Do I lose out on HDR by forcing 4K SDR?No — not if you keep Match Content enabled, anyway. The 4K SDR format setting prevents unnecessary switching on menus and SDR content, but genuine HDR streams still display in full HDR when available. Can my TV even handle 4:4:4 Chroma?It’s worth testing. Connect a quality HDMI cable and switch to 4:4:4. Look for clear text and sharp edges when displaying content with fine details or text.

You can still manually delete or offload apps, though, if you want to better manage your available storage space.Get the morning’s top stories in your inbox each day with our Tech Today newsletter.
