As well as decreases the input lag for 4K HDR mode. I've been following this on the Sony.com boards, however, It's been a week since it was released and I still don't have the update on mine. I'm located in Israel, and our Sony TVs are imported from Italy. I was wondering if some of you know when this update is due to reach European models, currently it looks like it's only available for US models.

 

Thanks
