Good news: a moderator at Sony Community has confirmed that this firmware update activates the
HDR
feature on this set. I have the XBR-65X750D and can confirm that I received the same. I've sinced checked out 4K HDR content on Netflix (Marco Polo) and the HDR icon appeared, and the picture looks drop-dead gorgeous.
Hi Sony Community,
If you are from US or Canada, the HDR update has been released for the following models:
XBR-49X700D
XBR-55X700D
XBR-65X750D
If your TVs were set to automatically download updates, it should have HDR by now.
I also noticed that this updated also added the "DirecTV Ready" app, which is an RVU client. It lets you access DirecTV service and full HD DVR functionality without a receiver... kind of like the software equivalent of a Genie Mini. I'm not a DirecTV subscriber, but I thought that was pretty cool.
