Sky Glass UHD

I'm considering buying a Glass TV and wondered if the screen is ok with UHD programmes or does it go dim like my current TV?

TV's shouldn't go dim when watching UHD. It's possible that you're watching something in UHD which has HDR (High Dynamic Range) and haven't altered the picture settings to suit the change in dynamic range.

Some cheaper or low-spec TVs which can't go particularly bright can sometimes struggle with showing UHD HDR programmes - this is known as having a low peak brightness.

What is the make and model of your current TV? It may be that you just need to tweak a picture setting.

Sorry for the delay in responding - I'm thinking of getting a 55in Glass tv either the new cheaper version or the dearer - still mulling that one over!

I wanted to check that uhd etc didn't go dim etc
