Just changed my TV to a 4K model. But it shows that is receiving 1080p signal from my Q10 Pro eventhough the content I am playing is 2160p HVEC file. I am using an unknown HDMI cable brand connected directly from Q10 to the 4K TV without going through any AVR.

What could be the problem? Is it due to my TV settings or Himedia settings?

Thank you.

2 considerations:

1. what do u usually watch with the box-TV?
if mostly 2160p hevc playback, set to 2160p 24hz as this is most common.

if mostly 1080p playback and other apps... best to set to 1080p 50hz... becos most live streams are in 25hz, some 30hz.
if yr firmware is up to date (2.1.4), it does auto frame switching; so this part is actually taken care of.
only that it is annoying to see the messages flashing on the tv every time there is a hz change when u change a video stream.

2. how good is yr TV upscaling?
if v good, u might want to set to 1080p for 1080p/lower streams, let TV upscale.
the box can be set to 2160p to upscale too but it may come out not as good on yr tv - this u gotta try and see.

Thanks again @AVFAN. Great info.

Mostly 2160p HVEC files.

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.
