It means it will accept the signal but will not be able to display it correctly.

Think of it like when most TV's were 720p but they accepted a 1080p signal, they just downscaled it to 720p.

It will accept the signal of a HDR source but it will downscale it to something it can display correctly.

For HDR to look its best you need a much more expensive TV with FALD LED. Most TV's use LED's around the edge, so if you have a bright object in the middle of the screen then the edge lit LED's are not going to make it that bright without making the dark parts look bright too.

FALD LED TV's are usually thicker than edge lit LED TV's because they have a full grid of LED's behind the display lighting it up. So as an extreme example if there is a torch or candle in the middle of the screen it can light up those individual LED's that are behind the torch and it would look bright whilst keeping the rest of the screen dark.

Of course HDR is also about the amount of colour on the screen, so it is not just that. That is why some people ask if things are 10 bit panels. 10 bit panel = more colours can be displayed.

Well I hope that helps, it kind of turned into a long explanation :smiley:

But it's England, the picture quality is usually worse when viewing through a window!

If it's an 8 bit panel, it won't be able to display HDR, only accept an HDR signal.
They (and all TV manufacturers) need to be a lot clearer in their advertising with these TV's.
Borderline lying.

wow

Good deal

genuine 10 bit all the way for HDR?

Just need a new tv as the 1 I have is 10 years old but still going strong, but the quality picture is a bit poor. Wood this tv suit me for just watching TV stuff like football and not play station games r things like that. Seems a good price.

Next posted it as the reviews were not great. On the lookout for a 50+ inch tv but want better spec

Never*

Pure crap mine lasted 2 months beware

Lack of HDR puts me off. Richer sounds have the better model for £599.
