Euro 2024 iPlayer HDR..

[Red+Silence]

Afternoon all.

The 2nd game I've watched of the tournament this far via the BBC.

Both games have prompted to view in HDR live on iPlayer..

The trouble is it's notably darker than on BBC 1 HD.

Local dimming on, custom calibrated picture settings applied from another post on here and toggled the presents. Auto backlight off.

Disappointing really.

Unfortunately Glass, like many mid-range LCD LED sets of its vintage, isn't capable of the peak brightness required to do justice to HDR content.

Hi @Red+Silence 

Thank you for your feedback.

Can I ask you to try the vivid option in picture settings with the next match and let us know how things go?

Good point.

I've no problem with the implementation of Vivid.

But the sound is notably flatter and quieter with less depth than having it in Auto,Sport or Custom.

I've called for independent volume control for a while 🙂
