    Even better news. Thanks buddy.

    Haven't really had much of a play with it yet. I spent last night calibrating it, setting up and then trying out various 4K HDR content and consoles. I'll do all the rest tonight after dinner.

    Stellar work :thumb:

    Don't forget to set your HDMIs to "enhanced" modes if they're not already, lest you struggle with 4K HDR @ 60hz. I bewilders me that this isn't the default setting (or at least it wasn't with my 75XE94)

    Thanks for the tip. I'll check that later on today. Not had any issues so far though and I've been enjoying HDR and Dolby Vision content for the first time. Very impressive.

    The colour reproduction with the Triluminos display is mind-blowing...

    When I got my Sony I had a mild panic attack thinking it didn't support 4K HDR on the Xbox One until I found this out.

    Great tip about enhanced modes.. and as you suspected, XB1X wasn't in HDR mode because of the 'hidden' enhanced mode on a submenu.

    Now all working great!

    I wasted around an hour trying to figure out why my PS4 wasn't listing HDR 4K60 as a valid mode (but the 4K player was fine playing HDR 4K24), made worse by the fact that I had another variable in the form of a new AVR in the mix as well.

    Similarly my 4K monitor defaults to HDMI1.4 and DP1.1 on the inputs... queue up an hour of screwing around with drivers, control panels, cables, different outputs trying to get 4K60 output :rolleyes:

    It really is hidden away in an unnatural place on the menus. I personally would have put it in the advanced settings with the other HDR and HDMI settings but there you go.

    Appreciate the heads up because that would have had me stumped.
