HDR / SDR / DOLBY / nits and bits ...
« on: February 16, 2017, 10:40:26 AM »
All new TVs are actually "marketed" with the HDR term. No clue really what he's writing about (Rec.2020, ST.2084, highlights...) and I don't think that the user base is already grading "HDR" at the time of writing this. Still found this interesting to share:

Wonder if it's just a new way of saying "dynamic contrast" (one of the worst inventions ever for LCDs).

If you want a better insight into HDR SGO made some good introductory videos but unless you're grading for HDR on a HDR compliant monitor it will not be of any practical use to you. It is worth understanding the concept though :)
