There is a series of stunning nature scenes and arresting urban skylines, mastered from 8K sources, that can be viewed in Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and SDR. The SDR BT.709 menu has an array of adjustments similar to that of Video Setup but for the standard dynamic range content of 1080i/1080p Blu-ray discs.

Windows provides a test grayscale, peak vs size adjustments, a color checker, saturation sweeps, and a color gamut. Video Processing offers quantization, scaling UHD or HD, luminance loading, and HSV sweeps at either BT.2020 or P3D65/BT.2020 among its many options. Advanced Video enables chroma alignment, color space evaluation, high/low dynamic range high/low, image cropping, black/white dots, HDR color bars, and full field white at 100 cd/m 2 or 201 cd/m 2. Advanced Video, Video Processing, and Windows are tools intended for professionals to do the final tweaking of the 4K display. A/V Sync does exactly what you would expect-it synchronizes the audio and the video content. Video Setup allows for the adjustments to Contrast, Brightness, Color and Tint, Sharpness, Color Temperature, Framing, Bias Light, and Color Space Evaluation. While the back of the disc case specified a bit depth of 10 bits, my player seemed to see the content bit depth as having 12 bits. There is also a choice of Audio Codecs, Dolby TrueHD (my prefernce) or DTS-HD MA, both in 5.1 surround sound. HDR Gamut offers either P3D65.BT.2020 (default) or BT.2020 (I stayed with the latter). Since my room is kept fairly dark, I stayed with the default setting.



The Configuration menu allows for adjustment of brightness from 600 cd/m 2 (candelas per square meter) to 10,000 cd/m 2with the default being 1000 cd/m 2. There are seven well-organized menus that are accessed by the disc player’s remote-control buttons-up/down, forward/back, and enter: The disc has test patterns and calibration options for displays capable of handling HDR10, Dolby Vision as well as the newer HDR10+.
