Hi @CBBT   Sky Q uses HLG, not HDR10.

HLG is 10bit too 😉

 

Might be some sort of processing the Sony is doing on the incoming image. Worth checking through its menus to turn off any shenanigans.

 

Have to say on my Panny OLED it's not perfect on that UHD section, you can see the individual lines but there's a little haziness to it. Possibly even compression artefacts.

Hi @CBBT 

I have a Panasonic OLED too & simarlarly I can just about make out individual lines but I have to get reasonably close to the TV to see them rather than it appear as almost solid grey

 

Sorry I can't help with anything specific to check @CBBT but dont rely on being able to distinguish the fine detail from a distance 

 

BTW If you are getting the test card then your TV is properly set up for HLG - I think the way you have worded your opening may have confused @MightyQuinn (mentioning HDR & 10 bit next to each other)
