HDR Content

This video's going to look weird if you don't have HDR, and probably if you do have HDR as well since the technology on PC is in its infancy and nothing can do it right just yet. I swear the text I put in this video was 'white'!
0:00 - Nice video quality 1
0:32 - HDR for you SDR people
1:52 - My story
5:08 - Conclusion

    Your TV or phone has a better chance of displaying HDR than your PC's monitor does, but IF you have a mouse cursor, move it over the brightest parts of the video and be amazed at how dark the white of the cursor looks!

    Watching on a S20 FE. It makes the whole screen colors look duller but the video looks right, except that I need to up the brightness a lot to see anything, and then get blinded when I go back to SDR. There were parts where white backgrounds looked with low brightness, 5:00. Is that normal? It looks fine on the thumbnail when dragging the timeline

If I remember correctly they wanted to switch, but because how bad the YT HDR->SDR converter worked it meant that majority of people will get worse picture quality if they don't have HDR screens (or on cheap HDR). I had a laptop with HDR, but it's max brightness was about 400, some games did look better, but for others it was such a mess and looked much worse. Since then I just disabled it and never looked back. Not even mentioning how brightness constantly was changing depending how many white pixel you had on a screen, certainly windows is terrible at it.

One issue I see in this video for example is that your cat clip at the end is overexposed in-camera and also graded at a luminance that's too high. My advice for now is that you'll have to figure out a way to see what you're doing, since as you said Vegas isn't previewing HDR correctly.

    About screenshots - ShareX screenshots look normal as long as the content is in SDR. As soon as you try taking a screenshot of something HDR, it gets washed out, which you can see in the preview too. So, SDR content in HDR mode is fine, but as soon as something uses HDR, like a lot of websites, including Wikipedia for some reason, things will look wrong. There was some attempt to implement HDR tonemapping to ShareX, but the developer doesn't have a HDR screen to test on. Oh, Steam takes pretty good screenshots of HDR content though.

    Something I've noticed about Apple's desktop implementation is that it's rather fiddly, at least within the confines of a web browser. It seems when HDR is active, the "normal" whites on the screen become darker and some flickering can occur (which I believe is due to the delay in local dimming zones on my MacBook Pro). However, my experience filming proper video in HDR and then viewing it in Premiere Pro and Resolve is that it can be great... if SDR tone-mapping stops being so bad.

    One weird downside with watching hdr content on my phone is that it actually desaturates and makes the entire screen darker. I can also see the content in non hdr mode if I bring up the volume change control, for some reason it disables hdr. So yeah, desktops aren't the only systems with weird HDR support.

    back in the quake 1 era, i used to crank gamma WAY up. it made the game look absolutely gorgeous. High contrast scenes with deep, smooth shadows, and bright highlights. much more immersive than the grayish brown wash that most people used. it was basically "auto HDR" in the 90's. now, both my consoles and my pc are on OLED tvs. but i don't use HDR on my pc, merely because support for it is terrible and a hassle. i don't want my desktop to be in HDR, just the games, and windows 10 makes a mess of that. so i'd rather leave everything in SDR and turn it on only for the odd content that calls for it, like this. i'm actually a bit salty my tv doesn't let me push gamma above 2.4. i wanted to use 2.6 gamma without tampering with color profiles on windows

    Rocking one of the first ROG Swift monitors: PG278Q but been looking for an upgrade since TN panel is now rather outdated technology by today standards. For past 2 years I have been waiting for: (AOC AG274QGM / MSI MEG 271Q Mini LED / ViewSonic LITE XG272G) they were announced way back in 2021 with release date set to 2022 Q3 but then they never got released. It is still mistery to me. I still feel like 4K is not really there yet, unless person is using 4090. QHD is still way to go in my opinion. PS. compared the video on macbook pro 2021 and the PG278Q I must admit, those shades of purple did blow my mind a bit. PPS. while comparing my gpu driver crashed on desktop (4080), so overall there is a lot more room for improvement

This video is a perfect summary of how it is to cosume, and create hdr content as of rght now. This should video should be watch by everyone considering an hdr monitor rn. And yeah recording in hdr is so annoying, sometimes. I really which there was a simple way to convert HDR to SDR, I feel like it should be possible, but never managed to do it in davinic resolve. Also yeah, 5:27 those transitions are horrible, actually hurting your eyes when you're not prepared lmao.

    My biggest issue with HDR on PC is the fact that using it is kind of a pain. There's youtube, but as Linus ranted about a few months ago, HDR content on youtube doesn't use all of the metadata it can, resulting in a relatively poor viewing experience. Along with that, some games just ignore the HDR setup I go through in windows. Microsoft Flight Simulator is a good example. It completely ignores windows HDR setup, which would be fine if it had its own HDR adjustment sliders, but... it doesn't? So on both Xbox and PC, depending on your display, highilghts are massively overblown. It's giving highlights in excess of 1000 or even 10,000 nits, when my display can only really handle 600. I know HDR600 isn't "proper" hdr, but it's still a significant step up from SDR. But by far the biggest issue is watching content in HDR. KZread has HDR content avaliable free, but it's not perfect. Netflix only allows you to watch HDR on your pc if you've got their most expensive plan, but Disney+ and Prime Video simply flat-out refuse to allow HDR on pc. It's stupid. Idk if windows movies and tv really supports it; but I know plex does.

    I finally bothered to calibrate my monitor recently so SDR content still looks normal when HDR is enabled. And I haven't turned windows its HDR off since, SDR looks as it should and HDR pushes it further. This has been my experience with a lot of monitors, where in HDR they really mess up and "wash out" how SDR is shown. Even though SDR should look identical to when HDR is turned off.

    One of the thing I’ve noted with an HDR display is while it does look better for most games it’s not that much better even with HDR options built in. I think that largely has to do with the simple fact that all of the information presented to the user should work on a regular SDR display and most people don’t have HDR displays so optimizations are not perfect. For now with gaming I think it needs more time and adoption to really get cooking because the advantages it could really bring aren’t truly available now

    Main issue is people not quantifying visual difference between HQ img and LQ. Darks can be darker without crushing the blacks (Making grays too dark). Then at same time making bright brighter without washing out brighter grays or bleeds light into the dark areas of the image/screen. Currently not impressed by costs and features of monitors. I am running a TN 60hz 1920x1080 display and will eventually upgrade to oled unless another tech supersedes it.
