I don't think there's an HDR version.
So it's in 4K but not HDR?
Or is it only for calibrating for SDR/1080p?

Is this an HDR blu ray?
I have the original spears and munsil disc from yearrrrrs ago, wondering if there's an updated HDR version

For 1080P...and it's amazing. I hope they come out with a 4K HDR disc soon.
I'm going for the Sony 900E this weekend but my only fear is missing the Dolby Vision option that's available in the 930E.
I see the new Chromecast will use it...will I regret this decision in a few months/years? I don't plan on buying a new TV for the foreseeable future.
And now the price has gone back up on the 49" X900E. I'm so glad I got it at that sale price.
You should be fine. Most everything will support HDR10. There's too many TVs that are HDR10-only to ignore. Plus, UHD Blu-ray requires HDR10 to be included if the disc will have HDR. Right now, only Vudu doesn't support HDR10 and they plan to add support.
The biggest upcoming improvement for gaming is HDMI 2.1 adding variable refresh rate support. Supposedly, the Xbox One X will support it. The next generation of consoles almost certainly will.
If you have a regular PS4, you'd still be able to get HDR at HD resolutions, at least.

Care to elaborate a bit on your before/after experiences?
What specifically improved for you? What mode did you calibrate in (ISF Dark, light etc)?
It went up, but still down by $100. Weird.
TCL cancels 50 & 65" versions of acclaimed P series
This sucks. I was hoping to see if they would drop the 50" at $500 which have been a steal. Maybe they probably weren't gonna profit much by selling the TV at such absurdly low prices. I know they wish they could have released the 55" at a slightly higher price point, as evidenced by the $50-100 price hike since launch.
I have a 2010 Panasonic Plasma, so not aboard the 4K HDR train just yet (and honestly, after calibrating, I don't feel the need to immediately).
The 2 biggest things I'd say improved post-Spears and Munsil are color accuracy and contrast.
Color Accuracy - guessing at this is hard. I was always a "warm 2" guy, but with color tweaks, "cool 1" now looks so much more realistic and vibrant
Contrast - My living room gets pretty dark (aside from bias lighting behind the set) and now it has just the right brightness while still having BLACK blacks.
I can post pics if anyone is interested
I have a 2010 Panasonic Plasma as well and am interested in how exactly you recalibrated it. Professionally? With a paid software? Or just from the systems menu? I'm not very educated on this stuff.
I still like my Plasma but I noticed how blacks got a little lighter and it overall looks a little more LCD-ish (but with great uniformity). I'll upgrade within the next 1-2 years since it has gotten a little small anyway but if I could improve my viewing until then without much hassle I'd conaider it.
Anyone...? Should I ask in the Japan life thread?Anyone want to help a guy living in Japan out? I need an affordable 4K HDR screen. Could I possibly use a monitor instead? My apartment is tiny, so I don't need a big TV.

I'm looking to pick up a Sony Bravia full 40" 1080p HD with HDR for my bedroom, I will be connecting my PS4 Pro and Nintendo Switch to it.
Will I see benefits off this set as it has the HDR features? This is the TV in question http://www.argos.co.uk/product/6873011
My budget is about £450 so I don't think it's worth buying a 4K TV at that price as it won't be much benefit right now.
I wanna say, the C/ is great , even in 1080p/SDR mode.
Plus damn, motion clarity is really high on this, even without a pulsed backlight/120Hz feed.

There's a TCL 55 inch for $550. Model #55C803 and Item #9550803.
Is this the same as 605?
no its the C-line which is edge lit and has no local dimming http://www.tclusa.com/products/home-theater/c-series
I have the B7 which is basically the same and its the best tv ive ever seen. Coming from the much hyped KS8000 (also a great set)Glad to hear this! Have already decided, 65c7, is my tv for the next 3-4 years. Feels like in 2012 when I bought my Panasonic VT50. It just feels so right and the competition is way behind.
Now I'm waiting for the price drops in September-november 😉

Thanks you
Is the 607 worth another $50 from the 605?
Yes. Somehow pressed shift on that.LG C7?
Hardly. It's barely better than any other non-HDR set. You won't find any good HDR TVs at that price range. I understand you have a tight budget so I would just go ahead and get that if you needed a TV asap. If you can wait, save up more and good HDR TV.
Damn, would there not be a difference between say a standard full HD 1080p TV image and this Sony Bravia one then?
Trying to convince parents/myself to upgrade to a decent ish 4k hdr tv. I have a low end 2010 Samsung , the TV they have is a 10 year old Panasonic lcd. In terms of brightness and other stuff how much difference would there be?
LG B6 owner here. Someone tell me how to turn on HDR mode so I can play Uncharted? Thanks. There's like two modes of it, do I need to change to settings or can I turn it on in my gaming settings? I'm confused and haven't used it before, when I did I thought it looked rubbish! Can't really find anything definitive 😨 I clearly need it breaking down easy!
Turn on HDMI Deep Colour in your TV settings. Should be in the General menu at the bottom.
Thanks you

eh...the only difference is the remote. personally don't think its worth it. then again i don't use my remote at all and just program everything into my universal harmony
I would say the FALD is worth it imo
He's talking the $50 difference between the $550 C803 and $600 P605 not the P607
Alright chaps:
Put in my order.
Making a jump from a Panasonic UT50 (2012) to a TLC P605. Hope it's worth it.
Curious why you made the jump. The UT50 has a great picture! Just time for an upgrade? Gaming in 4K?
Is he? The 605 is $600 and the 607 is $650. Anyhow I think the C803 is the Costco version of the C807 on Amazon. And the difference once again is the remotes.
I wouldn't pick the C series over the P series for any reason even if its slightly cheaper.
Interesting, I'll be starting a job next year (I'm a student) so may be worth waiting.. Plus I want to be able to afford oled.. And LG will be using their new panels right?Honestly, it all comes down to what model you buy...but if you're coming from 2 lowish end 7+ year old TVs to a mid-higher end 4K, it'll be night and day

Freesync etc need enabled support from GPUs, so without capable hardware and a software patch it is not happening.I was of the mind to replace my KS8000 with the C7, but decided to hold off for HDMI 2.1.
What I would like to know is if the Game Mode VRR is backwards compatible with older than HDMI versions. Say my PS3 and PS4 has less or higher than the 2 standard fps rates, will the HDMI 2.1 TV be able to detect that and smooth the experience?
