Everyone is talking about the resolution of 4k blurays, but whats more important is the HDR. You need a tv that has HDR support. A cheap 4k HDR tv will not look better than 1080P SDR

This. If you bought a cheap ass tv or a quality tv and screen size are major factors in the decision

At the least, a 10-bit OLED panel matters. Those with LED are probably viewing 8-bit color, and there is a major boost going from 8-bit to 10-bit, the same as there was a major boost going from 240i to 760p or greater in regard to resolution.

Tbh if I wouldn't have had an OLED I probably wouldn't worry about HDR

I would. Some of the cheap oled panels are 250nits. I want to be able to sear my eyes out.

Some cheap lcd panels are als 250 nits with HDR

Not really HDR if it's only 250 nits. My point was about prioritizing a panel that is actually capable of real HDR.

I just wish the current gen game consoles had support for Dolby Vision. I can't justify buying a standalone player when I already own two.

Series X/S do support Dolby Vision

Series S doesn't have an optical drive, and Series X doesn't support it with Blu Ray discs.

Wasn’t aware it didn’t work with blu ray discs, that’s kind of surprising. Also was mostly just trying to point out that both do support Dolby vision.

Profile 5 Dolby Vision, not Profile 7

What’re the benefits for supporting that?

Profile 5 is for streaming services. Profile 7 is for 4k blurays. Profile 7 looks way better and is able to fall back to HDR10
