Hi all just got a KD55XE9305 tv ,one thing i cant seem to get my head around is the HDR, if im watching something using HDR why dont i a see a popup telling me its active like my buddys LG or am i missing something.

ive tried pressing the info button but it shows nothing..for instance i bought a movie from the playstore but i cannot get any info when its playing. or streaming a film from my pc ?

Hi Ninja,

Welcome to the community.

There's an online guide for your TV here with manuals that should help you find out more about how the HDR display features.

Cheers,
EdwinaU

yes, it works.

when i am watching netflix hdr, i press action menu->picture-> on the screen it says App HDR.

although i cant get the same when I am watching kodi or vlc as it stops movie being played.

I downloaded a test hdr sample onto a usb an I also expected a pop up to say that it had detected hdr content and therefopre switched to optimum settings for hdr media. So are you saying that you oly seea notofication of hdr content if yo go into the action menue/picture section ?
