I'm a VM customer. I also have taken out three months free trial on BT Sport as part of my mobile phone contract .  I installed the BT Sports App on my KS TV and on my Apple 4K TV box. Via the app you were offered 1080p HDR not UHD.  I tried both apps and I saw quite a bit of noise and motion was not smooth.  Not sure what flavour of HDR as KS set justs sets itself to HDR.  Colours looked good though.  In the end I watched it via the VM V6 box on the BT UHD channel.  OK didn't have the HDR but pin sharp and smooth as butter.  ...

Anybody watch this on a KS set from a Virgin Media V6?  If so was the picture OK?  Didn't see today's final but someone on another forum with the 1239 firmware complained the colours were really over saturated. ... View more

@HarryH wrote:   Yes. I had the same.  All very impressive after toggling. Presume you had to use roku? But then again nothing has really changed from summer World Cup for me despite the new tv software being installed.        Who has tried Our planet Netflix in HDR .  Using the Native app.     what is the correct picture setup to get the best from this or does the app handle all of that. I only get a speed 15.4mbs but it says it’s 4k resolution when I press info.  Hard to know if the HDR is kicking in properly and also what other settings to tweak.  The app speed checked says it can receive 55 mbs.      15.4 is correct for 4K on Netflix (about 5 for HD).  I chcked out Our Planet and as ever looks superb on my KS800.   I also watched the football in UHD (shame about result!) on the Virgin V6 and also checked it out on my Roku+.  Both were fanastic, superb picture with no issues at all.  Never had that the HDMI issue.  All in all still really happy with my KS set.   ...

Even if there is no HDR10+ indicator, it wouldn't hurt to see if you notice any difference in image quality. HDR10+ Isn't possible with any of the KS sets, much for the same reason internal HLG isn't possible.   The set is still in Samsung's terms, obsolete, and doesn't support the right API's to make it work.   That said the 1239 firmware does seem to go a long way to fixing some of the other problems with HDR10 content.
