$800 one is 8 bit http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/5df45ca
$1200 one is also 8 bit http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/d70e3ee
$1700 one, drumroll, also 8 bit http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/9a79401

None of those meet UHD premium spec.

You are clearly ignoring Sony magic. The PS4 will magically make all tv's HDR compatable

UHD premium is 4 different things though, 4K res, 10 bit panel, > 90% DCI-P3 color coverage, and 1000 nit brightness for HDR.

You can have HDR on 8 bit panels at lower max brightness, as well as DCI-P3 color. But yeah, I wouldn't know how they could ever persuade a 1080p tv to display HDR, or pump HDR through hdmi 1.4

It's a clusterfuck. The blu-ray alliance introduced the UHD Premium logo to help out consumers as tv manufacturers like to hide the specs that count. However Sony made their own logo that also covers tvs that don't meet all the specs while some tvs that do meet the requirements didn't get certified. Luckily we have the internet nowadays.
