Be aware that YouTube does not show Dolby Vision. It can show HDR but only HDR10 or HLG. If you use the 'stats for nerds' option on the YouTube playback menu you'll see it's 3840x2160 with smpte2084(PQ) / bt2020 (which means HDR10)
Yes, this is a good example of a demo video for showing off what a screen can do, but that's what these type of videos are designed to do, being much less compressed than Sky's streaming output.

@fizzdisco yeah I see that YouTube doesn't support Dolby vision but still the quality and the blacks look a lot better than what sky glass are transmitting to our TVs, and also it me it also shows that the panel isn't as bad as people are making it out to be.

I think there's definitely room for improvement from sky glass and the tech rep also agreed sky have a lot to do, but am sure it'll definitely improve despite what people might disagree.

@Gothorp+23 Great link many thanks, as I just posted in another thread the picture /sound quality is highly dependant on the source and formats used, hopefully something that will continue to improve over time.
