So, of the nigh on 400 TVs supported in BBC iplayer for the Blue Planet II  HLG episodes none are from Samsung. Oh joy. 

...

Moderator edit: Original thread title was "Blue Planet 2 HLG - No Samsung". With the OP's permission, the title was changed on 12/03/2018 to accurately reflect the dominant theme of the thread as it has progressed. If the reader would like to know more about the HLG format, please check out the BBC's page and FAQ's on it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/projects/high-dynamic-range Thank you, AntS.

Meaning the colour balance isn't quite right. I think by tinkering with the Expert settings this can be mitigated - I'm going to have a good play with that during the 4pm game although Tarbat's suggestions of

 

- Dynamic Contrast OFF

- Gamma -3

- Backlight knocked down from 20 (to a number of your preference)

 

Are a good starting position.

 

Any other tips from anyone else?

Fantastic picture from Sochi for Belgium v Panama on the Roku SS+

 

Going to Gamma -3 makes a big difference. I've settled on

 

Backlight 20

Brightness 45

Contrast 100

Sharpness 20

Colour 50

Tint 50/50

Digital Clean View: Auto

Auto Motion Plus: Auto

Smart LED: High

Dynamic Contast: Off

Colour Tone: Warm 1

Gamme -3

RGB Only: Off

Colour Space: Auto

 

 

All very subjective I know but I hope that helps others.

Thanks.  I differed from the AVF recommendations by preferring Warm1 over their Warm2 and also took the recommendation from someone a few pages back about bumping the Colour up from 50 to 70 to compensate for the colour space issues on this feed, but that was based off yesterday's GER-MEX game where the stadium was largely dressed in white and with bright sunshine so the colours seemed a bit washed-out. I may tweak again for tonight's game.

Switching back to BBC One HD is funny - it's almost unwatchable in comparison!

 

I've only had one stream drop-out in the games I've watched so far, but this is still very much a work in progress from the BBC:

I'm just very glad they chose to offer it for the World Cup. The future is very bright.

I've settled on 63 for the Colour as the reds were just a bit too vivid at 70. But it looks great so thanks again.

Anyone got a PS4 or Pro that have iPlayer  app installed on?

 

Seeing a tweet (just the one) that it's now UHD compatible.
