Off the top of my head they actually are 4K, they have an RGBW configuration for each sub pixel instead of RGB. For HDR purposes LCD's have a lot of trouble hitting the contrast level they need to because of their inability to produce anything truly close to black. Due to this, they need to push rather insane brightness based on what we are used to. The white subpixel allows them, in essence, to double(or more) their brightness and achieve the level of nits they need to offset their very poor blacks.
They actually have created two different HDR standards, one for OLEDs(for point of reference, plasma TVs would use this if they were still around) and one for LCDs. The contrast actually still favors OLEDs(which have infinite contrast available to them by nature) but it at least allows LCDs to get to non embarrassing contrast levels, albeit at the expense of a torch level brightness the likes of which most people have never seen before
The OLEDs do have a better picture, the Best Buy trip had us both very impressed with a tv that cost $5,900..
Not impressed enough to pay $5,900 for a tv, but it definitely has better contrast than the various LED tvs.
