But while the chroma sharpness generates obvious vertical and horizontal ringing on colour bars (behaving similarly to the chroma enhancement feature on my older Panny BD player) it's not something that's obvious during live action content so I changed my chroma from -3 back to 0, whereas on an animated feature the ringing may become more obvious so I'll tone it back down as and when I need to.
As for the 4K50/60 setting, I would advise changing that to 4:4:4 otherwise you won't get any HDR WCG playback from 4K60 content, as by setting it to 4:2:0 it automatically downrates 4K60 material to 8-bit SDR 709. Not so much a problem now, sure, seeing as there's only one 60fps movie disc (Billy Lynn's), but I'd set it to 4:4:4 all the same if your TV can handle full-fat 4K60 content. Mine cannot, so it automatically set the 4:2:0 4K60 output during initial set-up.
I've left Deep Colour on, it does nothing to the UHD 24p output which is 12-bit 4:2:2 anyway, but upscaled Blu-rays look a bit more polished in 12-bit 4:2:2 than 8-bit 4:4:4, as the latter is what the player will default to for BD playback if I turn DC off.

Thanks for the feedback!
I'll change the chroma sharpness back to 0 and just leave the edge correction at +1 then.
If I see any problems during an animated movie I can always turn it down again.
I have ab-so-lute-ly no need for 4K/60p content unless it's a documentary or music concert. I'm very much against using HFR for motion pictures, 24p is the only way to go for me.
So this setting wouldn't matter to me at the moment even though my TV accepts the signal. Btw I've ordered The Last Reef and the upcoming Planet Earth II, I wonder if these will be 24 or 60p?
I'll leave Deep Color at automatic then if it doesn't affect UHD discs and has no negative impact on regular Blu-ray. I thought with Blu-ray being 8bit it would be better to turn Deep Color off.
Thanks again Geoff, for your informative posts.
