Yes, it's possible. It's what I tried as noted a few posts ago in post # 1287. [email protected]/24 HDR works fine (and there's no banding); however, I get no signal with 4K@60 HDR. This is w/Optoma UHD51A, and based on @Caramba69's reply, looks like Sony VPL-VW760 behaves the same way.

May be my message got lost in that post. What I was trying to say is, if you set your Shield to 4K 23.976 12-bit YUV 422, when it switches to 4K 50/59.94/60Hz, the output is 12-bit YCbCr 4:2:2 instead of 10-bit YCbCr 4:2:0. I think this is something new in this 7.0.1 update. Don't remember it doing this on 6.3. The specifications that you posted for your projector says only 8-bit 422 at 4K 60. That is kind of weird. I did look at the EDID for Optoma UHD60 and even that supports 600MHz pixel clock. So I am not sure why you would get no signal.
@hdmkv : If you are using Kodi Leia, can you check whether you can see 4K 23.976Hz in the Whitelist when you set the Shield to 4K 59.94/60Hz 10-bit YUV 4:2:0? Also, check at what resolution a 4K 23.976fps movie actually plays. For me, it is playing as 1080p23.976.
I am using Leia. By "Whitelist", do you mean resolution & refresh rates shown in Settings? If so, for resolution, the only two choices are 1080p & 2160p. For refresh rates, 23.98 to 60.00. When I play a 4K HDR 23.976fps movie, my PJ shows it's playing at 2160p 24Hz 4:2:2 8-bit BT.2020. Picture is definitely 4K, not 1080p.

Thanks. I will have to check what's going with my setup.

 Hi, you are use 3D Bluray/rip movies on Nvidia Shield TV?

Unless something has changed the Shield TV doesn't support 3D MVC decode or 3D Frame Packed output with the current Android TV builds, so AFAIK the only 3D output it supports will be HSBS and HTAB (which are effectively identical to 2D video formats)
Hi

Im about to pull the trigger on a nvidia shield. But i have a hard time figuring out this color/gamut thing.
I have a 55" OLED 4k tv from LG and i want to be able to watch both 1080p and 4k stuff from the shield, without having to go into menus and change stuff.
Have the new Oreo update fixed this, so that the Rec.709 to rec.2020 conversion is working or is it still washed out like people have complained about until now ??

best regards
With 3D MVC, to @noggin’s point, Shield plays them in 2D. I just use the same Kodi library set-up (with posters) across boxes, from Shield to Zidoo to Fire TV.

Works fine here.  You're not using Kodi 32bit are you?  
should we be using the 64-bit version on Shield??

Yes.
Seems like 7.0 is out of preview. I have it on my homepage without even clicking check for updates.

Not planning to install anytime soon though XD
Yep installed latest firmware, looks good so far. Kodi working well
My AVR information display that my Sheild is outputting 24 BIT in HDR but my Egreat Media output 36 BIT HDR, can some explain what is the issue here.

 This has been answered in a technical style before. So, this time I will do it in the layman style   Wink . Your AVR is a very low IQ thing (Sorry 45th POTUS ), it is not intelligent enough to figure out the bit depth of YCbCr 4:2:2 pixel encoding. Shield doesn't support YCbCr 4:4:4 for >8-bit (24-bit) color depth. It only supports 12(10)-bit YCbCr 4:2:2. When you see 36-bit on your AVR with the Egreat, it means that the output is 12-bit YCbCr 4:4:4 (or 12-bit RGB if supported).
