Hallway Lights real HDR scene highlight: 357 cd/m² with Dynamic Tone Mapping Brightness Priority. HDR white point calibrated, Movie picture mode, Brightness 100, Contrast 100, Gamma 2.2, Micro Contrast Off, Color Temperature Warm -5. Dynamic Tone Mapping must be toggled off/on to apply due to a reported firmware bug. This is the named scene and tone-mapping setting, not a default-mode result, average, window test or sustained full-screen brightness. Other Hallway settings: Detail Priority 333 and Balance 348 cd/m². Bench 2.3 at access, Published HDR method uses Murideo 7G real scenes and a Konica Minolta LS-100 luminance meter, choosing the higher of two Hallway overhead-light peaks. Exact unit firmware and ambient room luminance unstated. Public prose, no locked test-table cells.18Measurementrtings.com/tv/tests/picture-quality/hdr-peak-brightnessRead 7 October 2026Published HDR real-scene procedure uses Murideo 7G scene generator and Konica Minolta LS-100 luminance meter.

Movie/PC/Vivid/Sports/Game are flicker-free at brightness 29-100, Low Power at 34-100, and Smart HDR always. Thus PWM is conditional, not present at every brightness. Source method TV bench 2.3 at access. Only public prose used, no locked test-table cells. Published method uses a ThorLabs photodetector and Rigol DS1102E oscilloscope, white window, optional flicker settings off, best pre-calibration SDR mode with other modes checked, backlight 0/50/100 percent. Exact unit firmware and ambient brightness unstated. The method explicitly says PWM procedure is unchanged across test benches.17Measurementrtings.com/tv/tests/motion/pwm-flickerRead 7 October 2026Published unchanged PWM procedure: ThorLabs photodetector connected to Rigol DS1102E oscilloscope, white window, optional flicker off, best pre-calibration SDR settings with other picture modes checked, backlight 0/50/100 percent.
