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.

cheers Huggett93

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.

Considering I paid £20 more for the 42inch version only a month ago at Currys, this is hot for me.

This TV has HDR

£40 more gets you it at John Lewis with 5 yrs warranty.

Price match it with Argos at £499.

bought this TV in the 55 inch for 789 pounds . so this price for the 50 is a great deal . amazing 4k picture . very fast when hardwired to Internet. I'd buy this one but the Mrs said no way. :disappointed:

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

Tvs10 voucher code gives you 10% at Argos, which makes it 449.10 + free three month gamefly sub with games controller through claim form.

​it's compatible, but all the TV is doing is processing the signal, not displaying it.

I have the 55 version and it's still a great TV, well worth it at this price.

​what on earth does that even mean? So confused! This HDR business is a minefield. I want a tv that will utilise the HDR features on the Xbox one S also, but it's impossible to tell on most retail sites. HELP!

plus 3% cashback via topcashback (if it tracks with a voucher code)

Seems that you will get a little bit of an hdr effect with an 8 bit panel but far more significantly better effect with a 10 bit panel.

I almost bought a Panasonic 49" HD for the same price. The spec on this is much higher, including USB recording and DLNA compliant.
Ordered yesterday, thanks.

Heattttt

The best you can do at the moment in terms of "future proofing" is getting an "Ultra HD Premium" certified TV that's either OLED or LED with "FALD". If you're looking to play games, you'll want a TV with low input lag too. At the moment, there is only one TV that meets all the criteria and that's the very expensive Samsung KS9500.

I've never noticed the lag on my Samsung KS7500. I'm far from a pro gamer but still...

how many 10 bit hdr panels can you get for £460 ?
get them up as deals

I had this tv and I sent it back.

I bought it for the world cup but the banding (I didn't even know what banding was until I had this tv) was so bad I couldn't watch any matches or tv shows with light scenes.

I wouldn't recommend it even at this price.

So want this TV but think I will hold out to Black Friday.

The input lag on the KS7500 is very good (21ms). It doesn't have FALD though so it isn't going to be ideal for HDR content.

Just wait... 4K is still a waste of time until they ratify everything.

I don't have a tv currently and need one, this the best value for under £500 at the moment? That's what I'm reading from all this.

Anyone know why they have reduced the 3D options for these HDR models

Horror, I wasn't responding to you, it was an earlier poster who was sort of mocking that's its only 8 bit.
I'm sticking with my Panasonic plasma myself until things pan out on the HDR front, the price of 4k TV's are reducing all the time, however not much content for now.

Why do women "wear the trousers" in so many households? Is it because many men earn less now?
Controlling behaviour is now harassment. If she says "no" contact the police.

Weak, feeble and under the thumb! :wink: Only joking, I think!

Jose, post your deal up, big difference between £460 and £599 for a smaller tv

Do you know when is Black Friday???

I am after a good 65" HDR TV under £800 any suggestions???

Any decent options for 32" 4k HDR tvs on the market? Not sure much a 32" screen benefits from 4K but I don't want a monster size TV.

No such thing is available in this size/price range

This seems alright for the price and for what it is. Personally I'm going to wait until 4K and HDR have been standardised properly.

Does anyone have any recommendations for fairly priced and decent 1080p HDTV's 40"-55"? Don't care if it's "smart" or not as I have an Android TV box, Chromecast, and games consoles.

Robbery

Save up some more?

Not looked into it much but at that price it will still be edge lit LED and not FALD.

Of course it depends how much you want to get into HDR.

So basically this says it has HDR but it doesn't it just works with HDR equipment (as all T.V's without HDR do) Surely it must do something with the HDR that my old Plasma with no HDR at all does?
The HD comparison doesn't add up to me. From what I remember they used to say HD ready when they only meant 720p not 1080p. I don't remember them saying full 1080p HD when it wasn't

Any good for gaming?

Like few others here I am also looking for a decent smart tv simple one just for watching TV movies and bit of browsing .. Is this a good option or can I get another Samsung tv at a cheaper price ? Thanks

​i haven't seen 32" 4k tv yet, all seem to be 40"+?

​I was told by a Samsung rep today that 7 Series and above is the only one that has 10bit panels for proper HDR!

Got to hold out.

I always say mad getting a new TV until the old one has packed up, but this deal is so hot and tempting.

Bet the old 720p plasma Hitachi a friend gave me years ago has a lot more life in it. :smile:

Absolutely awful TV. Sorry.

Yeh, just popped in to Richer Sounds and apparently that ones not 'proper' HDR either. They were pushing the LG 55UH770V because they are doing them for £948 instead of £1300 and it does HDR10 and DOLBY VISION

25th November this year.

I think it does have a 10 bit panel but doesn't meet the HDR10 standard. That's what Richer Sounds said, but the whole thing is ridiculously confusing.

Apparently the 10 bit panel does means it can produce many more colours than an 8 bit panel

I'm waiting for the 12 bit panel and super HDR :stuck_out_tongue:

isnt the Argos deal cheaper with the tvs10 code?

Can someone please explain my best and cheapest option for getting a 4k/HDR TV for my Xbox S then please

I agree, advertising as HDR when it can process but not display it is literally lying

​not sure but I'm sure Amazon won't be long in letting us know. :wink:

oh wow UE65KS9500 costs £3,499.00 at Currys right now (i'm crying inside)

looking up the specifications on KS9500 at http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/9c3b565
it looks like its a true 10 bits panel though

maybe i'll buy this in 5 years time with its under £1k

lol mate you have a point there

​i have seen the LG49uh850v for £749.99 , but unsure how the mid end LG compares to the Samsung?

err that's exactly what i'm wondering??

confusing why this is getting so much heat than Argos post

:neutral_face:

do people prefer Ao.com over Argos? I'm confused!

I can get this £449.10 with TVS10 code plus £3.95 delivery so total £453.05 and gets tomorrow delivery!

​Better model? what model do you mean please?

​Fully agree, people are getting conned just like when TV's were advertised as "HD Ready" but were NOT full HD 1080P

What is FALD?​

​inhale a fart

Which Samsung do you mean? The equivalent spec Samsung to the LGUH770V is still well over £1k in Richer Sounds.

The 'lower spec' (i.e. No HDR10 or DOLBY VISION) Samsung UE55KU6400 is £800 in Richer Sounds.

I know these are larger TVs than the 49" discussed here, but I went in to look at a 49 and thought a 55 would probably be more appropriate for my viewing distance.

Ku6400 in either 49 or 55. 49 is £599 and 55 is £800 at Richer Sounds. Reviews seem significantly better than the 6000 series that this deal is about.

​hi there. not sure what the LG compares to directly at this price price. it looks like a lot of tv for the money and as you say you need the ks7000 to get anywhere near this spec and thats well over a grand.

​Spot on, or, with TV's, you really do get what you pay for. When I upgrade from my Panasonic GT50 I'm expecting to pay around £800-1k next year for a similar size. Plenty of cheap TV's around that display a good image but every time you pay that little bit extra you are getting more.

This TV or the Hisense 50M3300 which is about £387 in Argos right now and supposedly has 10bit panel with HDR via a Firmware update?? Mainly for use on Xbox and Sky Q with UHD.

Alice through the looking glass :wink:

That ks9500 - amazing telly!

Is that FALD as well?

Do you know the latest price for the Hisense 65M5500?? Is it 10 bits panel??

Does anybody know what ULED on Hisense new TV means??? I got NO idea!!

​a what the difference between the hisense 55/50 inch 3000,5000 and 7000 series.

same software and same panel?... I understand that the 7000 has some version of local dimming but that's it's... I'm struggling to know the differences

can anyone illuminate.

looking to buy a 55/50 inch very soon and the hisense models especially the new ones with the 10bit hdr panels seems great for my needs.
for use with regular telly and gaming.

Went into currys had a look at most tv's thought the Samsung ku6400 looked amazing against the other sets for its price of £599 looked at the Panasonic range colours looked good very plasma looking which I've always favoured over LCD .at the end of the day will go for a Samsung ku6400 the colours were as good as the LG oled

have you got 20/20 vision?

Thank you!
Ordered one last Friday and it was delivered on Saturday. :smiley:

Is this deal no longer available at this price? Can't seem to find it
