Good Morning everyone! Please move this thread elsewhere if it does not belong here, I'm new here
So, I always wanted an OLED TV and found a good deal on 55EG9A7V (equivalent to ~880 Euro here), I didn't really need the 4k resolution and since most of the broadcast we can afford is either SD or HD, it seemed like a good choice.
But now after getting it, I came to understand that somehow implementation of wide / 10-bit color is tied with HDR, I'm left with my TV trying to *upscale* / oversaturate most of SDR HD content mastered in rec. 709 to a wide color gamut which is not always accurate. What is more disconcerting is the fact that HDR is being pushed a lot and equivalent SD streams of same content appear washed out.
Now, my problem is that if my TV can do 90% of rec. 2020, why is this color space tied to HDR streams only? Have I made a mistake buying this TV in 2020?
Disclaimer: I'm fairly happy with the image quality and what it can deliver with properly mastered content on SDR, only issue is with content created keeping HDR in mind
