Menu Operation: Expert Setting > HDR

You can configure the HDR content-reproduction method.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) makes dark and light areas of the image more expressive than before.

  1. Press the MENU button.
  2. Select [Picture] - [Expert Setting] - [HDR] - the desired setting.

Settings

[Auto]

It distinguishes HDR content automatically to apply the optimal image quality. You can change the HDR setting selected automatically when HDR10-compliant content is distinguished.

  • [HDR10/HLG]: When a signal is HDR10 compliant, the [HDR10] setting is applied. When it is HLG compliant, the [HLG] setting is applied.
  • [HDR Reference/HLG]: When a signal is HDR10 compliant, the [HDR Reference] setting is applied. When it is HLG compliant, the [HLG] setting is applied.

[HDR10]

Set this when you reproduce HDR10-compliant content.

[HDR Reference]

This is suitable for reproducing HDR10-compliant content with a maximum brightness of 1,000 nit.

[HLG]

Set this when you reproduce HLG-compliant content.

[Off]

Set this when you reproduce content other than HDR content.

Hint

  • When [Auto] is selected and a signal is BT.2020 compatible, the [Color Space] is set to [BT.2020] automatically.

Note

  • If the setting is not correct for the input content, the light and dark areas of the image may appear too light or too dark.
  • When you set [HDR10] or [HDR Reference], compare the image quality in both settings, then select the one that optimally displays the average brightness and gradation of the light area.
