  Thanks for the input. I got confused when people said Tetris effect looked “sooo much better” with HDR and I wasn’t seeing any difference at all.

    HDR, from what I loosely understand, is related to the color gamut (the reds, greens, and blues) the display can produce. The sRGB coverage used on most displays today is the BT 709 standard. HDR is the newer DCI-P3 standard, and it covers a wider range of colors.

    But that’s why games and systems that don’t support those extra colors won’t give you any extra “oomph” on an HDR display (because it’s only coded to utilize the capabilities of an SDR display).

    I recommend this article for further reading: tomshardware.com/…/what-is-hdr-monitor,36585.html

      HDR is actually the BT.2020 color gamut. Films mastered in HDR typically use DCI-P3 because that’s the standard for theaters, but it’s a smaller color gamut than BT.2020, which is what even HDR10 (the most common form of HDR with the lowest specs) supports.

        The article I cited says that modern HDR hardware can’t actually reach BT.2020, though that’s the ultimate goal.

        Has that changed?

  I still don't know how my HDR works or if. I feel like every time it's enabled it looks weird. Maybe because it's different, or maybe i'm doing it wrong but it's to much of a hassle to play with the settings. I feel like on the tv it's a bit different where i think it looks better.

    Honestly in many cases it looks worse, and even the opposite of “high dynamic range”. I don’t get the hype.

      Likely you haven’t seen it on a good display. It is quite noticeable and a big improvement on a nice display. HDR 400 is not really HDR and not worth running it in that mode if that’s all your display supports.
