Official Samsung UNxxES8000 Owner's Thread - Page 391

I really don't get it either. I tried playing around with it tonight to see if I can pin point what its doing and I can't. It doesnt make sense. Also, I have never even heard of anyone using this setting before. And when you look online, there's not many good explanations about it. Not only that, there's different descriptions in different places. I wish Samsung was more clear on exactly what these settings do and don't do, and which settings enables this Micro Dimming and which ones don't. I tried to get this info for everyone here back in Oct. I Tried over and over, call after call, and Sent many Emails to the Ofiice of the Presidents office asking them to please send my questions off to the engineers because there are many owners of these TVs that want to know these things so we can get the best out of these TVs. I was supposed to receive an Email with this info, but never did. Also, some other members on here sent some Emails to them as well with no response. So, this is why I just decided to try them out for myself and try to analyze what its doing and which settings help.

This is the description from one place on the two settings. This kinda makes me even more confused.


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.


Eco Sensor: Samsung's unique Eco light sensor measures the intensity of the room's light and automatically calibrates the brightness of the image on the screen. In a sun-filled environment, the screen gets brighter and in dim surroundings, the intensity is reduced. This feature optimizes the viewing experience while also saving you energy.
Energy Saver: This feature adjust the brightness of the TV in order to reduce power consumption. When watching TV at night, set the Energy Saver feature to High to reduce eye fatigue as well as power consumption. You can set this feature to High, Medium, Low, or Picture Off (sound remains on).
No Signal Standby: The TV will automatically switch to standby mode, if no picture is being received for a predetermined set amount of time (15, 30, or 60 minutes).
Auto Power Off: The TV will be automatically turn off after 4 hours of being left idle to prevent overheating.

I would agree a separate thread, but a lot of people here are already followimg the F8000 and Evo kit thread and its not easy keeping up with all these different threads..lol!

A few people have just told me that they are having a hard time just keeping up with this thread since its been so busy after the FW update. What's good about this forum is, if your looking for a specific post, its very easy to find it. There's a search area to search all the posts in this entire thread. Its also nice to do what Garnoch has done and add links to your avatars. Maybe that's the best place for users calibrated settings? I think another thread will make this awesome thread go downhill there's not a lot of theses on a TV model as big as this one, and the bigger it is, the more people come here and visit it. It will die down very soon though I imagine since the Bladerunner update is in the past now

And if you start a new thread with calibration settings, what's going to happen when the Evo kit comes out and everyone updates to the Evo kit? I could care less, as I travel so much between the US and Italy and sometimes have to go on location when filming, but I'm thinking about the newbies that come here and the regulars here. So, either way is fine.

My suggestion would be if you don't do a separate thread, for everyone that has done their calibrations to do what Garnoch did and post them with a link to their Avatar.

Also a new thread would mean that certain member who was banned for their sarcasm and fighting with everyone would be posting there correct?

Lol! OH yes I probably would. Lol! I literally wouldn't have any hair left in my head having to focus that long on something like that

Do you guys want a separate thread so a G can post there with sarcasm since they can't here? I'm just curious about this, because this is a awesome thread that became like its own little community thanks to Garnoch and others putting tireless time into it

++++900000000

Same here! This thread has turned into a awesome little community of its own because of Garnoch and others here. This would just ruin it. So I vote against it also and I hope others really think about this hard before they vote for it


guys, the Evo kits right around the corner. Who wants to have to check like 3 different thread for their TV? That's just wrong to have others have to do that. Plus also remember, there were members banned here. Both start with a G and they will be able to post in this new thread

My loyal Bladerunner and Garnoch, and Ricosuave! Love you guys man!

No ones answering my question if this new thread is so the two G's can post in there since they can't in here.. Hmm! I will take that as a yes then. Guys please rethink this. This means G' Oline will be there also. Just post your calibrations like The celebrity in here, Garnoch has done. Its that simple. You can re toast them from time to time like Nitra does when he pops in here
