how that looks. Also, play around with the black time and dynamic contrast. I wouldn't recommend the high setting though..

Heres a few pics of my set up.Please excuse my room needs to be cleaned and not quite finshed with construction. I Had a very nice Onkyo 806 but it took a crap and it was going to cost way to much to have repaired.Went back to my old faithful Yamaha. Havent decided what to get.

Anthony5362, i have been trying to ask you this question, but always forget every time reading this thread. anyway, i see that you were one of the bunch that has noticed the jaw-dropping pictures this new update has given, so i wanted to ask you; prior to this update, did you have any custom picture settings or it was the default un-tweaked settings? myself and along with others have noticed minimal differences after the update, and i've done the tv reset a few times as well-but not noticing any big difference. btw, i have the banded 65".
