So I thought I ruined my calibrated UN55B7100 today when I upgraded the software. Turns out it was simply accessing the service menu that would restore it working condition. Basically B series TV's like mine have the ability to input custom calibration modes for Day and Night viewing, and a reset hides them.

These calibration settings are not easily found, since you have to get into the service mode of the TV. This mode is HIGHLY NOT Recommended for users since editing some things in here can cause your TV not to work anymore, or what we like to call in the tech world, bricked. On the other hand there are some neat features that you might like. For instance I found the hotel mode which allows me to have the TV automatically tune to a specific source when it's turned on or for what it's worth a specific channel... Every wonder why in the hotel when you turn the TV on it's always on the Hotel's Info Channel? There's you're answer.

I've now got my Samsung 55" upgraded, calibrated, and sources updated for optimal viewing.
