Hi @piter1984,

sorry but:

http://presscentre.sony.co.uk/pressreleases/sony-expands-high-dynamic-range-compatible-range-on-2015...

"In addition to the previously announced X94C and X93C series, Sony is also adding HDR compatibility to the X91C, X90C, X85C and S85C series via a network update"

XD70 and X80C aren't the same TV...

Some people says thatt he X810C does support HDR but only through streaming services such as Amazon Instant for example. It will not support HDR content over its HDMI inputs

And one guy from sony comunnity US said that he spoke to a Sony representative and, after he looked at the 810c's updated specs, he confirmed that the 810c does support HDR10 via HDMI (when switched to the Enhanced setting)

US X810C is EU X80C

Maybe in Europe is an issue of the firmware (MENU)...
