Maybe you can help me with final tuning on my new 4K tv. As previously posted, got a TCL 55S405 55" 4K UHD HDR tv couple weeks ago. After some adjustment of picture settings both basic and advanced, I've got 'er looking pretty good if I say so myself. Certainly short of a paid ISF calibration, but very acceptable for our everyday viewing.
Have one remaining question, however, and it is thus: Is all 4K content *automatically* HDR also? Only 4K I've been playing so far is Youtube videos. There's one called Norway from the Air with 4K drone video that is absolutely stunning in it's hi-res clarity.
So how do I know if the HDR feature of the tv is kicking in? My tv's setup menu has an option called "HDR Notification" which I have set to enabled. But I've never gotten any pop-up notifications or whatever, that HDR is active or however it's supposed to notify me. So I was just curious if I'm seeing HDR already in the 4K Youtube demos or if it's not happened yet, since haven't seen any notification by the tv about it.
Without getting into to my settings, the one thing that helped most to true up the color was setting Color Space to Auto from the default of Native. Native was causing just a tad too much color "pop" and Auto seems to have brought the color to a very real look and not quite the over saturation of Native This is all done per each input for the tv of course.
