That article you linked about the finish of Wandavision was a case in point, the production shipping LG OLEDs to the post-production principles so they could post the movie remotely during the pandemic.
Yet the OLED hordes haven't come after you.

For instance, what HDR/SDR content is acceptable to Amazon, etc. as opposed to that for Netflix.
Color scientists responding to Dolby Vision IQ. (don’t cheat by contacting Rob Wanat on the down low about it either).

If not, and our Canadian friend can stay off the phone for a little while, maybe like in years past, LordoftheRings is available - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...n#post17008673

and/or Waboman has shown he can count too - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...o#post18251918

As of this moment, looks like we’re at 11,424,100 but the evening’s young and you don’t know for sure what’s in store for the midnight finale –



although the capture and transfer appears a tad yellow in the sunlight this morning rather than the pure orange of which it is, we'll be riding in the Halloween theme color -



and hoping that the night proves safer than this –

I see that orange on the shaded portion of the brake caliper, that color transform (into yellow) by whatever digital sensor you were using is what keeps professional colorists busy. Hmmmm…

Prior post reaction: hope that’s a prop knife ala Knive’s Out, wouldn’t want any accidents…

Thanks to Penton's note above we were 10M+ Sept. 06.

So about 733,000 new views in 24~25 days. At 25 days, that's 29,320 a day.
I think my eyebrows just singed off from that pace.
Or else there's been a cosmic surge in HDR interest this month. Just sayin'...
HI, It's Halloween (aka Oct 31) and it's just after 10 pm PDT.

Current View total is 11,425,465 - 10,733,012 (Sept 30) = 692,453 views for 31 days. That's about 22,337 avg / day. 2/3 million for a month continues to be a huge draw to this site, and quality HDR news and info is the key topic. (not the only topic).

Thanks to all the folks and all their eyeball reads that make HDR and this place interesting (and sometimes fun). Thanks, Everyone.

The 2021 Bill Lovell Memorial Lecture being given by Prinyar Boon is free and for those unable to attend in-person, the event will be recorded and made available online afterwards. No matter what he talks about, and he may well delve into HDR as in the hyperlinked YouTube in his bolded name which follows and whether or not you’re the likes of PaulGo – https://forum.blu-ray.com/member.php?u=12154 or Wendell,

Prin is someone whose experiences and insights are well worthwhile following - https://www.smpte.org/sections/united-kingdom

Upon receiving this notice via email - https://flandersscientific.com/news/ , wondering what that portends for other professional monitors and for that matter, consumer electronics.

why do 4K discs always look darker then their 1080p counterparts?...why can't HDR brighten the existing image without first darkening/dimming it?

It probably has more to do with your TV than the actual disc or content.

Truth is most home video transfers have been artificially brightened to look better on displays. HDR returns it to the original dynamic range of the film capture.

Peter,
for the home media deliverables, I would really like to see an HDR version of this film eventually come to pass – https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10095582/ as Peter Doyle is the supervising colorist.

That same cinematographer/colorist duo has done some pretty successful HDR work before, e.g. https://www.postmagazine.com/Publica...t-Hour-I-.aspx
