HDMI connection is looking better

What does this even mean? Is there a message that says your HDMI connection looks great? The support page says nothing about what possible test results you can get.


So does anyone know if this means there is a problem with the cable or does this message mean it’s ok?


Thanks.

I believe “looking better” refers to HDR compatibility test passed. It should look better than SDR. It’s OK.

Yes, that would have been better. (Pun intended.)
