Great Dolby Vision HDR Display with Unusable HDR10 Image Quality
I received this TV yesterday. I was super-excited to unbox and test out. Being a budget TV I had my expectations in check. I loaded up a few Dolby Vision titles on VUDU (Black Panther, All the Money in the World, Harry Potter, etc) and all looked great! The motion smoothing that was present in the 2017 TV is nearly gone (big plus) and the audio sync drift that was also present in the 2017 model doesn't appear to be an issue. HOWEVER...
When I began to play HDR10 content this TV chokes - big time! Checking out "The Post" on FandangoNow, "King Kong" on VUDU, and "Starship Troopers" on Amaazon, each displays a hyper-elevated black level, massively blown-out whites, and overall impossibly bad imagery. I double and triple check my settings - including the ROKU app. Nothing fixes. HD content via antenna or streaming looks just fine and Dolby Vision HDR looks fantastic. HDR10 is unacceptably terrible!
Given that HDR10 is the baseline standard for 4K HDR I'm hoping this will be fixed ASAP via a software update.
