I meant HDR in game mode and getting notifications when it's enabled. Also don't have the bugs listed.No it doesn't.
HDMI 2.1 4K/120hz for example
HDR 10+ for another
Bravo to Samsung for the update.

Wtf ? My 2016 ks8500 already does all of this. HDR in game mode is also pretty low latency. Is this for the M series TVs?
No it doesn't.

What a rollercoaster. But literally 5 minutes ago, I finally scored the Sony 65X900E from Costco Canada online.
It went like this:
- Turns out Best Buy and Costco started selling their stuff early today
- Costco's "come back Nov 24" was BS. They started doing their online deals early today
- Costco ended up having the TV on deal for $1,900 (like everyone else)..... then I got home from work..... sold out
- Turns out Best Buy had an early bird online special. Buy it before 9 pm and get a 10% gift card. So that's like an extra $190. It was in stock
- Was thinking about it as I still want Costco's warranty, and Best Buy's similar multi year warranty is $450!
- Decided to just do it at BB at about 8 pm and skip the extra warranty.... sold out now!
- Midnight came around and BB now has it in stock for the start of BF (but no more gift card bonus)
- Forget it.... I'll wait for Costco
- Decided to do a random check before bed and it's now available again! Bought it, the $99 extra 3 year warranty, and the net price is still cheaper than BB if I did similar extended warranties
....... but bad news..... it's on 2-3 week back order!
Oh well. At least I got it where I wanted and the price I wanted. And done online so no need to line up and haul it into my bro's van.
Costco is a weird site. When the product is out of stock, the product disappears from the site. But I decided to do a Google search and found the TV's actual web page link, which came up fine and allowed me to buy it on backorder.
So someone using the site normally would never see the listing. You needed to find the actual product link.
Have you updated it recently? If not then I wouldn't.
-They took out the HDR pop-up notification thing several firmware updates ago. I'm totally okay with this to be honest as I already know when the media is going to be HDR, seems redundant.
-I'm not sure if it's exactly the same from tv to tv but on my KS9000 when I'm in gamemode and an HDR source is introduced, it does switch to an HDR profile settings, but the actual Backlight setting (which needs to be at 20 for HDR) doesn't change (I have it on 10 normally) and people need to manually change it. My contrast and brightness are the same across all of my profiles so I'm not sure if that was an issue for me. My work around is to simply keep my backlight at 20 always, but then non-HDR games are retina melting bright for no good reason.
-I don't have the audio sync thingor any issue calibrating, I assume it's a bug that maybe comes and goes for some people. Actually, my audio is handled via my Xbox One's and bypassed from the TV, into my soundbar via optical, so maybe thats why I've never had that issue.
-I see the screen brightness fluctuation thing on rare ocassions, sometimes when changing from scene to scene it'll start dim, then pop up bright for a millisecond or something. I've never seen it while gaming, generally if it happens, it's usually when I'm watching a Comcast movie or sometimes in Netflix and might happen once or twice for a stupid short amount of time.
I could be wrong, but I think the older firmware from around the time I got the TV, I could've sworn the HDR backlight setting switching in game mode worked fine.
I'm really glad they're doing this. I was sitting here all year contemplating selling my KS or trying to find some way to trade-in and upgrade lol.
What settings do you use when playing in hdr like colour and sharpness and stuff

My B7 will be here tonight. I'm excited!
I was planning on waiting for that too, but bit the bullet.with hdmi 2.1 now certified i think ill wait for the 2018 models just to future proof myself a bit.
Well.. despite the huge savings I spent a lot more on a tv than I had originally planned. Got a 75" Sony 900E today.
My wife seems ok so far but she may be playing cool and planning to murder me in my sleep tonight. If you never hear from me again, know that I was the victim of a crime of passion. A three way love triangle between a man, a woman and a tv.
Still waiting on my 900E...called them up today and they told me it was still back ordered because they sold more then they anticipated during the Black Friday days...at 600 dollars less Sony,you should of figured that lol...oh well,my 1080p set still looks good...I am going to have a hard time selling it though,especially if I dont feel like putting it up on Kijiji(people calling,strangers coming in the house etc etc...)
