" ...  While it is a nice LED set with full array local dimming and looked good in Blu-Ray HD and 4K I just could not get the 900E to look as good as my older 55” 1080p set with my HD cable. ... Set the TV to the Cinema Home setting and I could tell immediately that the picture from my HD cable box was excellent. ... Season 1 was in standard HD but Season 2 is in HDR and it looked amazing. ... I also bought a OPPO UDP-203 UHD Player and 4K discs look fantastic also. ... I downloaded some 4K Sony demos and added them to a USB stick and they are stunning.  ...  "
