DOTDASHDOT when turning HDR module on, do you also suggest decreasing OLED light for Dolby Vision? I know that normally you wouldn't set it above 50 and this essentially does that.

I haven't looked at Dolby yet, I was going to later, it'll be workable whatever.

For a 65"???????????
I mean, I'm looking forward to a 100" rollable OLED that can ceiling mount like a projector...but that's a LONG LONG way away if they're charging $30k for a 65"
Well this is really interesting, OLED light past 50, DOESN'T increase luminance any further, it lightens the picture like gamma, but it does not get actually brighter! Step in module HDR, the peak brightness not only increases by some margin, the highlight detail is kept, along with blacks like you'd expect, I don't see a downside to this at all, it's great :)
Hmm Hisense ULED XD televisions. Basically a 1080p gray scale lcd panel attached behind a 4k color panel. Grey scale panel makes it like having 2 million dimming zones. Anti-glare screen also.
Hmm I was watching one of vt's earlier videos and he was saying that turning on this setting for 2018s lowered hdr peak brightness by 100 nits. Does the setting in 2017s behave different?
Nobody cared when I talked about it :P
Panasonic showed it a couple of years ago, they claimed 10,000,00:1 Contrast ratio @1000nits at the time.
They use an IPS panel, in order to increase the viewing angle, as the blacks aren't as much as a concern in this style of dual modulation.
I suppose the reason for not doing it is that black levesl in LCDs have only become a big concern again as HDR content has come along and required more intense backlighting, which has made grey lack of blacks and blooming far more obvious.
My post was regarding Dolby Vision, he said high on 2019 models maxes out the potential, but it's hidden on other models, I can tell you this, nothing about this reduces anything, you'll gain 20%, I just watched the lightning scene in Mad Max, holy shit that's bright with module on, I'm not kidding.
You must be getting confused with another setting.
Got a couple of guys using it in AVF, they are loving it!

He said the opposite in his latest video! Lol, I can tell you 100%, it's a lot brighter, for 2017 models anyway.
I've done loads of colour checks too, they look the same, very very close.

Hmm, setting it to 49 restores true blacks but then I lose shadow detail. Oh well, but thanks for the tip.
That's why I was just double-checking. What he said in his video about the 2019s didn't really match so I got confused. lol You never know with service menu stuff so just erring on the side of caution.
Of course, so you should, but all I can say is what I'm seeing, it's an upgrade pure and simple.
None of that old video makes sense, you're not losing 100 nits, you're gaining around 150-200 nits haha.
I hate it and I wish it would go away. Thank God not every game has this. While Fallout 76 has it, Fallout 4 doesn't. Just a clean sky without any ugly stuff. Not too much to ask for you'd think. Wonder why it happens.
Ridiculously interested in that Hisense TV! I want OLED, but it seems good alternatives are coming so it's a good time to wait and see (as if I have the funds anyways :P)
Yeah, that's pretty cheap. Can I get that with 24 months financing at Best Buy?!
Imagine that thing got burn in and they wouldn't cover it under warranty. 😂

Yeah, no chance I'd buy any tech at 30k but DEFINITELY not without a warranty

Agreed, and at that point it really doesn't matter if it's $30k, $50k or whatever
indeed 2900nits peak AND something like 0.0003cdm2 is pretty impressive
For HDR it needs to be on (at High), but for SDR it really is a matter of preference. On my 930e, I alternated between low and off for the longest time. I finally opted for disabling it, but I can imagine someone that would prefer it on. Just not too high.
One thing is certain though, if you feel the need to enhance contrast for SDR content, do it through the X-Tended Dynamic Range, and NOT using the Adv. Contrast Enhancer setting. That thing should stay off.
Ya'know, I think it's time I ask about this.
Ever since I got my B7 about 6 months ago I have noticed one specific spot get image retention very commonly. Where it quickly fades everywhere else, there's this one spot where it stays for upwards of several minutes before fading away. It's a dark blob on the bottom of the screen about mid-way between the right and center of the screen.
There isn't anything in my day-to-day use that stresses that specific part of the screen, so I'm curious is this a screen defect? It's starting to become more and more noticeable.

They've opted to support HDR10+ instead
There are a handful of Dolby Vision titles on the US amazong prime store, but just a few from Sony.
I feel like I have a doppelgänger. Posted the same question. I swear it's not me tho lol
I tried this HDR Module setting and while highlights in HDR are indeed brighter, it seems to mess with colors and SDR looks really off even if you turn OLED Light down -20.
2 million dimming zones yet there is a crap ton of blooming even in the preview pic.
It's not blooming.
That's going to be glare and reflections from other light sources. You can see it in the video .
You are also going to be getting some glare from the lenses.
He also talks about an anti glare filter, which I'm guessing is one of those Matt finishes which is why reflections are looking like bloom.
If there is no proper AR coating, then they points to it getting hot

Nah in the actual video you can see it dragging behind the moving objects on screen with a slight delay. The part where he sits next to it. Check out 2:25. Clearly leaving a trail.
Maybe only one of the two layers is shown in that demonstration, so the black portion of the color-layer will hide that blooming. Just guessing...
