4K HDR10 - State of Play - important media player limitations - LAST UPDATE sept 2020
#33
I recently purchased a 4k HDR capable TV (LG OLED B7) on what seems to be the false assumption that playback of 4k 10 bit HDR files was 'easy'. Thinking of returning it.

I think I read the OP correctly, but just to be sure:

If I add a GTX 1030 2GB to my PC (i5-8600, 8GB RAM) it's *not* good enough for 4k HDR playback on Windows or Linux? I have no interest in Netflix as TV app is adequate.

If a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB is required, what's the best player config for windows:

  1. Kodi 17.x
  2. Kodi 18 alpha
  3. Kodi 17.x with dsplayer
  4. Kodi 17.x with dsplayer and madvr (only for HDR pass through)
  5. Other (Plex? - TV app plays HDR but no high def audio)

I normally use Linux, but it seems equally messy at the moment.

I need to bitstream audio and most or my material is <30Hz.

Is the cheapest option some S912 TV box with LE instead?

I'm seriously thinking of returning the TV unless the extra cost is < £100.

Thanks in advance.
