I have always assumed this has something to do with the Lens that softens things a little in movies. I understand, years ago when my Mom would watch a Soap something was different than Movies or even Weekly Shows. One thing that confuses me is this 'Soap Opera Effect' (SOE) that folks keep referencing. No Micro Judder (that I was seeing on some PS3 Blu-Ray movies and some 4K streaming). And started the movie back up.ġ) It immediately sucked us both into the movie more and now we didn't want to shut it off.Ģ) So it appears that the '4K' isn't the big thing here on these TV's that make them pop but the Color Depth.īTW, I didn't see any crushed blacks (I've done zero adjustment on the TV). It was late and thought my wife and I could finish it another night.Īs soon as I stopped the Movie the TV popped up a box saying something to the Effect 'Deep Color HDR Device Detected, You must Click OK to Enable and reboot the TV to have it take effect.' So I did. I was actually a little disappointed in the Quality and the Movie itself. It felt like good quality BluRay (1080p). I just plugged in in (using old, but good, HDMI cables).Įverything seemed to auto detect, auto sense and it said 4K HDR in the corner and I thought I was good to go. I hope to get it professionally calibrated.Īnyway I just received the Philips UHD Blu-Ray player and bought one of the higher rated 4K Movies (The Martian).Īgain I've been pretty lazy and did NOTHING on research or setup. The Black crush has me a little concerned and 'micro' judder but the overall experience has been good. So overall I've been pretty happy (coming from KURO Elite Pro-111 50') I almost bought last year but the consensus by a lot of 'experts' said wait one more year and did. I have a LG OLED C6 65' TV I usually do a lot of research and education before I make a purchase like this.
