UHD and HDR

Got a Panasonic tx-58dx802b coming on Thursday and need to convince the wife it was a worthy purchase so what is a good show off programme/film on Netflix or amazon prime.

please let me know if netflix and the bbc iplayer trigger your HDR its doesn't on my DX

does Amazon Prime have free HDR/ UHD content

This is a bit concerning as the reason I was getting it was for Netflix.

I have an android box that possibly will do Netflix but my intention was to get rid of some clutter

hi , is your tv switching to HDR mode using netflix ?

Forgot to check it, I did try (is it called) altered carbon which looked great image quality. Need to get my hands on a player and mad max as when I saw that in a shop the depth of image looked incredible. I'll check Netflix for hdr tonight

Not sure which Dx model you have but Netflix will definitely work for HDR you should see the brightness go to 100 in the settings, Amazon is having issues on the Tv's currently as they have updated to HDR10+ but the Tv's have not, and BBc Iplayer on the 2016 range wont do HLG via the APP on through HMDI, this is taken from a response i received from Panasonic.

Amazon was OK too as I tried the grand tour. Currently watching s5 of the walking dead and it looks horrendous

Annoying the Netflix app wont do 4K on a 4K tv , i got Amazon HDR to work by using the green button to filter for 4k

I watched the siege of jadotville on Netflix and it was definitely 4k and hdr

I'll have a look when little one goes up to bed but I think I was on true cinema. Backlight and contrast go upto 100
