It isn't a resolution difference. HDR when added to 4K gives a much more range and accuracy to colors and contrast the two most important aspects of how a picture looks on a TV. There are scant few actual sources that as yet use HDR, worse there are two or three different brands (kinds) and all are not compatible with every TV. Netflix has had some HDR encoded shows but till very recently none were compatible with Samsung TV's. Amazon has a few of it's shows with HDR.
Thanks, and I understand the resolution. I was asking about bandwidth for streaming or distribution. Both have the same number of pixels but I didn't know how much more data the HDR requires as that is in some sense up to three times the info.
From my experience the best HDR is none at all.
Who wants a dim picture with gamma settings all out of wack
I've turned it off on my Samsung for ALL the reasons you mention. Got sick of messing with it. As of now, to me, it is just a more expensive gimmick. I remember watching the in store demo, they showed a split screen of a cluster of tomatoes, left without, right with. The left looked real (I've grown tomatoes for years), the right, well I've NEVER seen a tomato that red...and certainly never will. But, I bought into the hype anyway. Bad on me!
I might do the same. I did notice that I didn't have all high speed cables hooked up to all my a/v receiver and tv. The hdmi splitter was making the picture look worse because it wasn't set up for 4k . So I redid all by hdmi cables with the high speed ones and removed the hdmi splitter entirely. Now will have to use a joey in the computer room instead. My wife will like that since she likes to watch different stuff in the living room anyway. But might need to buy another joey 2 from my online retailer, unless my boy will let me switch out his for my room . He rarely watches on the tv anymore ,just the smart phone.
If by Full HD you mean 1080P then I think you'll find a better chance of 4K being adapted.
