I'm not sure if this is the thread (admins can put it is the correct topic, if they want to). But how are all you keeping the versions of HDR version in your mind?

For Me HDR10 is HDR, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. I sometimes get confused between HDR10 and HDR10+ in release details and pages for BDs/UHDs.

So I kind of get sad when I see HDR10, and think they mean HDR10+. As I guess I'm getting use to the lingo.

What are your thoughts. Would it be better to just say HDR = HDR10 and HDR+ = HDR10+.

just wondering not trying to start wars.

FYI, HDR+ is an actual feature used by one (or two?) tv manufacturers to boost or augment picture quality. It’s not an official HDR format as defined by official standards, as illustrated by Lee’s post right above mine.

Ok, thank you... sorry if I made you mad LEE. Im not as technical as most on the site. Im a quick learner and tend to get the gest of it.


I'll got how there defined now, no + is regular.

Also I think HGL and Technicolor HDR would be easier to say ;3

Please don't get mad.

PS: Lee and GK
I've been trying to look for a book or articles or anything on the history of the Technicolor, from beginning till now. I tend to get side tracked and then is hard to figure out what i was looking for
I also wouldn't mined reading up on there adv-HDR. Will it be rolling out soon. You can PM me the links if want. Thank you.

Don’t worry about it. Lee’s a good guy, generally. He may have been a bit grouchy because he recently had an altercation with a stout woman with an attitude while shopping at his local Dollar Tree.

I know, I know, the last several pages have been rather HDR intensive.

For Technicolor and Advanced HDR, search my past posts in this thread using search words - Technicolor Josh
Or, for most up-to-date info perhaps try searching member DanBa old posts on this thread using the search words – Technicolor HDR

huge success for The Queen’s Gambit - https://about.netflix.com/en/news/th...limited-series (albeit, as measured with a proprietary metric); nevertheless, anyone experiencing with their TV’s apps a similar HDR issue to this? - https://www.reddit.com/r/bravia/comm...sues_on_x900f/

We’re only paying for SDR Netflix content, and everything looked great that way.
Great program btw, ATJ was so convincing, and she was too clever for herself in Emma, another gem.

I will say my Sony Z9D has streaming profiles that did not match my normal SDR or HDR settings (SDR was too hot on Netflix) and (HDR was not set to Max brightness on Amazon or Disney). Had to do some tweaking to tame down SDR brightness and Max the HDR brightness.

^ a result I think a merchandiser of any old hobby or pastime would be envious of.

and for the Camerimage 2020 session on His Dark Materials, starting @ about 0:32:55 timestamp (-53:53, counting down), the reasoning (creative intent) to limiting the highlights (even with fire, etc.) to 650 nits with the look modification transform for the HDR master - https://online.ecfcamerimage.pl/vods/vod.488

Just dropping a note that currently this thread is at 7,788,730 views.

I know COVID-19 has taken most of the air from many topics (and that thing we had Nov 3), but HDR interest still is moving along. And I continue to see new converts to 4K in various threads, so upgrades continue to happen. Always happy to see more folks join the party.
