Ultra HD compatibility and set up on your 4K TV (older models)

Big things are coming at EE

BT and EE are part of the same family, and big things are coming for the EE brand. But this won't change any of the BT services you have with us today. Read more about the changes coming to EE.

Choose your TVs make from the list below and find the model you have so you know which HDMI port to use.

If your Ultra HD/4K TV is listed in the table, it's compatible with our Ultra HD. To make sure you receive Ultra HD picture quality, you'll need to plug your HDMI cable into the correct HDMI port on your TV.

Don't know your model number?

The model number is usually printed on a sticker on the back the TV, or can be found on the documentation you received with your TV.

Why isn't my model listed in the table?

This could be because:

  • We weren't able to confirm that your Ultra HD/4K TV is compatible with our Ultra HD service
  • Our Ultra HD service requires the TV to support HDCP2.2 content protection and a picture resolution of 2160p50 (sometimes known as 50Hz) over the same HDMI port. If you know you have a TV that supports these specification, you should try each HDMI port in turn and see which produces the higher quality picture
  • Your TV isn't compatible with Ultra HD. You can confirm this with the manufacturer

Disclaimer

You’ll need an Ultra HD/4k TV that’s compatible with our Ultra HD service. This list of TVs has been compiled through us testing or being informed by the TV manufacturers as being compatible. Our Ultra HD service requires the TV to support HDCP2.2 content protection and a picture resolution of 2160p50 (sometimes known as 50Hz) over the same HDMI port.

It is your responsibility to check the TV manufacturer’s product information to verify compatibility. We cannot accept responsibility if your TV does not support the display of BT’s Ultra HD content.
