I'm sure it'll have hdmi 2.0 and support rec 2020 color. Just make sure you can see a picture difference from your seating distance with the tv size you're going to buy. I measured the tv to seating distance, then went to best buy and paced out the distance to be sure I was going to see a difference from my seating, then did the sensible thing and ordered it for a grand less via Amazon and paid no tax.

all uhd tvs fall under umrp pricing standards and the only way you got it on amazon for a $1000 less is if was refurbished or a knock off by an unauthorized seller. i sell sammys and are the only ones that will adhere to the rec.2020 space. no sony no lg panasonic later in the year.

It was a lot cheaper in price than Best Buy- maybe $1k or more, then I don't pay tax online so it saved me another couple hundred dollars. Then I got another $150 back in site credit cuz they price matched a competitor. It was shipped snd sold by Amazon. Brand spanking new. Came with everything sealed, a one year warranty, and everything else a new tv has. No question about it. Square trade wouldn't allow me to get a warranty for it if it was used (I don't think). No retail store can ever compete with Amazon prices. Stores will price match other stores but not online. Then you have the no tax that pay for the warranty. I'll never buy retail again. It costs too much. I just looked snd I paid $2,400 for my tv in October 2014

you can also pick up the 10% off "movers coupon" from the post office, which is applicable to most TVs. The only one I was looking at that they said no to was the Sony 4Ks. It worked fine on my LG.

Best Buy also will always match Amazon.com IF the advertised price says it is sold and shipped by Amazon. I use the Amazon app on my phone to PM at Best Buy every single time.

Is there any company that makes 4K projectors with passive 3D technology? I tried to look for LG- since they are the only brand besides Visio that uses passive 3D but found no results.

If you are wanting to watch UltraHD Blu-ray the minimum requirements are HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2.

You may also want HEVC (h.265) decoding for watching 4K videos from USB and Netflix 4K.

HDCP 2.2!

Otherwise Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc's might not work.

Is HDR that bad? Surely it will just better display what the original film captured?

I hope it supports hdcp 2.2. I just bought it this past fall. Can't they do a Firmware update for this, it would seem that it's software patch. My model is LG 65 UB9500. Just got it in the fall.

You will be missing out on High Dynamic Range(HDR), REC.2020 colour space, and 10 bit colour though.
