What is HDR, what TVs and devices support HDR, and what HDR content can I watch?
To recap
Excellent colour and HDR handling is let down only by the single side edge illumination which can show its weakness in some extreme dark/light scenes, but overall this is an excellent connected TV that offers plenty to delight. It’s a little expensive, however, compared to Samsung’s 2016 models which it incrementally betters.
