Any HDMI cable rated for 4K would work.

Look at monoprice.com.

and you will need a Hopper to make that 4K Joey work.

The 4K picture on my LG OLED is darker than the HD on FS1.

I see this as well. I also notice the color palette isn't as vibrant either.

I didn't see it listed, so here are the sites for the 4k Tournament games.

• March 19-20: First Four play-in games from Dayton, Ohio
• March 22 and 24: Rounds 1 and 2 from Tulsa, Oklahoma
• March 28 and 30: Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight from Anaheim, California

The play in games are listed in the Events Listing thread. They will be HDR on channel 540-03. 4K Joeys may not be capable of viewing those games while Hopper 3s will be fine. The other games you have listed are not on the schedule yet. It is my understanding that they are DirecTV exclusive, but we’ll see.

Baby steps...Better than crawling...Wishing the Final 4 would be broadcast in 4K HDR.

As I posted earlier...

DISH March Madness

After watching a few minutes of this first game in 4k, Big East Tourney had much better PQ, IMO

Kinda silly to show these blah matchups for some of the 13.
Also odd that I'm hearing the guys call the game right now thru my front left speaker of 7.2 vs the center channel.

Mine keeps changing from left rear to front center and back. The commercials have the correct sound but the commentary is screwed up.

 

[Jim5506]

My audio had commentators from the left rear and crowd noise from the front center.

They are not HDR. They were originally shown to be on channel 540-03 when it was still an HDR channel. Then the channel became just a 4K channel.

I think what I was trying to say is that the games are shot in HDR but dish is not showing the HDR version. World Cup soccer looked fantastic in HDR

Well, according to that, the games are not being shot in 4K, but rather upconverted, so that may also explain why they may not look quite as good as other events that were native 4K or 4K HDR.

I'm watching some of the NCAA Tournament games through a Hopper 3 on channel 540-03 connected to a 75" Sony x900e and noticed that the picture has always been weird (very cool, grayish, flat, etc) when watching 4k on this channel. I did some tinkering with the settings and noticed that if I changed the "Color Space" setting on the TV from "Auto" to "BT.2020" the color is perfect and showing as it should be as compared to the regular HD version of the channel.

My question is...why would the Auto setting not be picking the correct color space and is anyone else having this issue?

I've had issues in the past where the TV would not switch into HDR mode right away, but that was resolved by switching channels back and forth when they were showing the World Cup in 4k HDR.
