RGBW Panel, not true 4K Unfortunately, good if you're on a budget.

It is HDR 10 though which is interesting

HDR10 is a content format and while it'll accept that it doesn't have anything in the way of extra display hardware for HDR. You need to spend a lot more if you want a TV with an actual increase in dynamic range.

It will, you just won't see the higher contrast and more realistic lighting of the HDR content. Depending on how the TV adapts the HDR signal to it's capabilities it may be a small improvement over non-HDR or it may be a combination of dynamic contrast and vivid mode. Fortunately TVs that do the latter generally have an option to turn it off if you're not feeling psychedelic.
This is a relatively cheap, large TV that avoids (most of) the downsides of budget sets. Don't treat it as anything more than that and ignore all the marketing buzzwords. I certainly wouldn't replace a perfectly good TV of any age with this unless you just want something bigger.
I disagree, it's just one trade-off among many in a lower mid range TV like this. It's not even one that's of particularly large impact so I don't know why people are singling it out.

To be honest, you are only going to notice that if you have a component signal without chrome subsampling. Most entertainment devices supply a signal with 4:2:0 chrome subsampling, and then the RGBW display does not make any significant difference.
It also does not have a DisplayPort input, which is an indication that it is not meant to be used with a PC.

HDMI 2.0 though? Still, buyers should somehow penalise manufactures for basically lying through their teeth. Not that Samsung and the like don't do it (QLED, a nice play on words with OLED, and their tvs are not even QLED yet, they just use this as a marketing scheme)

You know your stuff. More people need to be aware of this. Keep spreading the word. There is a specific 4K logo that are on true 4K screens. Is it the gold one?

It has an 8 bit panel and is RGBW :disappointed: also last years model. The 58UH635V is a much better buy at around £650 as it has a MVA panel so decent blacks and is a proper 4k tv :smile:
