Crows Turn Off

There is a bug in the KS8000 set that does not auto-switch to HDR settings for Game Mode. The main things you need to set are the following in Expert Picture settings:

Backlight: 20 (or as close to max as your eyes can take, 18 is fine)
SmartLED: High
Dynamic Contrast: Medium
For the KS8000, I thought I saw the Backlight has to be at 20 for HDR content to work in Game Mode - is that not true?

No, it doesn't have to be at 20 to work, it works at any value - it just won't look right at low settings. It looks brightest at 20 but the 'HDR-ness' still works perfectly fine a couple of notches lower, it might look a bit too dim at anything below 16 however.

Ok, makes sense. I thought I also read that Contrast needs to be set to max as well. Or does Dynamic Contrast take care of that?

Sorry for the derail.

It was okay until enough people complained it wasn't like the original games and Sega added a bunch of stuff that didn't work with the systems they already had and ended up pleasing nobody.

Did you watch the earlier gameplay videos? It looked like complete dogshit.

What made the original valkyria game good was the battle system, so Sega decided to remove it for the next console release.

Personally I have set Contrast to 95 and Dynamic Contrast to Medium (High is too aggressive and crushes some of the darker details).

Doing a lot of tweaking with RE7 & Hitman in HDR modes, this gives the best results.

I'm a vtuber expert
I sold my og PS4 to get a pro a while back and even though I don't own a 4K tv I don't regret the purchase. Some games get higher framerates and/or resolution which is cool, and boost mode can smooth over some pre-pro games. It's not a miracle boost but it is noticeable in some games.

Even a game like Nioh that has a 60fps action mode on reg PS4 is even smoother on the pro.

If you don't own a PS4 and you don't know what one to get, get the pro. It even has a stock 1tb drive.

Yeah it looks like some BS Warriors combat. Which is a total shame. I loved the original. Every few years I get an itch and google to see if any games like it exist. They never do. So I play VC again.

Which for how much I love it has a huge flaw. The ranking system is based on only time so you are highly encouraged to cheese levels by just sprinting past it. My dream is a sequel with MGSV inspired scoring. What ever approach you take, if you do well enough at it, you can S rank.

But this game wasnt one of the few pre-approved game types allowed to exist, so we get a Valkyria Warriors knockoff. Which warriors games arent bad in and of themselves. But like you said. The combat system WAS the defining feature.

So it looks like the KS8000 line is no more? Or am I being stupid. I'm probalby being stupid. I know Costco uses a different model number, but even looking at Best Buy to get a rough idea on price, they don't have anything with that model number any more. There's this: UN49MU8000FXZA which maybe is the "new" version? Also, why am I doing this? I don't need a new TV.... :cry:

E:D is not really a game that anyone's going to waver and be convinced on, it's about repeatedly doing tedious menial things forever against the majestic backdrop of infinite space (unless you want to go full retard and get involved with the online community).

I'd have bought it immediately if it supported PSVR, but it doesn't.

The KS series is discontinued, yes. The MU series is the closest direct replacement for it, although several hundred dollars more right now than the KS was, thanks to being right at the start of its run, rather than right at the end.

Also, for what it's worth, Costco model numbers typically only differ in the last digit or two, not the actual TV series. Mine is a UN65KS800D, which is a KS8000 with a (d)ark bezel (which honestly looks way better than the silver bezel on the regular KS8000). There's no functional or performance difference otherwise, and I'd expect that to continue with newer product lines.

I looks cool, but it also looks like it has ships healing each other, which is dumb and means it's just a new aesthetic for existing team-based archetypes. Maybe I'm wrong.

To me the idea of a support ship healing a warship is just about the dumbest thing.

I never played Valkyria Revolution because it sounded like a shitshow from the beginning but after the first Japanese demo was badly received for having no gameplay elements from the previous games, they said they took it back to the drawing board and added them, but I guess they actually didn't?

Never played EVE, then?

Plus, it kind of works at this sort of scale - you can imagine something that big getting mid-battle maintenance, like a building in a sci-fi RTS getting constructed in seconds by fantastically advanced engineering technology. We're looking at mobile factories going to war with each other, not just soldiers with mysteriously regenerating health.
