I always thought, "if you want to show HDR video on a non-hdr screen, just make everything dimmer but set the brightness to max." This video is a pretty good demonstration of that. It's a bit ironic, though, that this is an SDR video that I'm watching on my HDR-supported phone.

It's kind of weird we would need to get a 4k netflix subscription to get the most out of a phone screen.

[@ShiroCh_ID]

lol i get you my phone was 4K HDR Capable screen

[@guily6669]

My phone has HDR but sadly it's fake HDR from what I understand out of it... 1st the brand claims 900 nits peak brightness and all I get is like 400nits best, 2nd the bit rate of the screen is low and very low processing power which has very high color banding problems, 3rd the HDR brightness is so stupid that is seems to be just a "full" screen dimming\brightening which basically simple seems to be moving the brightness control on android up and down instead of actually be doing that realistically pixel-by-pixel on the screen like it should because increasing the general brightness simply also increases the lower nits part of the image brightening them up too which is sad..., 4th anyway it's the first TCL smartphone (TCL 10 Pro) so yeah, I guess they "tried", even their own first OLED in the phone looks very different to any other brand, but not in a good way 😁

[@yuxuanhuang3523]

I tried KZbin HDR and I don't know if it's the problem with my device or the video. Everything switches to P3 colorspace and gets over saturated. Peak brightness doesn't get any improvement over SDR either, it just dimmed everything else except the subtitles, which is terrible so I turned off CC. By the way it's a Huawei flagship phone soI had to find a alternative way to use KZbin on it. But again the same problems happen on my windows computer with HDR enabled display.

If your TV has a 'Game mode', turning it on will usually turn off the vast majority of image processing in the TV. This both reduces latency and prevents the TV from doing image processing in an image that it expects your computer/ console has already processed.

Don't do this. Those post-processing modes are there for a reason. They account for issues within the display technology itself, your TV, artifacts from compression, etc etc. The reason those modes exist is because for gaming etc it's often better to have low latency than a better image.

The thing that entices me about HDR, from what I understand about it, is the added color depth. At least, from what I remember reading about it like a year or two ago. As a digital artist, it'd be great to smudge my fake paint around and get smoother gradients between different values. And then, of course, I'd want to share my work around with that color depth for anyone with an HDR monitor to enjoy. Being able to shine a believable facsimile to the sun in people's faces would also be nice.

[@genewitch]

that's just leaving "Standard RGB Space" which is 8 bits per pixel. Having pixels or displays that can handle more than 8 bits allows more colors without obvious artifacting/banding. I even have a display that only technically has 7 bits per pixel, but trades the color depth for viewing angle and grey to grey speed. AFAIK 10bit is more common now than 10 years ago, which is over a BILLION COLORS!

[@ZacDonald]

Color banding from only have 0-255 values to work with is pretty bad. With 8 bit color there's no way you can fade between light blue to medium purple smoothly across a screen without banding, dithering, or noise.

the most important part of hdr is the increased bit depth from 8 bits per channel to 10 bits. now instead of R, G, and B values being defined on a scale from 0-255, it's from 0-1023. In addition, HDR uses a PQ curve instead of a gamma curve, which means more detail and less banding in darker areas.

[@muhamadardiyansah446]

You mean 0-255 or 0-1023 right?. And yes PQ curve gives more information to the dark areas because as you said less banding and more detail to those areas, not only that, but also human eye is more sensitive to dark areas. That's why deep black screen is the required spec to show HDR content 😉

Higher color depth, such as 10 bits per primary, has been around since way before the "HDR" moniker took hold of TV marketing. Brighter displays with deeper blacks and better color gradients. We all want that. The industry has been working toward that for a long time.

hdr standards aren't really special, but they give permission to (mostly amateur) creators to embrace it, use the extended brightness range, have more detail in the lows. honestly the brightness scaling is still wack in most content, its worth pursuing in moderation. 10-bit colour is more important. 8-bit colour depth in HDR content looks very silly, very exaggerated colour banding in digitally created scenes with no dithering. in that case, it is literally no different to SDR except the distance between light and dark

[@HAWXLEADER]

8bit is not HDR by definition. What you call HDR in 8bit is simply crushing the blacks and cranking up the contrast. AKA joining the hype BANDwagon.

[@joesterling4299]

Yes. Brighter displays. Deeper blacks. More bits per color primary. This is what matters. "HDR" is just some marketing label, since any display that can ace all the vital parameters is going to look "HDR" when displaying high-quality content. It's a continuous gradient of improvement in the tech, and "HDR/SDR" makes it seem like there's a wall between two very different things. Not so.

2:43 Warning, the following text is a rant I contained for months: Speaking of useless TV settings, my home has an old Sony Bravia. I'll list the most annoying settings: 1. Clear White: Enabling this changes the *color temperature* of colors near the white grayscale to be more neutral and less *yellow.* That's right, the TV *CONSTRAINS* only the white colors to have a redish tone *BY DEFAULT.* 2. Advanced Contrast Amplification: I can't even begin to describe my hatred for this infamous setting. It messes up the color scale, adds banding artifacts, and dynamically changes how an image is displayed in real-time. It also comes with a "deep black" feature that just turns off the backlight when MANY SECONDS of pure blackness have passed. This is an energy-saving feature! it should be independent from image post-processing and be located in the "Eco" category of settings! If it REALLY amplified contrast, the TV should react instantly to a black frame being displayed. And I'm not exaggerating, the TV has a "LED Movement Mode" which flickers the backlight at 60Hz to achieve fluid animation like PWM screens. It would be as easy to include a dedicated hardware chip to check if every pixel in a frame is black while the screen is doing a progressive (linear) scan, that doesn't consume much memory, nor energy. 3. Live Color: this *doesn't oversaturate colors,* it just unlocks the full saturation range (just like Clear White unlocks grayscale). The colors only get oversaturated when you set it to max value, mid and low are fine. 4. Gamma: I actually like having control over this setting, but the fact that it has a range of integers from -3 to +3 while barely changing the grayscale is so dumb. There are even more settings I hate but this comment is too long and I forgot about them lol

Depending on the Pulse Width and frequency, the flicker can be noticed by some people, which can cause the image to be annoying, so some people prefer the traditional Sample-&-Hold continuous method.

All that nonsense? HDR is one of the best things to happen to media in a long time. I'm sorry that this video has completely mislead you with all of it's misinformation. This video is terrible because it completely ignores basic things about HDR content like the added bit depth, completely ignores entire display technologies like OLED that make up huge sections of the market and don't have bloom problems. It also conveniently ignores that while most HDR displays cannot reach brightnesses used in mastering, they still reach much much higher brightnesses than normal SDR displays, and the remaining missing brightness actually doesn't lead to a loss in bright colours, the TV just redistributes across the spectrum (and also the distance in brightness between them is relatively small in perception due to how humans see brightness). Also telling people to just disable everything is also incredibly ignorant. Many of those settings actually bring the image back to how the original master was. They're there to handle artifacts introduced by the display technology, even your specific panel, and artifacts introduced by digital compression which occurs after the master. Disabling many of them will get you further away from the original image. If you want accurate information on which ones help (e.g. he switched off a noise filter which generally account for compression artifacts) then I'd strongly suggest a channel like HDTVTest, or a site like Rtings. And all of this also ignores things like Dolby Vision. Again HDR is one of the best things to happen in a long time. It's far better than just repeatedly pushing the resolution up again and again.... I'm not suggesting you get a new TV, just that the jump between a 2008 HD TV and a modern 4K HDR OLED is insane, and most of that jump is by HDR.

There is nothing to explain because it is a scam. The only thing that benefits is games and that do not require an HDR monitor either. Half Life 2 and Doom 3 did this already in ~2004. Outside the virtual world it is pointless because the source is already HDR. That is why my crappy Nokia or any camera makes photos that are virtually the same looking when compared to what I see in the real world. The only issue may be proper blacks. That though got nothing to do with HDR. That is the panel's fault. Use Mico LED or OLED instead of VA, IPS, TN. The self emission of the physical pixel is key. IPS etc does not self emit instead it gets blocked to produce black. So the back light still shines fully and leaks. Hence such background glow.

[@Saturn2888]

​@@techpriest4787 Saying "HDR is a scam" is a big claim and requires some data to back it up. Do you have HDR displays? Have you seen the difference? My eyes were opened when I saw both games, video, and photos in HDR. The HDR from cameras is tone mapping HDR to SDR by taking the photo at multiple exposure levels. Half-Life 2's HDR is about how your eyes see light. It's still tone mapping to SDR, but more like how Dolby Vision tone maps 4000 nit HDR to your display's HDR capabilities. It's brighter than SDR, and the difference is very clear. Deeper blacks are nice, but there's still a major change just from having a brighter screen. In a lot of ways, it overrides the fact that LCDs have elevated black-levels.

I noticed my TV looks way better when I set It to "on". I found this setting on even the oldest TVs, I strongly recommend it to everyone. Your welcome 📺 🖥

is that meant to be funny?

[@FrankCosbyNo-Relation]

@@abhirams.g1919 No, it's meant to be cathartic.

[@abhirams.g1919]

@@FrankCosbyNo-Relation Can you elaborate on it?

[@FrankCosbyNo-Relation]

@@abhirams.g1919 Well my second comment definitely wasn't sarcasm, I can tell you that much.

On an industrial vision system, we used HDR mode and played around with aperture and camera gain in order to find specific features in the image. It work fantastically well. Our robotic application will now be far easier than the previous system that did not have HDR. So then, it is useful for something. I also played around with HDR on my Sony RX10M4. Like what was mentioned in this video, it just doesn't seem too useful.

[@briannowaye]

There is more to an HDR screen then max brightness and lower exposure... like a real hdr screen and footage... there is simply more data being sentboth recording and viewing... but this is in essence the same and a great explanation !!!!

[@artisticVandal-J]

HDR on OLED is pretty good

[@PosyMusic]

Agreed. The washed out black on LG's (haven't seen all of them) is kind of a bummer though.

[@chewyno]

This is such a great video

In essence hdr is just that but there's a lot more to it, color space is a lot wider making it possible to display saturation levels that don't fit in sdr signal. the signal is encoded in completely different way too, sdr signal need to be gamma corrected and the way gamma curves and maximum display brightness are configured can make image look completely different from BT709 standard which is gamma of 2.2 at maximum white luminescence of 100nits; hdr signal directly incorporates absolute per pixel brightness level making it easier to get accurate image, and easier to calibrate the display.
