    Hi Richer Sounds,

    I read online that the Sony KD55X8509C was HDR ready via a firmware update.

    Do you know if this is correct for Irish customers, and if yes is this for streaming and external devices?

    Thanks,

    Stephen

    I did a bit of checking on this myself and it does indeed say on Sonys website that HDR will be available for netflix HDR support via firmware update in 2015.
