This product contains one document in PDF format that will help you get a better picture and understand HDR picture controls of Samsung 2023 4K UHD TVs (CU7000, CU7100, CU7172, CU8000, CU8072 and all other variants):
1. HDR10/HLG picture settings that can be used for watching movies and TV shows from different sources such as Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Ultra HD Blu-ray discs and
2. HDR10/HDR10+ picture settings for playing games where the screen needs to be responsive
This document contains picture settings I obtained after performing complete High Dynamic Range (HDR) calibration on Samsung 50-inch 50CU7172 for the European market. Tips from this document apply to other screen sizes and the Samsung 2023 4K UHD TV series.
All adjustments are done in the user menus (no need to enter service mode). 2-point white balance values are provided as a reference in the document. No 10-point or Color Management System values since there is absolutely no point in copying them from unit to unit.
