This does not explain the funny behaviour of Dickong's 4K HDR TV.

Okay... IF player cannot switch off HDR... sent signal out to TV. Then TV detect and HDR auto Switch On. Now, if I don't want TV to use HDR, then use TV setting to set HDR Off... This is supposed to be happening on the TV side.

When the TV detected HDR, it should be auto Switch On BUT.... why have to change TV HDR setting to OFF so that got HDR ?? Does not make sense.

I agree that its good to have option to switch off HDR on the TV side BUT its the opposite... Switch HDR Off on TV in order to get HDR? Switch the TV HDR On and then got colour problem !! IF TV HDR On or Off both still got HDR, then why put HDR On/Off setting in the TV?

When TV auto detected HDR, it should auto Switch On and when this happens, got yellowish colour problem !! I thought it should be some compatibility issues or bug which need to be fixed in a future firmware update. So this should explain why got colour problem when TV auto HDR On. BUT... Dickong said he had to set his TV HDR to Off so that HDR works !! TV HDR set to Off and then got HDR. Really confusing to me loh.

Is TV HDR On used to make "emulated (false) HDR" for receiving signal that is Non-HDR? Is "emulated HDR" possible? Setting TV HDR to Off to make HDR to work is the thing I do not understand here. Its not about whether the TV have HDR On/Off setting is useful or not for people who don't want HDR.

NOTE : Yellowish tint when TV HDR set to On
I think the best way to get answers on whether this is the actual behaviour or TV have problem/issue is to contact Samsung service centre and ask them about this. If possible, talk to a Samsung technician for advice or explanation and see whether any further checking is needed or not. I know very very little on HDR.

@Dickong,

If have done, then just ignore below. If haven't, then try this below...

Since you are using a Samsung 4K TV, it should be similar.

Before you do this, switch off both the TV and 4K Player (not standby), then unplug HDMI cable from 4K Player. Then switch on both TV and Player.

Go to "Picture" >> "Picture Options". Refer to attached photo. If you connect 4K Player to TV HDMI 1, then change TV HDMU UHD Color to "ON"

After the change, switch off both TV and player. Plug HDMI cable back again from player to TV. Switch both TV and player on.

Done. And test play 4K HDR Bluray with TV HDR set to On.

HDMI UHD Color

Turn On or Off HDMI UHD color setting. What is it
What is HDMI UHD Color and should I turn_it_on

Thanks bro.i will try it tomorrow bcos now not at home.

Hope this works to get the correct colour, not yellowish screen.

My previous post did not add in "attached photo". Forgot.

Here it is...

Bro.same when on hdr at tv the color a bit yellowish. I notice when hdr is being detect at tv it seem the picture mode change the setting to dyanamic

Too bad. I think its better to contact Samsung Service Centre for their comment on the colour problem and find out what caused this issue. I don't know but ask them whether you need any proper calibration done to the TV for HDR. Once HDR is detected, your TV changed to Dynamic automatically so you cannot change it back to "Standard" ??



I believe that you have tested with different HDMI cables but if not, then test with other cables. Test Oppo 203 HDMI Out to AVR and then AVR HDMI Out to TV. Also test with Oppo 203 HDMI 1 direct to TV and then HDMI 2 direct to TV.

I don't have Oppo 203 but I think should have similar "HDMI Options". Try changing from "Auto" to YCbCr 4:4:4 or 4:2:2. Refer to attached photo.

HDMI from player to avr totally no hdr detect but tv can on hdr but still.yellowish color n hdmi 1 to tv straight can detect hdr but on hdr from tv also color yellowish. By the way i think my avr cant detect hdr ( yammy A2040 )

After so many different setting, maybe is the colour profile on your TV does not support or not load with HDR ? Not sure if this the issue.

As said earlier this tv definately support hdr its only when player set to hdr but the tv must not ON hdr. It seems it auto detect hdr from tv so when u on hdr from tv its like ON hdr twice. But from player hdr to tv i can really see a lot different in pq n color depth.

Had you reported to Samsung?

Not yet but i having been thinking that nothing is wrong since it can detect hdr direct except some setting n wait later they might come up with firmware to verify it

Which is a better option overall? Area to cover is 580sqft would say around 5,800cubft. Mostly for Movies, Fronts alrdy using Klipsch, not planning to play super loud to wake neighbour or tear down the wall. . Taking sealed subs into consideration, hence SB16 came into the picture

Dual SVS

Reminder

Err... how is 580 sq. ft = 5800cu. ft? You cannot directly relate them since cubic feet has 1 extra layer dimension (height). So which is which?

To answer your question, the PB16 Ultra is undeniably the better sub. It has a lot more output below 25hz than the R115. Even if you couple 2xR115 in the same area for maximum amount of gain (+6db~), the PB16 Ultra will still beat them below 16hz with ease. Of course, place them (R115) well and they'll sound smoother than a single sub. You have to decide which is more important to you, smoother response over more seats or more output for 1 (or 2) seats.

Now since your room dimensions isn't clear and I presume that 580 sq. ft is your floor space only, then both subs should (in theory) should cover the space quite well with relative headroom to spare. It's really all down to how big your bank account is.

Personally I'd say buy 1 PB-16U now, then buy another PB-16U later on when you have the funds. Buy once, enjoy forever.

580sqft with 10' ceiling. hence 5800 cuft.

but damn.
that's like 20x30. need quad pb16 for that size

I'm running single R115 now, considering whether to get another R115 or, sell it off to get SB16U. Fund wise, 2xR115 or 2xPB2000 is somewhere close to a single SB16U. Sorry for the typo, supposed to be SB not PB, as PB seems too big and bulky in the living, and there is also a price leap from SB16U.


That's how I assume 5800 cuft, 580sqft x 10ft ceiling

PB2000 x 2 is the way to go

SVS.. bought one without even hear in the 1st place...never look back

Alright, in that case... even dual PB-16Us aren't going to be enough. Since you said SB16U, that's even less output.

Dual PB2000s will get you more output than a single SB16u below 25hz though. How loud are you usually going to be playing your system btw?
