Samsung HG40EA790MS: Samsung UN65KS8500 Curved TV Calibration

Hey there,

We will be locking this older thread due to it being revived by a new post. If the issue is
on going, we recommend creating a new thread
detailing the issue at hand and any troubleshooting steps (if any) you’ve tried so far. We will be more than happy to answer any questions. Thank you and happy gaming!

Hello ThyHal0Masta, every TV has it own settings, but I can recommed some adjustments based on Xbox One X features. The most important thing you may need to setup it's the HDR 10, check if you need to set it up or if it's already setup as default. You
can also check on some preset options, most of tvs those days come with a "Game Mode" on it that optimize the colors for your console automatically.

Hope it helps

best regards

Hello! I found this made by a user of your tv and ps4 so it will be similar i think

BACKLIGHT - down to personal preference but is recommended at around 6-8 for SDR content but really just depends on how bright or dark your room is. Must be manually raised to 20 when playing HDR content in
Game Mode.

BRIGHTNESS - Open this webpage up in the xbox's browser: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php

Tweak the brightness setting until square '1' is on the verge of disappearing and all other squares become gradually lighter and lighter. I have mine set at 46 but every TV is potentially slightly different.

CONTRAST - Now open up this webpage in the xbox's browser: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php

Tweak your contrast settings until the bottom right square is on the verge of disappearing and all others get gradually more and more visible as you go back (it's the reverse order to the brightness test pattern
above). My contrast is at 95 but I raise it to 97 for HDR. I found any higher was crushing whites.

SHARPNESS - I have mine set to 5. You really don't want to add any artificial sharpness but there have been some reports of anything below 10 actually blurs the image so I just have mine at 5 as a happy medium.

COLOUR/TINT - You should leave these settings alone unless you have a calibration DVD. I have used one and have made some small tweaks to these settings but you should be fine leaving them at their defaults.

SMART LED: I have mine on Low for SDR and High for HDR.

COLOUR TONE: I have it on Warm 1. Some people say Warm 2 is closer to the industry standard but I find it too yellow personally.

Hope this helps.

Whenever I switch televisions I usually use this nifty feature the console has. If you go to Settings->Display & Sound -> Video Output ->Calibrate TV on your Xbox and you follow along with the screens that follow you should find a great setting for
your tv.

Hello!

Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this situation. I understand you're having trouble with HDR on your Samsung TV. I recommend you communicate with the manufacturer of the TV itself to get more information about their device. You can also
