When using the HDMI UHD Color mode for my PC, I can't turn it off without the TV losing the connection and just reporting HDMI No Signal. The only way I can get out of UHD Color and see the desktop is to physically unplug the HDMI connection and plug it back in. Does anyone with an AMD card have this problem, or is it a TV issue?
The reason I'm trying to get out of that mode for games is to get access to the LED Clear Motion setting
Thanks for the info. I went ahead and connected the KU7000 to an Alienware laptop I own and it worked perfectly. I guess the RAMDAC on the Titan X can't run two 1440P monitors and this TV at 4K UHD 60Hz resolution.Load the latest firmware. Try another port on the display and on the computer. Upgrade your video drivers.
My first KS8000 would black out and keep coming back. I tried three cables. It ended up being the set and not the cable. Replacement sets didn't have that issue with the same cable, gfx driver, and port on the 1080.
Also, has anyone experimented with gaming on the TV in 30Hz mode with Auto Motion Plus enabled? My PC is a beast, but many PS4 games lock at 30fps (or if you have a slower GPU on your PC), and I wonder if that would make the experience more smooth.
HDR+ mode just adds a fake looking sepia filter or something. Might be OK for some content, but seems like a cheap trick to me.
Yeah, I should try HDR+ with the PS4 Pro. I tried it before with some UHD Blu-Ray discs, but the result was more like an Instagram filter than anything else.

I'm already doing that in the living room! I may consider doing it for the office too, but I do like a dim office, keeps me relaxed. If PWM ever gives me a headache I'll consider turning up the backlight.
i ordered the light strip from Amazon. should be here tomorrow. i like to play in a mostly dark room. will let you guys know how it goes with the lights.
OK, I tested it again. It's still crap. Strangely, I tried to take photos and the difference wasn't apparent. But I'm 100% sure it looks better without HDR+.

What did you order. My old LCD was much brighter (Older Light Bleed) so now my room is much darker. I don't like the light I have in here and thought a nice strip behind the new screen would be great.
Personally I prefer it set to off. It makes things too contrasty and exaggerated for my taste.
after reading the article above from Ars Technica i'm just scratching my head. now i know why the TV never popped the "you are watching HDR video" message until i started playing games on the PS4 and Xbox One S. i can't believe that actual apps on this TV can't trigger HDR. i also can't believe Amazon sold me a "4k" Fire TV box that can't trigger HDR either... hopefully this stuff can be fixed via software/firmware updates... but damn it was incredibly short-sighted on their part.
Aaaaand we're already seeing progress on HDR:
Samsung releases update to enable YouTube HDR on 2016 TVs
I tried downloading the KS9500 firmware linked there as technically it's the same OS for all 2016 TVs. Put it in a USB but it didn't work. Checking online also revealed nothing new. Keep your eyes out for the firmware update guys! Should be the same system version for KU6x, KS7x, KS8x, KS9x.
Not sure but I'd almost assume if a switch doesn't specifically call out HDR support then it doesn't work.
But who knows? If it's all within the HDMI 2.0 spec then maybe any HDMI 2.0 compliant switch would be OK. I see some switches in the $20-30 range so it's not a huge gamble.
This one looks promising for $26: https://www.amazon.com/Expert-Connect-HDMI-Switch-Port/dp/B01MQM4GEV/
that does look good. especially confirming 4k 60hz and 4:4:4. the only concern is no mention on the page of HDR. i may guinea pig this. Amazon has excellent return policy so no worries if it doesn't work.
