[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 723818, member: 517"] It's not an "Ultra HD" TV no, which is the standards name, not UHD but Ultra HD (in full). Essentially what you have bought is an HDTV with a 4K pixel count. Ultra HD is about far more than resolution, "HDR" is just the marketing term they're using to package these changes for consumer awareness purposes. It is the new standard for TV at home. Make no mistake though, they will be getting better and better year on year, "Ultra HD Premium" certification just means the panel meets the standard's minimum requirements. Current technology doesn't allow for the full standard to be met, but you will have the meat and potatoes of what Ultra HD offers - it just means a few years down the line when you do upgrade you'll get that much more out of the format, but it will be the same format. This is not the same as all the other marketing terms manufacturers come out with every year, this is a big shift, the last format change was from SD to HD and all that really changed there was the resolution, this overhauls the whole video system (SD and HD were based on the performance characteristics of CRTs, Ultra HD takes its cues from our own visual system).
