Xbox One S Supports 4K Gaming Upscaling, MS Confirms

I hope the scaler is good as that's the only way to get HDR output. HDR is restricted to 4K signals with HDMI 2.0  So even if the tv has a better upscaler, you'll miss out on HDR effects that that mid to high range 4K tv supports. It's only 3 games for now that are confirmed to get HDR output so you can always switch back for other games.

Announcing HDR support implied 4K upscaling. More interesting is what kind of HDR output it will support, HDR 10 or Dolby vision or is there some version for 10 bit RGB as well. Will it do the 1000 nit highlights, use the full DCI-P3 color spectrum or simply 10 bit RGB. DF analysis will be interesting for a change. Advise on what the best 4K tv for HDR gaming is will be appreciated.

Indeed. There is going to be fragmentation until HDR or Dolby Vision wins the market, Microsoft has thrown it's support behind HDR, so it should be interesting if it ends up being the next HD DVD from a support perspecive or if it becomes the standard.
But you also don't need HDR to upscale your games.

As for TV's, I would personally be trending towards an LG OLEDD55C6V HDR Or perhaps the Panasonic TX-65DX902B. OLED impressed me in person. I only have an old mid range LG 60LF6300 which I would like to upgrade to 4k+larger size+HDR+OLED.

As a TV salesman who witnesses both of these types of TVs in action all day:

 

1. I would never recommend an LG TV for gaming, or at very least not one of their smart TVs. It'll ruin anything that moves by covering it with artifacts (this is something that extends to OLEDs and I would be glad to point it out). The insane input lag is great, but your eyes aren't going to be able to catch anything under 13ms, anyway. Burn in risk and bad noise algorithms are too big of a price to pay for this (not to mention sacrificing nearly all of your grayscale).

2. Panasonic's TVs this year are just absolute trash. They just don't really hold a candle to Bravias or Samsungs. I was super excited to set them up, and even more disppointed when it looked like hot garbage, even after adjusting the setting to the best of my ability for 30 minutes.
