HDR Pro is probably LG marketing-speak for supporting HDR content without the full benefit of true HDR (like Dolby Vision).
*
i was reading something about HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

4k material not a lot, hdr10 material even less, Dolby Vision... some with Netflix, with a logo:

Dolby Vision is the "highest" - will need source, player and TV capable for that.

QUOTE
The main difference between Dolby Vision and HDR10 though, is the colour depth and brightness the content and equipment is capable of achieving. Dolby Vision content is mastered in up to 12-bit colour depth, compared to 10-bit of HDR10 (which is where HDR10 gets its name from). You may be wondering, what difference could 12-bit over 10-bit possibly make? Well, 12-bit colour depth gives access to over 68 billion colours, compared to just 1 billion with 10-bit. This means the colours you see from Dolby Vision films and on compatible TVs are going to be far more accurate and as the director intended.

In order to watch Dolby Vision content, you need to have the right equipment. The benefit of Dolby Vision TVs is that they can support HDR10 as well, but HDR10 TVs can't do Dolby Vision, so if you want the best of both worlds, Dolby Vision is the way to go.

Haha 😋 yup bro next tv should have true Dolby vision but the price should be reasonable if not normal Dolby enough for me 😋..if Time fiber 100mbps covered all area sure cun..I think LG 65UH615T didn't mention about hdr 10 in their spec kinda playing hide n seek..they mention about hdr pro only didn't give detail explanation..still this model is ips panel sure the black won't look deep..tech going up so fast but material very less still not worth

that usually means mischief, i will not trust.

it's like some android boxes claiming "5.1" to fool some people into believing it is dd/dts 5.1 when it is really aac5.1 or a 2.0 stream expanded into 5.1.

those shopping for a 4k, hdr tv... maybe this info is useful for u.

i do not know if other smart/android systems will do the same, but i am quite sure current 4k tv's with google androidtv (sony, sharp, philips) can do:

.. iflix
.. hypptv everywhere
.. astro-on-the-go

(and netflix 4k, of course.)

just sideload the apk's obtained on pc or copied elsewhere.

I still overhear comments in shops by other shoppers that no point getting 4k if just watching Astro. There IS a difference if you get the right set.
*
that, is to close a sale for budget sensitive buyers.

the diff is real - becos 4k, HDR have better engines.

not just astro - applies to all HD input.

of course, the best for the TV is obtained with 4k and HDR input.

DMT having promos so considering one of the following Q10 media box.

Sharp LC65UA330x 4kUHD Rm4899
Samsung UA65KU6000 UHD Rm5299
Sony KD65X8500D 4KHDR RM5899

Price wise am inclined towards Sharp but I can strectttted to Sammie or Sony for the 5 yrs warranty.

Any suggestions? Thanks
*
u mean u hv q10pro box already?



take note the sharp ua330x is a lower end 4k tv - non androidtv and does not have the same engine as the sharp ue630x.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3811168/+1080

however, if u have the q10pro, u may not really need the tv's androidtv.

comparing the 2 sharps, it may not make much of a diff for low-mid level videos but will be when playing the higher quality videos.

also note both do not have HDR as they are 2014-2015 models - hence cheaper.


the sony model will have both hdr and google's androidtv - highest price.

Thanks mate. Yes need to replace old tv to fully enjoy Q10 😁.
Looks like I need to increase by 1k to get better specs? Will check out Sony and others ard rm6k. Need to budget again.

With q10pro, u shud stretch yr budget to the full!

The box can do 4k, hdr, dolby vision which is 12 bit.

So, get a 4k hdr dolby vision tv too! biggrin.gif

should we get q10 if we have the latest sony tv that run on android tv os platform? heard that it is quite powerful as well.
*
the androidtv in sony should be same as those found in sharp and philips.

so, i will say it is good - more so if u already know how to sideload apps, maintain.

google's androidtv in tv's is the only way to do netflix 1080p and 4k; boxes cannot do except what is approved by netflix:
https://help.netflix.com/en/node/13444

on top of that, netflix already has many titles in HDR and Dolby Vision:
https://help.netflix.com/en/node/42384


but for media playback, the player in tv's are not so good, incl audio output.

to playback 4k, hdr, dolby vision, dsthdma, ddatmos, dtsx, u will need a player like q10pro.

for future proof 5 years, need to have player, avr and tv... all 4k, hdr, dolby vision.

and these 2 logos are what u wanna look for when buying a super-duper tv! biggrin.gif

hey guys, i'm looking for a uhd tv for my small room. the tv would not be much farther than the foot of the bed so i think 50" should be sufficient.
i have my eye on:-

Sony 49" 4K HDR Andriod LED TV KD49X7000D - RM2,699 (lazada)

Sharp AQUOS LED TV 50 inch LC50UE630X - RM2,799 (lazada)

having a smart/android tv will be handy and being in a room, i dont really want too many devices connected to it (wire clutter). however, at times i will connect my laptop to the tv.

which one would be better in terms of picture quality? and overall best buy?
any other tv's around that size, price bracket to recommend?

thanks guys
*
the 2 are similar in many ways.

both run on androidtv, very handy.

the sharp is non-HDR. the sony advertises it as HDR but this website says "This feature will be made available via future firmware update -see Sony support website for details/updates." - best to confirm it.
http://www.sony.com.au/electronics/televis.../specifications

since price is similar, go to the stores, let your eyes decide after watching them side by side!

Hi, thanks for the replies. Anyone using the two models have anything they dislike about it? Fiddly ui? Poor remote? Any comments on the little things besides picture quality?
I have been searching for relevant pro reviews but without much luck as different models are available in different countries. US/UK seem to have diff offering to us. And also the reviews generally focus on the best series instead of the entry level variants.
Looks like I might have to toss a coin to help me decide!

u can read about sharp ue630x here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3811168/+1080
