It is not an HDR panel. It has HDR processing so that you can handle the HDR input, but that is not a true HDR panel. That will cost more.

It also has an inferior upscaler and there have been reports of pixelating and artifacting problems with 1080i, so if you were planning on an OTA antenna for locals, you might want to consider something else.

Ok, so I did a little looking into 1080i(interlaced) vs 1080p(progressive) and it does sound like the progressive is the better of the two options as far as what you see per frame. Is that not effected by it being a 4K unit though?

As for the HDR processing instead of being a true HDR panel, what does that mean exactly? It seems like if it will process it then it should output it in some way, otherwise what is the use? Is that content based?

I am not doing anything over the air for locals or anything antennae based, at least I don't think so, since I have cable and do all of my watching either through that or wifi - I actually may pick up an Ethernet cable to wire direct this time though.

This is the kind of stuff that gets me confused in a hurry so any help is appreciated.
