djunited wroteTech Guru wrotedjunited wroteguess ill try his setting too. i dont think he uses hdr settings anymore he has recent settings for the x930e he talks about it while playing injustice 2. question if for example there is a scene in a movie with sunrys through a forest. if i am viewing in sdr will the raysbe of higher brightness than the rest of the scene or does this occur only in hdr mode? or maybe not related if its in sdr or hdr since this is the tv that controls the brightness of objects in the scene? what about the motion issues that he describes concerning the 930? he even says the 900ehas better motion even though it has an inferior processor.
When you switch to HDR mode through a HDR movie source outputting a 10 bit HDR signal the TV Brightness on high lights will automatically cross 1000 nits and on shadows local dimming will sure the contrast and black levels are at most 0.05 nits. Slso, wide color gamut coverage will be initiated. The result is a more life-like image compared to SDR. Also in HDR 10 / Dolby Vision source mode, the content metadata plays a role , since the content has HDR metadata that the TV knows which scene highlights needs illumination and the level of illumination and which scene needs a certain level of contrast to be lowered for real blacks. In SDR nothing is happening , brightness is set across all the screen and contrast too with the same level @ a regular color gamut with an 8bit color depth and combinations. 256 values between 0% and 100% luminescence is not nearly enough when expanding the total dynamic range of luminescence – or brightness – that we want to faithfully record, or even deliver in the end to a HDR-capable display.By adding an additional two bits of data to each channel, we quadruple the total number of values per channel to 1024, which means we can now assign levels 0 – 1023. This results in the ability to record a higher overall range of luminescence values, or contrast ratio (dynamic range), and a wider color gamut.
Motion is "eye-sensitive", on a technical side the x930e beats the x900e in motion

I go with technical reviews , not with objective sense oriented ones.
The x930e beats the X900e in all categories , even it beats the x900f

im wondering if he has the 8bit panel because he mentions when he switches to hdr that he only sees paler colors not more colors.
so sdr content will have a uniformely lit screen where local dimming is not activated and highlights do not cross 1000 nits? i read somewhere sdr bluray movies are upscaled to 4k and some sort of hdr is implemented as well to mimic real hdr.
if there i a link of the settings you are currently using please send it. any issues with your panel? the tv is getting installed on september 11 so i wanna make sure before i sign off on everything that my panel is ok. would love to get some pointers from you and if possible maybe download a series of tests on a usb drive to test the tv.
This person contradicts himself , some times he praises HDR and sometimes you find him he downshort HDR.
Let me tell you
BF1 (Tested Dolby Vision too from the PC Output)
Injustice 2
God of War
Final Fantasy 15
Horizon Zero Dawn
Call of Duty : World War 2
Forza Horizon 7
AC Origins
Resident Evil 7
Looks phenomenal on the X930e in HDR Mode , waiting for more games that will be released soon that will have HDR like Spider Man , BF World War 2 .. More and more games / movies are riding the wagon of HDR.
For proper Blue Ray on this TV you need a native 2160p blue ray reader and a native 2160p HDR movies as such no upscaling will happen and proper HDR 10 meta data will be sent , no fake HDR mimicks. 1080p Blue Ray movies with a fullhd blueray receiver are not HDR and upscaling will take place. Usually all HDR ones are 2160p only.
As for your panel concern tell them where is the TV manufactured it , stay away from: Taiwan/Philippians/China - most probably they will be UC1 with an 8bit + FRC panel not the real 10bit panel of the x930e.
