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.

Was that Sony that did that?

I was reading about HDR and the whole Premium logo on TV and I read about one company that was doing their own logo and was doing it in some way that they were also then labeling other tv's of their own that weren't UHD certified with their logo. I was thinking "wow that is shitty, what a way to lie to customers and get them to think they bought something that isn't true"

Funny its Sony.

Edit: here is the article I had read. Ha yup it's sony, and Philips. http://www.whathifi.com/advice/ultra-hd-premium-what-are-specs-which-tvs-support-it
