49xe9005 - questions

[mobilyuk]

Hi

I've just bought the 49xe9005 and have a few questions:

- Has the TV been updated to accept HLG as promised in various reviews?

- Do the Netflix & YouTube apps play 4k HDR videos via the internal app?

- Does anyone have any details of preferred picture settings?

Many thanks

Hi,

I have a 49EX9005. How do I configure YouTube for HDR and is there some example link Is can use for some videos?

Thanks

Hmmm oddly I have to force HDR10 mode on the advanced options to get it working with YouTube. Auto does not work. Any ideas?

I don't think the YouTube app has HDR functionality on the XE9005.

It does. I've used it. The only problem is to enable HDR I have to manually select HDR10. This then detects HDR in the picture settings. Looks great. The problem is if Auto is selected it remains in standard colour.

I thought selecting HDR10 shows SDR pictures but with a pseudo HDR10 image?

Ahh that explains it then, assume we are not getting support in Youtube then. Oh well. Thats a shame.
