Do people really have issues with HDR? I calibrated my TV once when I bought it and it’s been incredible since.
Don’t ever mention HDR to a Linux user.
hdr on steam deck works better than on windows lmao
There are people who have problems with HDR, mostly people with TVs that have no business trying to display HDR content but the manufacturer added the feature anyway because sales.
None of my displays support this kind of HDR so some games (mostly those with no way of turning it off) end up darker than they would if I had a display that supported it. Haven’t had other media do this though.
My monitor states it does HDR but the nits are like only the bare minimum for it to be labelled as having HDR that it’s not worth using. My tv on the other hand supports hdr10+ and Dolby vision so actually does look worthwhile.
If you have the right TV, the right streaming box, and the right receiver (if you use one), HDR looks fine, but a lot of TVs either don’t support HDR or have a really terrible HDR implementation. And then a lot of streaming services either have bad non-HDR video streams or just take the TV claiming HDR at face value and don’t give you a way to turn it off.
I don’t think it’s fair to expect everyone to extensively research and buy high-end TVs just so they can (literally) see a movie or show.
Also, La La Land was one of the worst lit movies I’ve ever seen.
You gotta admit tho, La La Land being announced as the winner of the Oscar for best picture for like 10 seconds before the announcer corrected himself and said Moonlight won was absolutely the funniest shit.
phones need a setting to disable hdr media globally and preferably per-app
never have i been scrolling my feed with my screen brightness set to minimum and felt “huh! i wish this one specific picture abused the OLED capabilities of my screen to make itself blindingly bright for no reason”
im sure the standard/format is fine in theory but all the mobile implementations i have seen are below useful
