“If this is an 8 bit 4K TV and has HDR software "HDR Pro" but can't display HDR (able to only read HDR), can I buy an HDR bluray player so I can get the "HDR PRO" to display HDR in either streaming HDR content or display HDR 4K DVDs with an HDR player?”

Despite the advent of High Definition, our current TV system is still stuck with the colors largely based on the limitations of CRT technology and current HDTV uses an 8-bit system. The two things that define an HDR TV are the TV's contrast performance and the number of colors that is can display.The UHD Alliance has 2 standards that a TV must meet for HDR compatibilty, Standard 1: More than 1,000 nits peak brightness and less than 0.05 nits black level and for Standard 2: More than 540 nits brightness and less than .0005 nits black level. As for the color, requirements, a TV must be able to process 10-bit or 'deep' color which equates to a signal over a billion individual colors. but in order to be considered HDR compatible, a TV doesn't need to be able to display all the colors in a 10-bit signal, it just has to be able to process the signal and produce an image based on that information. It must produce a certain amount of 'P3' color. As an LED TV, the LG - 65" Class (64.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV - Black, Model # 65UH5500 is capable of producing high peak brightness so it meets the requirements of standard one as well.Content has to be mastered for HDR in order to work with the HDR standard, in other words, both the source and the TV have to be HDR compatible...^IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Actually that's not accurate. This panel can display a 10-bit, per channel, image. Rtings tested it and found a full 10-bit gradient with no banding and very little color deviation. So, yes this is a true HDR panel and that's cool but it isn't the same as Dolby Vision HDR. Now the real problem that you're looking at isn't whether the TV supports HDR, that's actually something it can handle very well and should improve both movies and still pictures... However, the response time of the TV goes from 17.9ms with HDR to close to 65ms with HDR so, you're never going to want to play any competitive / head to head gaming on this TV as you will get eaten alive thanks to this issue alone. So, yes you can play those discs using the TVs HDR mode and the movies will feed HDR into the TV from something like an Xbox One S.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Why do people think this is an 8bit display? Rtings verified it is a 10bit display and does support HDR10. Yes you can view HDR content on this TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you purchase a 4K player or upscale blu ray/DVD player along with a 4K hdmi cable you will experience HDR on you lg HDR tv!!..
