Jvc 4k - Blu-ray Forum

Hi gang. New to the 4K crew. Have a 4K TV for 2 years now, it's a JVC 55" with HDR.

I'm looking for a 4K player but I'm wondering... Basically I don't think my tv handles black & dark colours that well. I'm not sure how to describe it, it's kind of like an inky colour when watching a really dark scene? Is this the TV or is it my Xbox 4K disc drive?

Sorry about the lack of technical info, I don't understand this stuff really. Thanks for any information!

JVC is usually a cheap TV brand. So, more than likely its the TV.

If your tv is edge-lit, it’s not able to go black when and where it needs to.
Lower priced HDR sets are also just 8-bit (not 10) and unable to produce the extended color range and brightness range that high dynamic range encoded content requires.

I know hearing this doesn’t feel good, sorry to give bad news.
