We purchased the the below TV for a conference room primarily for Microsoft Teams meetings and presentations. But it it died after one day, so are now needing to decide between replacement or refund. Hadn't considered HDR when we ordered this, and looking at the specs now I'm not sure if it even supports it. Does anyone know? Since this one has to go back anyway we may consider a different model.

Veon VN75ID7020

Thanks

Personally I would steer clear of Veon TVs. I had one years ago we brought for a spare bedroom and the "Full HD" image quality was average and the speaker quality was harsh and poor. The screen ended up dying after a few years of limited use also. The warehouse isn't the best with after sales service either I found if you are purchasing from them. I would personally grab a refund and get something else.

I cant say Ive seen a Veon TV state that they support HDR also, crazy in this day and age.

I'd never get a Veon for entertainment, but the criteria was to get the biggest we could get for the best price. We don't expect amazing picture or sound, and to be fair (until it died) the picture seemed fine for what we needed.

Anywhere we could get a better brand 75" for $1999? Preferably in stock in Chch.

EDIT: I'd still love to know if the Veons are HDR though, can't find the info anywhere.

TCL for $2398

HDR, Dolby Vision. Not sure you'd get it much cheaper than that.

Why would you want HDR in Teams?

Probably don't need it, but would like to know if it at least has it. It's unbelievable that nobody seems to know. The Warehouse house don't know, the company that does all the Veon repairs don't know. No-one I've spoken to even knows what HDR is.

This Panasonic 75JX600Z look like it might be OK, but it's hard to ignore the 3 year warranty on the Veon.

IMO with VC you're looking for the most natural, true to life representation of the people at the other end of the call. HDR is going to make this worse and is not required.

I get it may be a nice to have if you have the odd office movie night in that room, but that's about the only use case for it in an office environment.
