Someone else mentioned AVSForum, users on there will post their custom calibration values as well.

Do not apply numerical settings from other internet tvs, it messes with the power allocation per color channel, you might not get your peak highlights if they're not balanced right. It's a weird quirk I've found from my probe measurements.
Everything else is to taste.
Contrast enhancer lifts the gamma curve for daytime / bright room usage.
Do you think this is better option?

There are drawbacks with any TV but I think the workarounds are not that bad for Samsung TVs:
No Dolby Vision support but you get HDR10+ to make up for it. My understanding is that both top tier HDR formats contain the additional metadata versus standard HDR, so either way your TV can display the added HDR color information. Only a matter of time before all streaming services will likely have both DV and HDR10+ standards, no Dolby licenses fees should make HDR10+ easier/cheaper to implement.
Lack of DTS sound processing in the TV can be overcome if you have a streaming device, Blu-ray player, video game system that can send the DTS format to your receiver and then the AVR can pass the video signal to your Samsung TV. If you are just using your TVs internal speakers, it's unlikely that missing DTS will be very important, in order to hear the difference between DTS formats and Dolby formats, you are normally needing a surround sound system. If you are using a soundbar and prefer DTS, than that could impact you, but soundbar and Dolby should provide a decent amount of sound immersion.
Not a fan of Tizen OS? Well most TVs have an OS that is loaded with Ads, pick your preferred streaming service and use that instead, you can hook up your Apple TV, Firestick, Roku, Nvidia Shield, or even a video game as your streaming service interface.
If you have to have Dolby Vision support, then I guess that is the showstopper, but as a sports fan I would rather have no WOLD banding issues than worry about DV support. If you need DV and OLED, you will have to pony up $ for LG or Sony.
What a foolish statement.
