Hi @Edgie70, Certainly for best effects Eco mode should be switched off and enable UHD colour on the appropriate port, should be able to do this for Sky. However results will likely vary for non HDR content. Of course depends on preference but not a fan of Dynamic Mode and generally not recommended by experts,particularly for extended periods. Brighter but some colours can be exaggerated and lack finer detail.
I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

I have a KS7500 and everytime I tried the HDR+ setting I experienced the same thing, a much dimmer picture with muted colour and lacking contrast.
I usually have the TV set to the Dynamic mode to get a bright contrasty picture with vivid colours, but I started to get dissatisfied because the picture just didn't look natural and was losing detail in shadow areas.
I gave the HDR+ setting another try but experimented with different settings and now have a picture which is not only bright, but with excellent contrast and natural colours. I run the TV all the time with the HDR+ setting on now and the HD pictures are superb, although some SD programmes can look a bit naff, but that's down to the poor quality broadcasts and nothing to do with HDR+.
These are the settings I'm using:
TV Picture Mode: Dynamic
Special Viewing Mode: HDR+
Picture Size: Fit to screen
Backlight: 20
Brightness: 45
Contrast: 100
Sharpness: 50
Colour: 50
Digital Clean View: Off
Auto Motion Plus: Auto
Smart LED: High
Film Mode: Off
HDMI UHD Colour: On for all inputs being used
Dynamic Contrast: Off (Essential for brighter picture)
Colour Tone: Warm 1 (Slightly brighter and more natural whites and skin tone)
Gamma: 0
RGB Only Mode: Off
Colour Space: Native
Those settings work for me so worth giving them a try and see what you think .

I found using this setting the picture is nice in colour but looks a little soft. The faces appear to have heavy makeup.
1. I am not using 4K sources yet just 1080p. Should I even be using HDR+?
2. Do the Picture settings(Dynamic, Standard, Natural etc. impact the HDR mode?

How can you set up dynamic and HDR+ mode at the same time? It only allows One or another on the Samsung 6290. Thanks

Hi you can't have Dynamic Mode and HDR+ on at the same time, you can either choose to watch one or the other. If you're using Dynamic Mode, Normal Mode or Film Mode, set the picture up to personal preference as you would normally then scroll to the 'Special Viewing Mode' setting and turn on HDR+, this will override all your previous picture settings. Now set that up as instructed, or to personal preference, and then you can toggle between HDR+ on or HDR+ off for a direct comparison between the two. Some programmes you might prefer to watch with HDR+ mode switched on and some you might prefer to watch with it switched off. Just remember that your picture settings for HDR+ are independent from your normal picture settings and there is no need to keep readjusting them as you switch from one mode to the other.
