The cable would still need to do 4K though...

    I think 1.4 does 4K @30Hz. Anyway, I could have sworn most TVs have the ability to turn off HDR, or at least have picture modes incompatible with HDR. Loophole, baby!

    Fortunately all the devices I have feeding them have the option to disable it.

    HDR On:

    My LG TV was similar and I had to go digging in the settings to mess with brightness, backlight and black detail. Anything that was dark on HDR was just black and I had to go in and up the black detail and brightness/contrast settings
