Back to the Amazon Prime Ultra HD thing for a moment if we can.....
I go into Amazon Prime app, into Ultra HD, and pick a show...Lets take Man in the High Castle....
Supposedly I get Ultra HD but I dont see anything about HDR, in fact the tv defaults to Vivid and if I switch to HDR I get a black screen and the show stops.
I see no option for HDR, how are you guys getting HDR?

Thanks

click on the episode info. none of your pictures have you showing episode info. instead of "watch now" scroll to the LEFT and click on the episode info. how many times do I have to say episode info :P lol

Anyone know if the built-in NF app will allow the streaming of Ultra HD?

Some of us are slow learners, Ray. I only learned about this a few days ago. Maybe we should make the technique a sticky!

What is the built in NF app? Not sure I remember seeing it in the Home menu.

assuming you mean Netflix, then the answer is yes. you need to upgrade to the UHD streaming plan though.

Great, thank you.

Well ok, it shows the HDR designation.
The problem is that the tv reverts to "Vivid" in the picture adjustment mode and if I swith the tv to HDR mode I just get a black screen.

Is anyone having problems with the latest FW for the 940?

Guys JS9500 or Sony 930?

All ok here,what issue are you having?

The 9500 is a better TV if that's what your asking?

Compare apples to apples and use the 940c to compare. The 930c is a scaled down budget version of the 940C.

Well the 65" 930C is at the same price range of the 65" JS9500 , I know one is fald and the other edge lit , The 930 have better native contrast with local dimming off ,One is cuve the other is flat ,the dimming on both work well. specially the sony that only have vertical zones.

is not really much apple to orange.

sometimes a halo can be more distracting than an a slight increase in black levels in one area of the image.

Some posters above mentioned they were having problems.


I updated my FW tonite and it went smoothly.


Has the HDR and the other announced updates been released yet?

this is sounding like a specific issue with sony. im not sure if this is a glitch or not. if it is, a firmware update could correct it. I know this thread isnt particularly active, but hopefully other sony owners can chime in with what mode the tv goes into when HDR is detected. i know a few others in the past said it would go into vivid mode, but i thought that was before it was fixed.

Mine keeps putting all sound output through the headphone jack to the subwoofer instead of recognizing that the wireless sub is connected. This happens every time the set is turned off then back on. Works fine once you switch off the sub output then turn it back on via the settings sound menu....

This has happened a few times to me as well. The problem goes away after a factory reset for me. It's a pain to do the reset, but switching from headphones every time you turn it on is too

Check out my post #5636 on the previous page. This makes doing a factory reset a lot easier.

On another note. Is there a way to shut the tv completely off? I've read that the tv will go into 'standby' mode when the power button is hit. However, I just added biased lighting to the back of my tv which plugs in through the USB ports. When I cut the tv off the LED strips stay on. I would like for them to shut off when the TV shut off. Thanks...

930 vs 9500 is easy for me, curved vs flat and curved I am not a fan of. If curved is not an issue, then the 9500 is most likely "better".

If you can get the 9500 for the price of a 930 then it's a no-brainer. Go for the 9500! A lot of people would argue the 9500 is better than the even the 940. The 9500 also received more votes than the 940 at the 2015 Value Electronics Shoot Out.

Having the same issue with the reverting to Vivid from the HDR Video picture setting, however, not the black screen.

The 9500 should be able to perform better than the 930 in dark/semi-dark scene(especially at night with all lights turned off) since it is FALD. But in terms of bright scene performance, the difference between the two should be very minimal, this is especially true with the 930's contrast. I had the 930 before and I highly doubt if any of the edge lit tvs can rival the 930 in bright scene performance given its great blacks, superb rendering of natural colors and deep contrast. With that said, if I were you, I might prefer 9500 over the 930 since it has the FALD, the One Connect Box and the better Tizen OS. However, if between the 9500 and the 940c, then it will be a hands-down 940c for me.

I thought you were a fan of edge lit Samsung mid tier models?

Flex it is fully noted that you don't like your 930 or Sony products in general. The showdown between the sets didn't really show much. Actually the 940 won in the areas of most importance if I'm not mistaken. So if all your going to do is bash something without justification then go on the oled and 9500 threads. More people than not like the 940 over the 9500. But everything is really all preference. If you don't prefer the 940 then ok, we know already. Isn't angled viewing worse on the 9500 verses the 940/930?

When did I say that? are you looking at my recent history when I tried a JS8500 for a week , few days ago?

If you dont have a clue of my post why even come with the question?
