Hi, as an owner of an OLED HDR tv, I heartily disagree. Have you seen Planet Earth 2? 3D was a gimmick. HDR is here to stay.

Planet Earth 2 was shot in UHD [1] - there was no LUT-based 8bpp->10bpp upsampling needed because it was already captured in BT.2020!!

What the hell is wrong with everybody here?

I'm not sure what your point is. BT.2020 is 10- or 12- bit, so an tv that can take advantage of HDR (i.e. 10 bit) will most accurately match what was filmed.

e: I feel like you might be confusing 'HDR' with 'HDR upsampling'.
