First and foremost, all 2016 Samsung sets have a glitch of some sort where, when displaying in game mode, the screen settings between HDR and regular content do not discreetly switch automatically. You don't need 1000 nit tv to see the different voice in color palate here. The SDR mode looks dull in comparison, with a darker orangish ray of light in the abandoned school scene, lacking the bright light reflections across the buildings. The rays of light in Last of Us Remastered for example, are more of a natural yellowish/orange during sunset that cast light reflections on buildings. HDR is accepted, but you have to fiddle around a lot to make it look 'correct.' Colors are definitely different, and when you get it right the HDR version is without question superior in my opinion. I'm assuming a number of you have this set as well, so let's jump right in for this specific model.

Specifically the KU6300 series had tremendous sales on Black Friday. For the size I wanted, specifically 65 inch, a UHD with proper settings would be just as good for basically 90 percent of content I display on it. The reason why this is so important specifically is because of what a tremendous value their 2016 'UHD' sets offered in comparison to their 'SUHD' sets. 2016 Samsung sets come in 2 flavors - 4K UHD intended for mid range to budget, and 4K 'SUHD' which basically is their higher end tvs that sport some additional features, such as dynamic lighting across the screen and a higher overall peak brightness rating. Since we all know going into this thread that our tvs will not be able to display the HDR image perfectly, yet can still process it nonetheless, we can use this to share settings for our specific models to get as great of an image as possible - or alternatively, determine if that specific model isn't worth using the HDR mode on at all. Off the top of my head, this should apply to some Vizio, LG, and Samsung sets. This thread is specifically for late 2015-2016 4K sets that accept and display HDR inputs, yet lack the dynamic screen contrast or full 10bit wide color gamut to display the 1000 nits that HDR is meant to display.
