Default HDR & WCG :: significant technical advancements :: improved picture quality

'new video enhancement' :: (definitely not so)

simply :: given advancements in display technology (performance), finally, standards of content creation and display are advancing to levels of performance previously unattainable

consequence :: cameras have 'always' captured more quality than our technology of 'display' have allowed - only now, the 'original image quality' can be realized in 'new content grading and display' therefore, we are able to 'see' more of what was 'original' - - - as film-makers 'always intended' but, until now, were unable to transfer from the set/camera to both theaters and homes

so :: as we approach the 'evolving standards' of rec.2020 (HDR & WCG are the 'early improvements') we will (especially with Dolby Vision 'grading' of content) to experience more of 'being on the original set or more specifically, 'see' more of what the 'camera captured, during the 'original film-making'
