Looked up the profile and the user has not been online for a looooong time. So in asking here.

Just recently bought a Samsung u32h850umu (4k, va, quantum dot) and would love for my games to look like that.

Use the brightness (not backlight) control of your tv.
Use 240p test suite to verify you don't crush blacks,, display a black background and turn the brightness down till you see the black screen stops going blacker, then raise it by one click.
Only then use the Gamma control (if you have it) of your tv and raise the gamma to 2.4 or till looks good to you with your room lighting.

BTW, these images from higan using its filter are crushing the blacks, don't take them as reference.
The image on the left is what I see on my CRT and my calibrated (i1 display pro) dell monitor.
