Translation: machine translated
"Ultra HD Premium" (abbreviated to UHD Premium) is a new seal of quality that was introduced in spring 2016 to reduce confusion and help make it easier to compare the quality of 4K televisions. If a TV receives the UHD Premium logo, you can be sure that it fulfils all the requirements for good UHD or 4K picture quality.

What does the UHD Premium logo include
?
According to the "UHD Alliance", a 4K TV is only truly future-proof if it has the UHD Premium logo and therefore fulfils the requirements from the following five areas. The following topics are assessed. In order to receive the logo, the minimum requirements must be met. This ensures that the TV guarantees good 4K picture quality.

- Colour space: BT.2020 for signal input as a must, display reproduction at least over 90% of DCIP3
- The colour depth must correspond to 10 bit

Sony has decided not to take part in the certification process. The TVs are labelled with their own seal: "4K HDR". Important: 4K HDR does not correspond 1:1 to the UHD Premium standard. Sony's top model, the ZD9, currently fulfils all UHD Premium requirements.
