Value Electronics 2015 Flat Panel Shootout at CE Week

[raygendreau]

while the shootout did not evaluate HDR performance, Samsung and Amazon HDR did not get a good review from Cnet:

" LG also promised an upgrade soon: "Amazon HDR streaming will be available on this year's LG OLED 4K ULTRA HD TVs in the coming weeks."

Update Monday July 13: I tested Amazon's HDR content as part of the review of the Samsung JS8500. It didn't look better, and often looked worse, than the same video in non-HDR on other TVs. It suffered from relatively washed out black levels without the punchy highlights I've seen on other HDR demos.

The issues have a lot to do, as far as I can tell, with the TV's own display technology and implementation of HDR. Higher-end TVs than the JS8500, including Samsung's models, might do the content more justice, but I haven't tested those yet. My early findings aren't an indictment of HDR in general or Amazon's HDR in particular--it's still very early days for HDR."
