I think it looks really great, picture quality wise. But it's a pity it's only an average film, everything-else wise.

(The following mini-rant is more appropriate if the film in question was "Gods of Egypt" which is far worse, but I'll include it anyway):
I know this is an AV forum so people will want to show off their systems to friends and family. But still, have some taste . I'm just surprised at the number eager to rush out and buy any and every film that looks great, even if it's a rubbish film. What's the point of that? To me this makes no sense at all. For example:
I'd buy "Citizen Kane" in black and white 4:3 VHS.
I would NOT buy "Pixels" in 4k HDR.
Just saying!

Must be specific to your location. I get very good BBC News apps.

Push the leg in VERY HARD. There are two click positions: you need to get it to the second one. To remove the leg, you then pull very hard.

Glad you like the picture, it's a brilliant TV IMHO

Excellent! You're welcome

Please bear in mind that HDR isn't supposed to "pop". That might be why you think there's something wrong when there isn't? You could be seeing what the director intended.
Basic troubleshooting:

• Make sure you have enabled Picture/Expert settings/HDMI UHD Color=ON for the HDMI socket number to which your UHD Blu-Ray player is connected.
• Check you get the "An HDR video is playing" message when it plays (HDMI inputs only).
• Make sure you are in either "Movie" or "Standard" modes when watching HDR material, all the time. Forget the other modes.
• The above information is all in the e-manual built into the set. It's worth spending some time reading it. There are also "try it now" links. Have a play.
• (If you're a gamer, "Game" mode is a 3rd mode which can display HDR but needs manual adjustments between HDR and SDR)
• Test HDR works and you can see it. Download Samsung HDR - Chasing the Light demo, put it on a USB drive, connect it to the One Connect Box, and play it. Again, always be in either "Movie" or "Standard" modes. (NB This demo does "pop" - because it's a demo designed to pop to the max and sell the TV. Normal HDR content shouldn't "pop" all the time, otherwise there's nowhere to go for the occasional "poppy" moments).

I must have missed it, I'll check again today thanks.

you can use any set of settings that look great too you. all panels are different. movie is best in a darkened room, natural is good with more natural light and and standard is sort of between natural and dynamic. Believe HDR is only standard and movie thou. Ratings have some good settings but i dont think nay1 uses it exactly. There are dozens of sites with different settings if you google them. There is a reason people hire some1 to calibrate their tv. No person on here can tell you how to set up your tv except where to start and what settings do what.

Another thing that can help make the colors pop more is to adjust the gamma slider on the TV down a notch or two.

For better audio you are better off sending the PS4 straight to the Soundbar and then using then using the other ARC HDMI port on the soundbar to send video to the TV. This is of course if the sound bar has 2 or more HDMI ports. No guarantee that the SoundBar supports 4K HDR though...

Last night I was messing around with my Nvidia shield and some 4K HDR bluray rips. Specifically Pacific Rim. I noticed when using Kodi there is a setting that essentially turns on and off HDR. I went back and forth with that setting and was blown away by the difference. The colors are initially what stand out but then you notice a lot more appropriate light levels and detail for everything.

While I have not tested it myself. At least not until I purchase my new AVR... It has been noted that a 4K60p upscaling receiver is able to convert the video so that you can turn judder reduction up to 10 with no increase in SOE. Just a smooth picture. It also gets rid of the horrid frame skips from ABC programming.

Received yesterday , i ended up getting a AA02 Panel. Took me about 2 hrs just to un-box it and lift it myself on to the TV stand. Once i got it on there i did a flashlight inspection as you recommended. I could not see any back panel separation but i did notice some indents/dimples towards the top back side of the TV. The screen had what looked liked dried water splash marks across the entire screen. i quickly grabbed a soft clothe mixed a drop of iso alcohol and water and wiped it down which did not work. I than just used some water which happened to clear most of it. It appeared as if they possibly sprayed the tv with air before shipping to clean the screen and that was maybe from condensation.

I got everything hooked up , took me about a hour to figure out why i was not getting sound from optical , this was due to my receiver's port being set to hdmi and i had to manual go in and assign a port to optical , it was a real pain trying to do it with just the remote so i hooked it up via hdmi so i could see the onscreen menu , got it all sorted out and reverted back to optical. Sound is very nice and all 7.1 channels seem to be working , whether it is correct or not it sounds nice to me.

I did not have a chance to run your test screens yet as everything took to long and the night was almost over , i'll have to save them to my youtube account and try tonight. So here are my problems so far , like many have said , cable tv looks horrible. My 1yr old bottom of line lg 4k provides a better picture watching cable. 1st thing that i noticed was the bottom and top of the TV had the black bars while watching cable , i went into my cable box settings and noticed it was on 1080p , switched to 1080i and that solved the problem , powered the TV off again and on and i had the same problem again. This time switched to 720p and it fixed it , than back to 1080i and it was all good again . I hope this does not continue to happen as all settings seemed to stay the same in the menu. Cable Tv does look horrible to me though , i will search the forum for a fix but i doubt there is one as i have tried every setting.

Next i tried Amazon , youtube and netflix 4k and hdr and i do have 4k subscription with netflix. It did not look great , picture was dimming on its own even with all eco settings turned off , i did not notice any difference with hdr and did see it pop up watching man in the high castle on amazon. I had my picture set to standard , native and led backlight on high and the led was set to 20. Dynamic provided a better picture but from what i read on the forum it does not do hdr. I messed with changing the the led backlight and noticed no difference in the picture when using that setting. Next up i tried a the revvenant in 4k bluray on the xbox one and while the main title screen looked great once the movie started and i watched for a few minutes the picture got dim on me again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated , i do have uhd on for all sources and i also made sure to check my settings stayed the same when watching hdr and they did, So i don't know what to really do now . The Tv does have some light bleed but not enough to bother me as it is not noticed when viewing something. I am not very picky and we like a bright picture rather than a movie mode type of picture when watching , even if that is not how the director intends you to view it.

Didn't notice it until I wiped it down. It could have been there from the start.

Blimey! Could you add some paragraphs to break it up? Almost impossible to read.

I am not sure of your setup, I have FIOS and not directTV and everything is going through a Yamaha AV receiver.

When switching from an App back to normal TV, I added in a couple extra commands. Besides switching to the correct input and turning on the set top box I also added to the end an "Exit" button command from the Samsung TV device 3 or 4 times. This ensures that the App screen closes and the home screen bar also closes and the only thing left being displayed is the video from the cable service.

It's hit or miss for me. Just push right and they unstack. Annoying, but not the end of the world.

try turning the AMP completely off. That solved my issue with it, some like it better with the AMP still on and just deal with the frame skips. I agree with layzzzee need a new AVR as well so I plan on getting one that can do the upscaling to 4k as well to hopefully be able to take advantage of the motion enhancement with no issues

Can't really compare plasma and these LED panels when it comes to motion... Thus why I miss plasma.

One thing I liked about Sonys TVs over Samsung is the motion features. I don't like AMP. I still haven't figured out my preferred settings for bball and football. Everytime I'm watching the game and I see blur/judder my OCD gets TRIGGERED.


Also while we are at it, is there a advantage of having AMP set to custom with the values at 0 over having it completely off?

Sent from my Nexus 6P

Sony with their motion features was what kept me rattling my brain between a Sony and the Samsung for months. The VA panel and picture quality for the money is what got me to get the Samsung over the Sony. Im assuming by having the AMP on but at its minimum setting gets the benefit of their motion enhancement but with little to no SOE

Something we already know but thought you might be interested in the article

https://www.extremetech.com/electron...-users-see-ads

So i decided to keep this panel and cancel my replacement, a few days in i can hardly see any problem with the panel, honestly this is 95% perfect and after testing some movies and tv shows, im very satisfied !

AMP? Thanks.

I agree that it looks fantastic. What's puzzling to me is that by all accounts, this movie isn't anything special on UHD BD in terms of PQ. Yet the trailer looks at least as good as some of the best UHD BD I've seen.

Hope that helps a bit , sorry.

auto motion plus

Anyone can help me out here

The howling greengrocer's apostrophe error put me off reading after the first line, I'm afraid.

The point is, the stacking isn't the only symptom when the YouTube app goes into a "bad mode". Worse is the permanent exit icon in the bottom right of the screen which is overlaying all videos, ruining them. Also I've had it ignore all stop/pause/etc keypresses on the remote!

So....I've had my KS8000 for 3 weeks now. I've read some of the posts regarding back panel separation and this morning just got around checking mine.

Indeed, along the center top portion of the back panel, my TV as well had come apart. There was also some separation on the far right top side as well.

Interestingly, all I had to do was push (Gently) about 4 inches down from where the separation was happening and heard and felt 3 or four clicks and the panel was back in place. No fuss. At least on my back panel it seems there are plastic pins that snap into slots and those pins popped out.

Some of you with this issue may find this resolves the back panel separation issue for you. Let us know!

Test

Hi all,

I have started having a couple of issues with my KS8000 TV, that I believe may have started after a firmware update earlier this month.

The biggest issue is that I no longer have the ability to bring up the channel guide or quick interface to launch apps / change inputs. Pressing the middle circle button or home button on the bundled remote has no effect, but other buttons such as volume control and voice input still work. The issue is not specific to the remote control, as my 3rd party remotes all now experience the same problem as well. I am at a point where the only reason I can change inputs is because of my Harmony programming, and the only way I can launch apps such as Netflix is by voice command on the bundled remote.

The other issue I am experiencing is frequent audio dropouts when using ARC. The dropout typically is around 1-2 seconds, and occurs randomly, it could multiple times in a minute, or it may go 10 minutes without an occurance. I just started using ARC so I cannot say if this problem started before the firmware update. I am using an Amazon HDMI cable rated for 4k/ARC: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This issue occurs regardless of input (4K netflix, 720P broadcast TV), and my Receiver is a Denon 1611 with ARC support.

Thanks

I have tried to read as much of this thread as I can but so far I haven't found a solution.

I have a 55" KS8000 and on one of the HDMI inputs I run libreelec on a raspberry pi3. All is okay until I turn off the TV. When I turn off the TV and turn it back on the screen is blank and I get a No Signal message. The only way to fix this is to unplug the oneconnect cable and plug it back in and all is fine. I am using CEC and have disabled all the settings I can think of.
*Just tested with CEC disabled and still after turning TV back on I get a "No Signal"

Any ideas?

I have a better idea...

Why don't you post your settings and then we might be able to make some suggestions on how to "improve" them and what changes you can or should make to improve the picture.

Much easier that way.

I'm not sure if this has been previously mentioned regarding stutter & judder (are they the same? :-)) , but I thought I would mention it.

I was experiencing what I considered stuttering on the CNBC ticker. I tried various AMP settings, but could not correct the problem. I really didn't want to use AMP, because I dislike SOE.

What worked for me, and completely eliminated the stutter/judder, was changing the output of the Xfinity X1 from 1080i to 1080p60.

Another HDR video up on YouTube:

Don't really understand. Maybe I'm blessed. I'm on my third hi def tv now and as soon as automotion is set to completely off there was and isn't any judder problems. That's with a Sony and now my Sammy's. Watching football there is now perfect spirals when ball is in the air. Hockey pucks don't flutter. Here with timewarner in NYC the ifc and amc channels were especially bad along with those house hunting shows. Turned off all processing like I said on all tvs and no more judder. Turn it off and leave settings alone for a few days and tv will settle in. If your still having problems change the cable box. That has worked for some people too. Hope it clears up for you.
