Hi all, I was wondering if I could get some explanations/help on this.
When playing certain 4K HDR movies (disc), I see a disturbing 'static' on almost anything that's a bright white. It essentially looks like digital snow, but appearing on white objects only (or occasionally other very bright colours). I'm fairly certain it's not simply film grain as it looks quite different and isn't over the whole picture. I've also seen reviews on YouTube for these 4K movies and they don't appear to have the same issue, so I think it's either my TV or maybe the player.
I have a Panasonic 43HX940 TV and Panasonic UB450 4K player. I've tried using two different 4K HDMI cables, but it makes no difference.
I've also tried playing with image sharpness, noise reduction etc. but it doesn't go away. Significantly reducing contrast helps a little bit, but that spoils the HDR effect for me.
Again, it just seems to be some 4K HDR movies that are having this problem (Alien, Gremlins, and parts of the Matrix). I'm not having any issue with regular HD content on Netflix etc.
Any ideas? Thanks.
