I'll try doing a clean driver install and see if that helps, though I would be surprised if it did because I just did a Windows reset the other week.
I think that if you stay using "use default settings" in the Nvidia Control Panel, you won't have to do this everytime, but by doing this the TV will force PC Mode when in SDR, and it will use "Native" Color Space without being able to change it. But my tv doesn't always force PC Mode when I choose to use default settings, but it does it more often than not.
I ended up avoiding your method in favour of setting the HDR settings my self (4:2:2 @ 10 bpc) in the nvidia control panel and using the render scale slider in Far Cry to hit the desired resolution/FPS point.
So, I updated my TV with the sub method. I know this question has been asked to death, but what should be my preferred settings running in game mode now?
Did you check Samsung website for firmware or are you waiting for the automatic update?
Checking multiple Samsung sites for ABC regions.
Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa etc sites, daily.

Oh shit, I didn't know this thread existed! FUUUCK! I can't believe they finally patched in Game Mode settings profiles! I gave up hoping months ago, no official word from Samsung for two years, and boom! Unvelievable! I've been running the patch for the past two weeks and its working flawlessly. TV is damn near perfect now.
Just a quick reminder to those who get the latest update. Remember to turn off the Eco settings again as the update turns them back on for some reason. And turn back Color Space from Native to Auto again and Dynamic Contrast from Medium to Off (or Low depending on the content). These are the only settings I have noticed the update messes around with, but when you change them once back again it should stay like that every time you play a HDR game.
Doesn't look like it's up in the UK, is it worth a download and install from USB?
What's the new fav settings for the tele and Xbox one x?

Just check the Samsung website in your country for the firmware which is 1220.7 Europe or 6 for USA then download the file, extract it on the PC and put the ugrade.mds file on the USB root and you are good to go.

Done! thanks, thank was easy.
My TV is always on the above settings in game mode so not sure what difference I'll see but I'll come back here with any I have.
None of mine changed unexpectedly either, and I checked SDR and HDR content on every input multiple times (OCD). I think you're fine.
Only settings you lose are the ones you had before when HDR was active, in a game for example. Otherwise everything else stayed the same for me
I have bought my TV long time ago and only experienced this issue once. I'm lucky with my unit I guess...
It auto dims the TV based on the light in the room, which is something you don't want for HDR content.
So I've got the latest ks8000 firmware, hdr via a denon amp and xbox one x and unfortunately in game mode HDR is broken on the one x, colours skew purple, turning game mode off Hdr works fine, anybody else?
Most obvious when playing Star Wars Battlefront 2

Absolutely not. It works perfectly for me
Have you tried taking the amp out the chain? Try console direct to TV see if it's the same. Also cross reference settings with those posted earlier in the thread
Whaaaaat it's fixed? Finally! So now I won't have to adjust the backlight when playing an hdr game?
Have a look at the colour space option on the TV and see if that makes any different as you switch modes, it should be on auto
On this set, there's no reason to tick 4:2:2. Don't see why you'd leave the compression up to the bone if you're not having problems.
In addition, I would leave color at 8bit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xbox_One_X...ct_color_depth_system_setting_for_4k_is_8bit/
This was the issue thanks, I had custom colours set up for ratings, but these had been reset/messed up by the firmware update, fixed now
One downside is a have now noticed a very small white hot spot in the bottom right hand corner, tiny and only visible on a pure white screen :-( think ill live with it
After manually installing the new firmware, neither my PS4 or Xbone acknowledge that my TV supports HDR. Checked the Amazon app on the TV, and that still works fine with HDR and the pop-up on the top of the screen.
TV is in game mode and everything.
Xbone says under my TV Details: "Your TV setup doesn't support HDR10"
PS4 says "Your TV does not support HDR" when turning HDR from off to automatic.
Edit: Oh, I didn't realize I had to turn on HDMI UHD Color? Why is that even a setting?

Exactly haha. Just download the latest update which is 1220 and voila.
I agree with you and that post you linked to is right on the money. This is how I have mine set as well based on the same findings using my own equipment. That being said, the 4:2:2 option is there for a reason, and that is compatibility. Many users here and elsewhere have complained of HDMI disconnects and brief screen "black outs" during gameplay, because they either have a slow/old/bad HDMI cable or some other piece of equipment (even the TV's ports itself may be defective) that cannot handle the full 4K/60 RGB bandwidth. For these users, the 4:2:2 option solves the black screen issue because the reduced color data reduces the total bandwidth requirements. So while unchecking the 4:2:2 option is the ideal for picture quality, if you run into black screens then turn it on.
Agreed.
In fact, iirc, the 422 option was added to address issues users were having. So, if things are working okay on your end, I wouldn't recommend ticking 422
I went to the Samsung website, downloaded 1220 patch, moved the folder into a USB drive and plugged it into the port on the back of the TV, I pressed Software Update and as soon as it goes to 100% it says Update Failed. Any solutions?
Yeah I'm in the US region and bought it from a local Best Buy over a year ago.
I contacted customer support and they remote accessed my TV, tried to update on their end and it still brought up the same error.
Eventually the representative told me "From my end it is showing that the TV already has latest firmware version so we cannot update it further." I'm on update 1207.2 even though it says I can update to 1220.
My model is UN60KS8000F if that helps.

Hoping they get the USB update released to ABC regions soon.. I want to feel the same about the tv, but cranking up the settings for GT Sport every day while knowing the update is out there for everyone else is agonising.
Did anyone that experienced color seperation before confirm this update fixes the issue?
100% not fixed at all. Still get it several times a play session. I'm (sadly) used to it by now.
That sucks.. Really wondering if that isnt a hardware issue at this point in time.
When I first got the tv, almost exactly a year ago, for three weeks it never happend. First it did it maybe once a day, doesnt matter if the tv was on fir 5min or 10hrs, it would happen once and not happen again.
Eventually it was happening every 20min continuously.
However, latley it happens once a day again, then It doesnt even up to 2 weeks before happening again.
Really weird.
Thanks for letting me know its still happening.
can you explain the problem to someone who doesnt know what that mean?
Take a look at this image:
That is color separation.
Alternatively check out the halfway point in this video, and you'll see it again.
It's only a split second thing, and mine is not as extreme as either of these are on my KS9000. It can be jarring though. It is funny too because since getting this TV and noticing this issue (believe it only happens in Game Mode) I have noticed plenty of games that use the effect in gameplay. The Surge used it I remember, and a few more recent titles I played too. Like I said, I have just gotten used to it now. Still sucks.
I've gotten the color separation thing quite a few times, and often it lasts for upwards of 5 seconds. I haven't seen it since the update.
