Haines,
I tidied up the OP with some formatting if you want to quote this post and use it to make it easier on the eyes?
I've one change to the Full and Normal Black Levels as, unless I'm mistaken the most recent conversation about this was to set them at those levels.
Obviously change anything you feel is wrong or out of date.

0
For HDR Gaming

Tips:
Do not forget to check in game brightness sliders for games with a new TV. I find default is the best for most of these.
Do not forget to change your settings for all modes, including when HDR kicks in on Netflix, etc
Turn ALL Eco Settings off
To turn the Samsung Logo Light off follow these instructions:
Settings > System > Expert Settings > Light Effect > Off
Turn Anynet off in System Settings if you dont want TV to power on system hooked up
Make sure you update to the latest Firmware
Xbox One S Users Turn Colour Depth to 10bit
Do not use HDR+ Mode, this is just a fake HDR setting to simulate it, this is NOT how you enable HDR.
Using Game Mode for movies and TV is probably ok. Use at your discretion. Switching to Movie Mode makes sense to me because I swap between Warm1 and Warm2 for each type of media.
PSVR Processing Box will prevent HDR from working, its NOT compatible.
Use the proper HDMI Cables for HDR, AKA the one that comes with the PS4 Pro.
Smart LED set to Off / Low helps reduce with a backlit display. High will make the issues stand out more.
