Hi,

I purchased a Xbox One S the other day to play battlefield with mates, but a major draw was UHD Bluray and HDR10.

Dont want to spend a fortune and ideally needs to be around 43" (bedroom use).

It is rather confusing as some seem to say HDR but I have read that they are not proper HDR10 or something. Any suggestions at or around 43"? Android on the TV would be a nice bonus.

Edit* I already have a 4K panasonic at 40" but already have it 'sold'

Edit 2** Philips 49PUS6401 how does that look? Size is ok I just measured, its says UHD certified and HDR but no mention of 10bit so im not sure?

Thanks,
Sean

I just purchased the 55PUS6401 and im very impressed, bear in mind though its 8-bit so wont be as good for the HDR. Sure its not going to be good as a £1000+ sammy but this is entry level money, total cost is £540. Im sure in 2 years when almost every panel will be 10 bit even entry level panels, if my 1080p Plasma wasnt broke i would have waited it out.

I needed to replace my broken 1080p on a small budget and the cheapest 10 bit is at least £1200 at 55"+.

I have demoed the HDR on this TV and honestly i was very impressed the proper 10 bit HDR must be amazing.

4K Netflix looks amazing, simply no going back, Upscaled 1080p also still looks good. I really love the ambilight on the Philips, yes its a gimmick but i still like the immersion.

Dont worry im under no illusions that this is just a budget TV but i think for 90% of people the Philips would be a great buy, i dont have the disposable income to spend £1000 on a TV.

Yeah I spotted that one! Think I may get this then its a bit more expensive but should hopefully be worth it. Someone on the shop that sounds like ar goose asked if the Philips was HDR10.

Does this TV support HDR 10 or Dolby Vision?
Im looking for a new tv for the xbox one s however it only supports HDR 10. Please can you help? Thanks.

Hello Lee 360

Thank you for your question, the 6401 supports 10 bit colour from source device and is HDR Plus compatible.

Hope this helps.

Assuming that just mean it can take a 10bit output but not display it? Thought it was too good to be true!
 
I own the 55 of the Philips it's 8 bit but can process a 10 bit image. It's only rated at 350mit and I think some of the good Samsung's are 1000 mit.

You got to decide if HDR is worth almost double the price to you. There isn't much HDR but the Samsung will be more future proof. For what it's worth I was impressed with my philips playing the life of pi HDR demo.

Absolutely love ambilight as well really great watching a film with the lights off
 
Hi,

I ended up going for the Samsung UE49KS8000 got it for £1260, the UE49KS7000 looked just as good to be fair but it would have played on my mind thinking I should have paid that little bit more. a lot of review sites say its one the best Tvs of 2016. Just need to 10bit hdr content now haha, got the new Star Trek pre-ordered, Battlefield 1 is getting a hdr patch.

Im assuming the 980ti does not support 10bit hdr? The option is greyed out in the TVsettings when PC is used as a source.

Thanks my google skills did not dind that somehow. So I have ran the test on there and get the washed out colours like you supposed to and a message from the TV saying 'HDR content is playing'. I can not however select 10bit on the nvidea control panel?? It is rather annoying lol, any ideas? I have messed around with all the different options and no luck.
 
Ah just figured it out. You cant have 4k 60hz 4:4:4 10bit. You have to have 4k 60hz 4:2:2 10bit. What should I go with? Why have a 10bit panel if you cant use it properly? Or I a missing something (I have no idea what 4:4:4/chroma is lol)

4:4:4 means that every pixel is a co-cited pixel, meaning all pixels have luma and chroma information. 4:2:2 doesn't meaning colour rendition won't be as good.

Whether there is any visible difference is another matter entirely of course (especially considering we are talking <50" screen size)

Personally at that size I would be highly surprised if anyone can actually see any difference:D

10 bit 4:4:4 HDR is going to look better than 4:2:2 HDR 8 bit on any size monitor. We aren't talking about resolution we are talking about colour rendition.
