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?

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

      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.

    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.
