There virtually is no letterboxing, because you can’t see them, thanks to how OLED technology works. A black pixel is an off pixel, so the black bars become invisible on an OLED model while that’s not the case with LCD models. /CaptainObvious

Just thought that maybe reviewers should mention that, but for some reason they hadn’t, and I’ve seen a lot of reviews.

Is there anything you can think of that reviewers hadn’t concerning the OLED models?

    That’s because they all referred to the ‘smaller bezel’ which is what that’s called. That’s… That’s just not ‘letter boxing’, you’re just calling it the wrong thing.

      Do you know if using Kodi in Gaming mode works for HDR content?

      I use Kodi in gaming mode all the time for playing media. I don’t have an OLED though; so I can’t test.

      Just have a browser for YouTube, and the file explorer available in game mode, then open your files in MPV

        Does that work? I figured it was more of a “Linux software not updated to allow HDR” kind of problem.
