General Settings
The settings listed on this page are the results of our Samsung KS8000 UHD LED TV calibration. They work fine for most content, especially movies. If you would like to use these settings for gaming, copy them under the 'Game' picture mode (available under 'Special Viewing Mode').
For HDR gaming, once that game is enabled, increase the backlight to max, set the 'Color Space' to 'Native' and set 'Smart LED' to high.
On Samsung TVs, the 'Movie' picture mode is closer to our calibration goal so we always pick this first. To enable game mode, select it from the 'Special Viewing Mode'.
We set 'Backlight' at 4 to get as close to 100 cdm2 as possible. This is suitable for a totally black room but higher values are needed for brighter rooms. Adjust according to your room. 'Sharpness' at 0 means no added sharpness. Anything higher add over-sharpening artifacts.
'Digital Clean View' can be used when watching low resolution content like cable TV and DVDs. Leave it off for 1080p or 4k sources. 'Auto Motion Plus' is the image interpolation feature and will add the soap opera effect (SOE) when activated. To get better motion with a minimum of the SOE, use low custom values. To get sharper text while using the TV as a PC monitor, activate 'HDMI UHD Color'
'Color Tone' set to 'Warm2' is close to the cinema standard. If it appears too dull or yellowish for you, use a colder temperature like 'Warm1'. 'Color Space' controls whether the TV displays a wide color gamut. 'Native' will produce more saturated colors but it is best left to 'Auto' where it will adjust according to the source.
White Balance Settings
The following are the results of the white balance and colorspace calibration on our unit. They are provided for reference, and should not be copied as the calibration values vary per individual unit even for the same model and same size as the TV we reviewed due to manufacturing tolerances. If you want to try them you will need to enter all values shown, as all of them are active at the same time. If you end up with worse picture quality, simply reset them to the default values.
