[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 1141433, member: 517"] I think the article you referenced must be pretty old, "WCG" is a part of the Ultra HD standard, most all modern Ultra HD TVs support the Rec 2020 colour gamut to some degree.. However, when it comes to projectors, some need an additional filter to be put in place in order to boost the colour gamut (at the cost of a reduction in brightness) - the whirring sound you mentioned. "WCG" itself is a bit of a catch all, no modern display fully supports the Ultra HD colour gamut, anything over Rec. 709 qualifies as "WCG". Though ideally you want your display to reasonably cover DCI P3 (middle of the road between Rec 709 and Rec 2020). Side note, not all 4K Blu-rays have HDR/"WCG". Your projector is 4K right, why select 1080p SDR instead of 4K SDR? Also, looking at your projector's specs, it doesn't look like it supports 24fps playback - are you sure match content framerate works? It might just be converting the 24Hz input back to 60Hz. Also, how do you connect your Apple TV to the second input, do you physically unplug it from HDMI 1 then plug it into HDMI 2? The Apple TV will detect that it's using a different input, maybe you just need to reconfigure the Apple TV for that input? [/QUOTE]
