i ran some tests with below files on my equipment... 4k HDR (non Dolby vision) tv, 4k HDR (non-Atmos AVR).



Q10pro (hdmi 2.0a) deliver HDR10, DDTrueHD - expected. Not blank screen or broken audio.

below explanation says it all. and i am quite sure Atmos works the same way - a layer of meta data on top of DD+ or DDtrueHD.
if u r shopping for a new TV, and i think u r... get a copy of some of those files on thumbdrive/HDD, take it to test on the shop TV USB playback.
those files work fine on my TV direct usb playback, get 4k HDR as expected.
my understanding is the TV need to be HDCP2.2, hdmi 2.0a compliant to deliver HDR10 and DV (need license).
need hmdi 2.0b for HLG.
many 4kHDR tv's cost rm3-4K, no DV... some people even say they are "fake"... u can shop for those 8-10K, i guess.
latest hdmi2.1 with much higher bandwidth will take care of everything... sure.. if u have the $$$ to replace everything!
it's all about $$$... how fat yr wallet is for avantgarde tech.

any one try Dolby Vision file with this player? will it still able to play or black screen? some of the 4k bluray movie files already come with Dolby Vision....

I downloaded a LG promotional DV video from https://4kmedia.org/tag/dolby-vision/

Black screen only but can receive audio.

When connected to my TV directly, the DV file plays without any issue.

china models, i hv no idea.

from the specs, it seems to a variation of the Q5pro which is 3 years old.

i will not encourage u to buy it:

.. china models, u get no support and warranty locally or from int'l distributors like futeko UK.
.. china models do not have google, youtube, chrome - u hv to find yr own way to install them.
.. china models installed apps mostly work in china only, can't work outside.
.. 2+8gb is handicapped - u will run out of storage quickly.

if u r to buy, better buy current Q10pro locally which is in'tl version, 2+16 gb, android7, firmware updates still coming.

if u can wait, new model coming year end, i hear.

how do u plan to use the box if u buy one?

Hi. How do i check if my Q10 Pro is China model or International model? I bought one recently in Digital Mall PJ

How much did you paid?

Hi. How do i check if my Q10 Pro is China model or International model? I bought one recently in Digital Mall PJ

chances are locally sold ones are int'l.

to be sure, u can ask seller...

or u can tell me what u see:

settings, advance, device info... what is written there?

I went into the device info last night. Firmware 2.1.1, Android 7.0, 16GB ROM, etc. All are in English. There is access to Google Playstore and also Youtube. I think should be international version

Ok, looks like int'l box.

if u had just bought this box, the seller did not update firmware for you.

latest is 2.1.4.

Oh ok. Any significant improvements in your opinion? I checked on Futeko, 2.1.4 is mainly for improvements to Kodi. I'm thinking of skipping it, coz the player is working fine now. Firmware updates are stressful

it's fine if u do not update but one day if u find something amiss, then u have to do it.

can't remember all of it, but each update has a few minor improvements.

Thank you for your input.
Btw, I've been testing out 4K content on the Himedia Q10 Pro with Sony X7000F for the past few days. Are there any ways to check whether I'm actually viewing the content in 4K? I'm asking because both 1080P and 4K contents look really sharp. Could it be that the Himedia is upscaling the 1080P content?

there must be a button on yr tv remote to show... check it.. maybe labeled "display" or something like that.

also, whenever a video starts playing, the tv may flash the info for a couple of secs.

should be something like "2160p 24hz" or 2160p 24hz HDR" if the video is such.

if u set Q10pro at 1080p, tv will show 1080p, tv will likely upscale it.

try more videos, look carefully... there is a significant diff between 1080p vs 2160p, SDR vs HDR.

I set the Q10 Pro at 2160p.

I did try with the green "info" button on the Sony remote. It only displays the resolution info which is 3840x2160, but nothing on the refresh rate or HDR. Let me try again tonight. Thanks

Avfan so which best HD Netflix apk works for the box now?
