Not every Ultra HD TV supports 10-bit colour. If you're not sure whether your TV supports 10-bit colour, select Find it for me. If 10-bit colour is turned on, on your TV, this will be selected otherwise it will select 8-bit colour.

We've listed the name of the settings for the most popular TV manufacturers that need to be turned on. But, if you're not sure which setting it is, check your TV user manual or contact your TV manufacturer for more info.
