Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help with this.
HDR content looks very bad on my new(ish) 8505. Compared to SDR, the colors are flat and washed out. Colors seem to blend, becoming blurry and losing detail, there's a slight greenish tint. Contrast is also way worse than with SDR.
I experimented with HDR content on both an nvidia shield TV and chromecast ultra, trying multiple shows and settings. Getting similar results all around. 4K on SDR is looking pretty good, but on rec2020 picture quality degrades noticably. I also tweaked HDR settings quite a lot, but even on the best combination of settings (HDR plus on medium, sharpness 1, color 70) it's significantly worse than regular SDR. I installed the latest firmware on both the TV and connected hardware.
I don't understand what's going wrong. Are my expectations too high for a TV in this price range? The TV is marketed as HDR capable, I figured the 10-bit screen should be able to make use of the HDR spectrum. Is this just how HDR looks on a non-oled TV?
Hope some of you can share experiences or advice,
Thanks in advance
