Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems HD621 Does it support 4K?

The display needs to support HDMI 2.0a and HDCP2.2 to fully support Dolby Vision and the competing HDR High Dynamic Range format.

I concur that the ability to show HDR content and 10 bit colour depth, and hopefully true DCI colour space, will make a far bigger difference to picture quality than the increased resolution of 4K.

Tests have shown that displaying HDR content with 10 bit colour and DCI, at resolutions of only 720P, give a superior picture to standard 1080P Bluray.

All the streamed 4K video is heavily compressed, though much better with the new H265 compression. So compressed that i prefer 1080P Bluray at much higher H264 bit rates of around 29mbps.

The new Ultra HD Bluray discs also of course support Dolby Atmos/DTS:X, so next question is what will the new version/replacement of the HD621 do with this audio. Will it decode it to 7.1.4 channel PCM and feed to the new 861 (v10?) which may support the extra height channels....??
