HDR 4K Demo Test Video

If you want to show off or test the HDR capabilities of your display, this is a compilation of some of the best HDR test videos based on low APL % scenes we could find. These are darker overall scenes, with bright highlights and will allow you to test and showcase:
1) the black depth and contrast of the panel
2) test the levels of blooming and halos if present around bright areas
3) observe the brightest peak brightness highlights
Please see guidance and instructions below
This video has been compiled by us using a selection of short clips from a collection of publicly available demo videos from Sony, Samsung and LG so you can test the HDR on your monitor. Videos have been rendered in 4K, HDR10, PQ EOTF, 10-bit colour depth, DCI-P3 gamut

Instructions

Thank you for putting this together, really helpful for calibrating HDR settings

[@Silverbolt1981]

Thanks a lot!!

[@PumatSol]

Could you specify the luminance values in the clips used? (MaxFALL/MaxCLL)

[@Exploited89]

Thank you very much! Very useful stuff

[@Keiji99]

Just so everyone is aware, HDR DOES NOT work on Firefox. You have to use Chrome or Edge.

[@tftcentral]

Good point. Added to guidance notes!!

[@PD-ws4td]

It works on Mac

[@spookyman9994]

fantastic video and i am appreciating my asus pg32ucdm more and more , you know just a suggestion it would be awesome if you could start reviewing 4k HDR movie for us so we can pick based on your results :)

[@sudd3660]

looks pretty great, but there is no hdr sticker on the settings, do not think this is hdr.

[@tftcentral]

It is, but you’ll need to follow instructions in description. The HDR logo shows when I test it

[@sudd3660]

​@@tftcentral it is working now, hdr needed some time on youtube's end processing. i wish that KZbin would serve us highest quality first so these issues do not happen. or i dragged the video from an sdr monitor and needed to refresh to get hdr enabled.

[@tftcentral]

@sudd3660 yeah sometimes refreshing does the trick. There’s a useful chrome extension to force highest res selection on KZbin auto play I believe too

[@MuzdokOfficial]

Wow

[@techieg33k]

This looks nice on my phone. A computer Monitor would be nice

[@tftcentral]

Yeah phones do pretty well for HDR! A good monitor should also look great

[@techieg33k]

@@tftcentral Yep, I keep watching content you're putting out and monitors unboxed and just looking for having enough money saved up honestly.

[@tftcentral]

@techieg33k it will be worth it once you’ve saved. Loads of good choices out there! Hope our reviews and content have been helpful

[@anfernee1980]

@@tftcentralit is incredible how we have good hdr power on phones and tvs range screens and not so good in the 32 to 40 range

[@jwhi419]

The common person doesnt buy tvs below 55 inches. It's unfortunate. Now that 65 inches are $400 and below. Even those might start to dissappear​@@anfernee1980

[@ROR5CH4CH]

Why do I just learn here by accident, that Firefox does not support HDR lol. Now everything makes sense ^^

[@tftcentral]

Haha glad it helped 😀

[@GrainGrown]

So is this 4K 4096x2160 or UHD 3840x2160?

[@tftcentral]

UHD 3840 x 2160

[@arjen7024]

is this available as a download?

[@tftcentral]

No I'm afraid not as it's a large file size given 4K HDR. But you should be able to just play it off KZbin whenever you want :)

[@eukariootti1]

I can't see any kind of HDR with my mobile phone. Is this Android/Samsung/S23+ -related bug? - Nominally 200M Mobile data, measured few minutes ago 151M - Android 14 + One UI 6.1 - I tried Chrome and Samsung Internet (since Firefox shouldn't work) GSMArena: *Samsung Galaxy S23+* (2023) - Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, HDR10+, 1200 nits (HBM), 1750 nits (peak) - 6.6 inches, 1080 x 2340 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio

[@tftcentral]

It should work although I’m not sure how Samsung mobiles handle it tbh. It works on an iPhone I know that

[@eukariootti1]

@@tftcentral If I find a solution some day, I'll try to remember to post it here.

[@eukariootti1]

Mine is Galaxy S23+. The minimum for *HDR10* is Galaxy S9. *HDR10+* is supported since Galaxy S10. Even the latest S24 Ultra doesn't support *Dolby Vision.* These Samsung Galaxys _should support_ at least HDR10..._ Fold Z Fold2 Z Flip S9 (incl. Lite/5G/e/+/Ultra) Sxx FE: S21 FE, S23 FE Note 8 A73 5G A54 M54 Tab S3 9.7 And these Apple iPhones: 720p HDR: 11, SE (2nd generation), 8, XR 1080p HDR: 11 Pro, 12, 8 Plus, X, XS
