    Hi,
    one additional tip from me. Since around 1 year the VU-4Ks are capable of HDR live and recording when the source is HDR. My Philips TV only showed HDR when is was not HLG up to this december then they had a firmware update for the TV and now also HLG works. So look if there is new firmware for your TV.

    ciao

    Thanks for this. That was actually what I was asking in one of my previous posts, but I maybe didn’t explain it well.

    I was advised that if channel not broadcasting in HDR (but 4k) then obviously output will not be in HDR. I download a lot of 4k movies (proper HDR) via sabnzbd plugin directly to internal HDD on receiver.

    On the gigablue when playing this content, the HDR logo would never flash up on my tv or allow me to switch on HDR plus she on checking , it shows me that the content being displayed is in fact SDR.

    This is great news though, and I think I will be happier now when the Vu+ uno 4k arrives.

    I was confused as to why it stated HDR capable on Vu official website. That clears it up.

    I would imagine there are currently no “usuable” channels broadcasting in HDR at present anyway ? As the channel I was testing the gigablue on was Canal+ 4k on 13e.

    Happy to hear that this will play my downloaded content as HDR though

    Gigablue ue 4k - connecting as SDR only not HDR?

    Hi,
    on my Ultimo 4K I also have no special HDR setting. Only color space and 10/12 bit output.

    I can see both the colorimetry, and the 8bit/10bit/12bit output on the Gigablue but none of those settings have any effect in terms of the HDR logo displaying or the info showing it displaying in anything other than SDR

    Will test it out when the uno 4k arrives and try all the settings.

    Thank you all though for input so far

    VU+ Uno4K SE doesn't have any settings for HDR or colorimetry.

    Just an update on this guys, on testing the Uno 4k, when I go to a 4k channel the HDR logo DOES in fact appear now on my TV screen and I can also then access the HDR Plus picture settings on my TV which is a big bonus for me and I can def see the difference in terms of contrast etc. When I play a downloaded movie from the HDD on this , I also get the HDR logo and can also adjust the picture settings as above.

    Using the Gigablue UE 4k I could not see the HDR logo on screen at any stage nor could I access HDR plus during a live broadcast or indeed playing of 4k movie which I downloaded to the HDD.

    So all in all I am happy that I sent the Gigablue UE 4k back to the supplier and replaced with this. Not saying that its not a great receiver, but this makes a big difference for me anyway
