So, careful Factory Resetting your TV without having an IR Blaster / Transmitter available to send the Factory + 3SPEED code once you are in the Service Menu to unlock all the options.
For whatever reason, it wanted to turn on HV Flip (Horizontal / Vertical Flip).
The options are H Flip, V Flip, HV Flip (Horizontal Flip, Vertical Flip, Horizontal + Vertical Flip) and OFF.
Setting this to OFF and powering off then on again gave me the correct display orientation.
I made an IR Blaster with my Car's AUX cable (I messed up the TV, I lose my AUX lol, fair compromise) and 2 of the LED's from the factory IR Transmitter that comes bundled with most Samsung TV's.
If you look closely at the LED, you'll notice a skinny section and a thick section. The thick section holds the actual emitting diode and is Negative.
The skinny section kind of looks not attached to the thick section. This is the Positive.
If you look on the PCB they are attached to, before you remove them, it'll show you too. The + is positive and the weird sidewise triangle is negative.
If you are looking at a stripped AUX cable you have:
Red (either 1 or 2 wires: a coated wire [positive] and bare/exposed wire [negative]) 1 wire will be Positive and around BOTH the Left and Right wires will be the Negative/Ground wire: we don't need any ground/negative wires.
So now you are looking at 2 coated wires: pick one, wrap it around the Positive on 1 of the LED's. Wrap the other around the Negative of the LED.
With the 2nd LED, do the same thing BUT if
Right = Red --> Attached to Positive on LED 1
Left = White --> Attached to Negative on LED 1
Then make it so it's now:
Right = Red --> Attached to Negative on LED 2
Left = White --> Attached to Positive on LED 2
I personally turned up the volume full blast on my laptop and 125% in VLC Media Player and was no more than 1 foot (.6 meter) away from my TV's sensor.
I don't think you need to, but I just wanted it to work.
So this is what you need to do if you have a Samsung Smart TV with a flipped upside down picture / display.
