Regarding Smart LED on High. I'm not so sure that's the best setting any more. I noticed in Yakuza 0 that the white text (which appears constantly because no English VA) would sometimes go light gray, or even portions of the white text would go light gray, then back to pure white when the scene or viewpoint changed. This phenomenon happens less the lower the Smart LED is set to. It hasn't been as obvious in other games or scenarios, but I would imagine that the effect is subtly there at all times. So for now I have Smart LED set to Low, I believe, which seems to strike a nice balance. Does anyone else have a tiny (maybe quarter-inch or less) gap between the left bezel and the black screen?

I noticed it today while dusting the frame. It's very slim, and seems to run down the entire length of the left side. The gap size seems uniform (it might be *slightly* narrower at the bottom). On the right side, the black screen is flush with the bezel. I'm not sure if the left-side gap has been there since the beginning or if it's a recent development, but I haven't bumped my TV nor even touched it since hanging it a few months ago.

Just my two cents: I have to disagree. I know they said the Color Space 'Auto' glitch was fixed in one of the firmware updates, but my results show that I still need to utilize the 'Native' Color Space. If the UHD is activated, everything looks really messed up unless I force the 'Full' color spectrum. The most obvious instance is in The Last of Us. Dark areas are completely black and incapable of being navigated without 'Full' set on the PS4, and Color Space 'Native' set on the KS8000. Everything set to auto simply isn't working the way that it should for me. When I check the output information on the PS4, it is always set to RGB when Auto is selected.

I would absolutely love for everything being set to 'Auto' on both the PS4 and the KS8000 to function like everyone says, but that simply is not the case for me at all. Which HDR-capable game are you testing this with? One problem is that a lot of settings talk is very subjective.

What might look right to you, may not look right for some. There is also variation from set to set with different panel makers and whatnot.

Different lighting in people's homes, etc. Also, when it comes to HDR settings, RGB, YUV and whatnot, it's still early days and they haven't gotten this stuff nailed down yet. Try perusing AVSForums if you really want a headache. As for 'regular users', they won't bother coming to message boards to read about their TV sets. They'll either go with stock settings out of the box or adjust by eye to whatever looks good to them and then they'll just watch the set, blissfully unaware of all the settings and features talk. True, a regular user probably wouldn't even turn on the HDR mode for their input. And agreed, all the settings just seem subjective.

None of it seems outright 'better,' which is surprising to me because I've heard so much about how stunning HDR is and what a big upgrade. The biggest thing I'm confused about is the HDMI Black Level / PS4 Color mode. As long as I flip these both the right way in relation to each other I get decent looking results either way. No matter what I do, nothing ever looks like it *pops* super brighter than it does with HDR off, or that drastically different at all. There's some stuff that crunches blacks and some stuff that washes stuff out, but nothing that makes me think I'm clearly just seeing a ton more information from dark to light to super bright. And I'm an art director in VFX / post production so overseeing color correction is a regular part of my job. I'm used to pixel fucking for banding / shimmering / etc, but no matter how I set the settings nothing seems just outright *better* than anything else.
