not as hard with imprex but it is still doing it , and the workaround settings in the first post for that are wrong for my calibrated screens. For me , brigthness 48 and contrast 55 is near to my untouched PQ like it should be, but not perfect.

I am guessing it is the Standard/Theatre/etc that is still adding some effects after turning Imprex to OFF, the way I have described above - as you know when in Auto or HDR10 mode you have no access to turn On/Off. This should be implemented in firmware.

So far, this is the best option /workaround I have found, thus resulting closer to what the real picture should look like, considering you have properly calibrated your TV settings and the screen.

When it comes to processing and post-processing, being a consumer (not a professional producer), TV should be the last resort for such settings, unless you have a mediocre screen, so to speak, in which case having software tweaks is a welocme and necessary, but with an option to completely turn Off.

Now I hope they shall further enhance the firmware, but the HDR10 4:2:0 10-bit is a big issue and major bug so far. I so miss the Kodi's internal player

I came exactly to the same settings before even reading this post, I too achieved the best possible picture quality with 48 of brightness and 55 of contrast (I have a PANASONIC DX780E 4k HDR TV that I have calibrated )

If these problems are ironed out, the Q10 Pro could be the best Android multimedia player right now, even beating the famous Nvidia Shield. But meanwhile, it's not. We'll see if Simon takes this issue seriously or not. I have no doubt he wants to help, but I also think he believes this issue is not really a bug, because more users should complain.

My question remains: Could you make a video demonstrating the Imprex issue and send it to Simon (or the HiMedia team)?

Thanks again

What kind of contrast ratio do you guys get with this setting?

Any settings like standard /theather/cinema or processing activated in the source will give you different calibrated settings, and sometimes its impossible to achieve a perfect calibration.

I remember sometime ago, i was calibrating a samsung plasma for a friend, and just the fact that the receiver was in cinema Mode, the Gama was way off and the final result wasn't perfect. it was 3 hours lost and had to restart all over again.

Source direct, Original Resolution this is something the chip manufacturer don't implement in hardware/firmware/software, and they never will, this boxes are low cost devices to last 1 year maximum until the next chip arrives.

Anyone with high-end hardware/displays, stay way from this half-solutions, and get a proper source.

All this years of Xbmc/kodi i havent seen any settings to bypass the hardware video processing (no idea why) maybe because the public target of Kodi/xbmc are low cost solutions.

A video would help with getting HiMedia to look seriously at the 'turning off Imprex' problem. I have mentioned it to them several times (I send regular bug / feature requests) but they are having trouble reproducing it. They replied today pointing out that Imprex can be turned off manually as is discussed in this thread, but I do understand that this isn't entirely the problem, people want to be able to turn off all processing.
