Hi Jim,

That is a great question. I am waiting on specific training from Samsung on HDR and PQ gamma. I have a 65JS9500 through my work with Samsung. I can tell you that when I feed it HDR content it has a completely separately configured Movie mode from the calibrated SDR mode. It also looks really good even though I can't calibrate it yet. The other problem now is none of the signal generator manufacturers have not provided a product with HDR test signals and that's probably going to take a while.

It seems like one should wait for awhile before paying for calibration. If Kevin (who is a Samsung consultant for PQ in the States) is not really up on HDR calibration, the guys at Best Buy wouldn't have a clue.

So, Samsung is using proprietary equipment for factory setup of HDR and you will have to settle for that until the calibrators are up to speed on HDR calibration.

Kind of difficult to have an HDR shootout if no one can calibrate the sets for HDR content; unless you settle for out of the box performance.
