Oh yeah. It's garbage.
I dont think you are appletv, but how does it handle these streaming devices and services? Way better?
We got a TLC Roku 4K HD about a month ago, and it really just depends on the ISP throttling. Some nights HD content looks fantastic; others you can see a lot of chunky pixelation in the darker colors of the screen.
In my experiences it really depends on the specific app and how you are playing it. Some networks/providers care more about picture quality while others may favor certain devices (Android vs. Apple vs. Roku vs PS4, etc.). WatchESPN is consistently pretty shitty though.
What's your experience with gaming? BF1 is the only game I have that tells me I'm playing in HDR, but I'll be damned if I can see much of a difference when I turn the HDR off. I *can* notice it more if I have Chromatic Aberration and Film Grain effect turned on in the game's video options, but I leave those effects off, and am otherwise not seeing much of a difference.

Some games are better than others. I can't really tell the difference much on BF1. NBA 2k18 and Horizon are stunning with HDR turned on though.

Good to know! My plan is to beat MGSV, then I was thinking I would try HZD before Far Cry 5 came out.

I looked the other day, but none listed the specific speed. I'll look again when I get home.
Some list 4k compatibility, none list HDR. For now, I'll hook my lone 4K HDR source directly into the TV.
Yeah, I did some digging too, and even some of the 4K ones I found only had a speed of about 10 instead of 18, which I wouldn't trust.
