suitable for the SDR signal in the following cases:

 

 

- When the SDR signal is input with “Auto” set for “HDR”

 

 

- When “HDR” is set to “Off”

 

 

High/Middle/Low: You can adjust the Dynamic HDR Enhancer/Contrast Enhancer.

 

 

Off: The Dynamic HDR Enhancer function is not applied.

 

 

Motionflow [MOTIONFLOW]

Impulse: Reproduces original picture quality. Provides cinema-like picture, which may flicker.

 

 

Combination: Reduces motion blur while maintaining brightness for high-speed picture content.

 

 

Smooth High: Provides smoother picture movement; especially effective for film-based content.

 

 

Smooth Low: Provides smoother picture movement for standard use.

 

 

True Cinema: Images, such as a movie created in 24 frames per second, are reproduced at the original

 

 

framerate.

Tips

 

 

• Select “Off” if the selected “Smooth High,” “Smooth Low,” “Impulse,” “Combination,” or “True

 

 

Cinema” results in a distorted picture.

 

 

• Depending on the picture content, you may not see the effect visually even if you have changed the

 

 

settings.

 

 

• Only “Off” or “Impulse” is available when a signal with a resolution of 4096 × 2160 is input.

 

 

• Selecting “Impulse” darkens the picture. Also, it may cause flicker.
