SkyQ - The HD picture looks 'washed out' is this normal?

[HannsG]

I purchased a new Q70R Samsung on Black Friday.

Watching stuff from my server is amazing. 1080P, UHD etc, HD

The difference is notable moreso since I got this TV.

The SkyQ box I have is the one with the silver trim underneath it and I gather this pumps out 4k also?

Which channels look washed out? You need the 2TB Q box to get UHD.

Only the HD channels output HD,

All others are just SD

UHD '4K' is only broadcast on select channels and events, on a sports game it usually prompts you to switch to UHD, by the red button or similar.

You can check what the box is outputting in the settings menu. Have a look.

You could try a different HDMI in on the TV.

Have you tried different picture modes on the TV ?
