Below you'll find the settings I found best for viewing the Samsung UN55F8000 in a dim room via the HDMI input. Your settings may vary depending on source, room conditions, and personal preference. Check out the Picture settings and calibration FAQ for more information.

Calibration notes: As usual Samsung's Movie setting delivered much the best picture quality compared to the other presets; it was so accurate, in fact, that tweaking wasn't strictly necessary. Average error levels for color and grayscale was pretty close to the nominal level of human perception (d2000 of 3 or less).
Of course I wanted to get it closer and the plethora of excellent controls made that a relative cinch. Before I could get into the nitty gritty, however, one big decision revolved around which local dimming setting to use. The differences between the three were relatively subtle, although Low delivered slightly worse black levels than the other two. In the end I settled on Standard, which did provide the flattest gamma by a nose, and black levels generally as deep as High. Honestly though, all three showed very good gamma and shadow detail. Of course I recommend avoiding Off since it showed significantly worse black levels than any of the others, as well as a large uniformity issue as detailed in the review.
Dialing in gamma, grayscale and color was a breeze due to Movie's initial accuracy and the superb controls. The 2-point system got the grayscale to a level I'd be perfectly satisfied with normally, while the 10-point system worked well to further hone it to near perfection. The same went for color, where the 3D CMS worked beautifully. In the end the F8000 showed the most accurate color of the year according to my charts.
