known as 4K) which provides resolution of 3840 x 

2160 (4K:2K). It equals 4 times the resolution of Full

dynamic range of luminosity by capturing and then 

combining several different exposures. HDR/HLG

realistic highlights, more realistic colour and other 

improvements. It delivers the look that filmmakers 

intended to achieve, showing the hidden areas of 

dark shadows and sunlight with full clarity, colour and 

detail. HDR/HLG contents are supported via native 

and market applications, HDMI, USB inputs and over 

DVB-S broadcasts. Set the related HDMI source 

input as 

Enhanced 

from the 

Sources

 option in the 

Settings>System 

menu in order to watch HDR/HLG 

content, if the HDR/HLG content is received through 

an HDMI input. The source device should also be at 

least HDMI 2.0a compatible in this case.
