Best Settings on Samsung 4K UHD 50'' TV (RU7100) for Gaming

EricRothrock · Aug 30, 2019

I just bought a new 50'' 4K UHD TV (RU7100) along with Red Dead Redemption 2 for my Xbox One S. I was really excited to see how awesome the graphics would look on the TV but after countless hours tweaking the settings and reading articles/watching videos
on the best settings I've come to the conclusion that I need some help! haha I really like the vibrant, bright colors while playing RDR2 on the "dynamic" setting with the "game mode" set to "off" but I feel like the graphics are still a bit "flat". In "game
mode" I know it helps with the the lag time but it significantly takes away from the HDR vibrant colors. I've turned off game mode, all the eco system settings, and as stated earlier I've tweaked and tried all the different settings on the tv and my xbox.
I'm just underwhelmed when it comes to the details and sharpness of the graphics. I can post a picture if that helps anyone. Is there a special cord I'm missing? Or some hidden setting? Below I'll list out what I'm currently running. Please let me know if
there's anything I didn't mention or offer any advice you may have!

TV Settings

My two favorite picture modes are "dynamic'' and "movie"

Ambient Light - Turned off

Motion Lighting - Turned off

Auto Motion Plus - Turned off

Digital Clean View - Turned on

Contrast Enhancer - Turned to low or high

Game Mode - Turned off

Picture Size - 16:9 Standard

Xbox One Settings

There are so many different choices and to be honest everyone has a different preference. Here's a link to an article that I think might be what you're looking for.

Thank you all for the support and suggestions! I really appreciate it! If there's a way, I want to give you all the credit for the awesome support everyone provided. Later this evening I plan on checking out the links and hopefully getting this resolved!
One of you commented "I know picture settings can become frustrating and changing them can become obsessive" well I'm not gonna lie, I'm glad to hear someone say that! haha I may have become a little obsessive over these
dang settings. It's to the point where I've been adjusting the settings and tweaking things more than actually playing and enjoying the game smh hahaha Again I really appreciate all of your help and I'll come back here to let ya'll know what I found to work.
