2960 x 1848 (WQHD+), which is lower than true 4K resolution (3840 x 2160). Quoted per Google search. This is like a projector i always aim to purchase one with a good native resolution. I guess your tablet cannot, technically, would be my answer.

Makes sense but why does it not play HDR

Quoted per Google, While the S9 series displays are excellent, their WQHD+ resolution falls short of true 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, which is generally considered the minimum requirement for optimal HDR viewing.

My s23 ultra plays at 1080p hdr though

Because, quote lol The S23 Ultra uses an AMOLED display, which is generally better suited for HDR than the LCD display found in the Tab S9 series. AMOLED displays offer higher contrast ratios and deeper blacks, which are essential for HDR.

Okay, are you able to view 4k videos a on any other platform maybe it is amazon issue.

The maximum resolution on the Tab S9 display is the resolution of the actual Tab S9 Display. It is less than 4k. Now connect an external 4k display to that same tablet and start your movie app from that display and you will get that video in 4k resolution.

Looking at your Tab display as opposed to the external 4k display I doubt that wou would be able to tell the difference... I can't with mine.

Also, you can get a graphic display of your resolution by turning on Developer Options->GPU Watch.

Consider PPI on the devices when factoring your viewing experience. 3840x2160 on a 75" TV PPI calculates to 58.74. Tab S9 Ultra with it's 2960 x 1848 pixels on its 14.7" screen has a PPI of 237.38.

There's no comparison here. Even at less than 4k native, the density of pixels that are refreshing at 120hz will still provide a better viewing experience.

By the way, all Galaxy Tab S9 series have 2x AMOLED displays, starting from the base model.
