    Hi chicagochang, welcome to NBR.

    You need to install Samsung's SW Update which fetches and installs drivers specifically for your model. Samsung no longer provide drivers on their website, and whatever is still there is outdated. A few drivers are better off installed manually.

    See this post for guidance, including download link for SW Update.

    Fn-keys, movie Color Enhancer and the other features you used to get from Easy Settings are now provided through a new app for Win8 called Settings. If you did a Win7-Win8 upgrade and still have Easy Settings installed, you should uninstall it first to avoid conflicts (using Windows Programs and Features control panel). You can read more about Settings in the thread linked below:
