What is HDR?
• HDR is High Dynamic Range. Using this feature the TV can reproduce a greater
dynamic range of luminosity by capturing and combining several different
exposures. HDR promises better picture quality thanks to brighter, more realistic
highlights, more realistic colour and other improvments. It delivers the look that film
makers intended to achieve, showing hidden areas of dark shadows and sunlight in
full clarity colour and detail.
HDR isn't working on HDMI sources
• When viewing HDR content via a HDMI source you must select ENHANCED in the
SOURCE SETTINGS menu.
