My point was that objectively and scientifically the Sky in HLG is NOT better than TBT Sports when both are played in 4k UHD.
- This is in response to the majority of respondants here saying that Sky was better...
Make no mistake I would 100% advise anyone considering the 2 services to go to Sky over BT but to say its better is simply wrong (because HRD10 used by TNT is a better format than HLG).
And the TNT/Discovery app is next level...for so many reasons that no one else has adopted (goal notifications on other channels, easily going to each and every match incident rather than ff or rewind etc)
- Both UHD serices are premium though...and highly recommend.
Saying one is better than the other is kind of pointless because, as I said earlier, it depends on the TV the viewer is using.
A TV with a high peak brightness can and will show HLG HDR at a higher brightness level than HDR10 (which has the peak brightness fixed at source). HLG checks the capability of the TV before setting its brightness output level so in some respects, if you like your image to be bright and punchy and your TV is capable, the image quality from HLG could be seen to be 'better' than an HDR10 output.
It's all very subjective. Basically watch what looks best to you on your TV, and as you say, if you like sport, get both services.
I personally don't watch sport so I don't really care what format it's shown in. Watching some folk kick a ball around or some cars bombing round a track are equally tedious to me in 480P SDR as they are in 2160P with HDR. I watched a live stream of some football in 4K with Dolby Vision & Atmos at an industry event last year. Nearly fell asleep.
