Hi all. Hoping someone can help me or confirm it this is supposed to be the case.
I have an LG smart TV with various picture modes including Sports. On normal HD I can select Sports however when on Ultra HD Sky Sports this appears to be be missing and i can only see Standard, Film maker mode and I believe Cinema.
I've looked online and I believe it's something to do with how Sky broadcasts it's HDR/UHD coverage. I've checked on my Sky Box and 2160p is selected.
Please can someone clarify if this is right?
Many thanks
hi @Ant1987
I don't know about LG Tvs but my Panasonic TV does still list most TV modes when watching UHD/HDR content
Sports Mode & Dynamic/Vivid modes tend to apply a lot of digital processing and specifically increase brightness which can leave too little room to allow the full dyamic range of HDR content
Personally I nearly always stay with THX Cinema Mode (the closest to modern Filmaker mode) - I find Sports mode in particular too overprocessed (similar to Vivid/Dynamic) . That said occasionally I would use a slightly brighter mode to watch the now retired SKI Sunday
