Any other UHD picture on Amazon Netflix PS4 is far better than the iplayer on my Samsung KS9000, it does make me think that all i am seeing is an upscaled HD feed though..... Anyway i can't stand football so it doesn't really matter and for now it is only the BBC iplayer app that is using this kind of hlg format, hopefully that won't change if my TV can't support it.


I am rather pissed with Samsung though that a top of the range 2016 TV that i bought in April 2017 is said not to support the iplayer hlg format and will never do it.

yeah sorry thats what I meant, that maybe your not seeing the true 4k picture for some reason. some people are saying they can access the feed through their TV app when its not on the list and some are saying its working on some devices, but not as intended so its giving strange colours.

its also set with different profiles so if your connection isnt good enough it drops to a lower standard.

yeah I dont blame you about samsung, they are a one of the worst I have ever encountered and wont ever buy another samsung product of any variety.

your TV does support HLG, just not in the streaming variety that iplayer use! it should be okay on a regular transmission if what I read was true.

the picture at full 4k is a lot better, especially if you switch about between the HD version.
