Eh, I'll say it looks good with cartoon or anime styles but looks terrible on actual people. I've noticed that super resolution really smooths detail out of images. It also really doesn't work with some old video game footage as it like completely smears the textures. And honestly just tried the HDR feature on this video, it just made the video look dim. I don't know how they got the look they claimed in the videos because as soon as I turned it on the entire image just got flatter. I didn't notice any highlights getting brighter or anything staying bright while other parts dimmed, it just looked like the entire image dimmed down. Maybe it was only made with the expectation people are using OLED displays with low initial brightness?

Finished a build in that case last month and holy crap, I love it.

Watching this on three different displays with three different panels was so nice I was able to tell hdr content vs sdr when comparing the three

Some feedback in case it helps! For moving images, it's also useful to show stills to really focus on what you are commenting. Another idea is to split the image down in the middle showing the same footage with the before and after. Or if you "Slide" the correction in. Sometimes I'm lost looking at the wrong details (I'm no expert, in min 2:15 I was looking at the small buildings and didn't understand anything haha).

thanks linus and ltt i didnt even no about this feature until this vid poped up keep up the great work guys

Unlike most HDR vids on KZread which drag nearly every pixel to a blaring white just to show that they ar HDR, LTT's HDR is actully well graded. They actually know to keep the diffuse white (e.g. the towels) under SDR level and only push specular white to HDR level. Some movie studios don't even have this kind of understanding. Well done.

I can definitely vouch for PTM 7950. I’ve got one on my 3080 and it’s amazing, great consistent thermals with zero pump out. I’ll be using it on anything bare die from now on. Happy that LTT carries it now.

I really hope you’re right about the shield pro 2, all of this stuff makes perfect sense for it and I would love to have a google tv that doesn’t have a neutered processor and slow Ethernet port.

Thanks for uploading this in HDR and not SDR. Especially for us people who already use auto HDR, so that we can actually see the difference👏👏

I feel like to do an accurate comparison of hdr between nvidia and hdr mastering you should use the same monitor model for both cases as it eliminates panel types and keeps it as accurate as possible to really see the difference between both.

you can turn on RTX HDR and if u start a game or watch a movie with HDR it will be disabled by default. edit: if u are using Windows Auto HDR you have to turn it off to get RTX HDR working in the games without HDR.

If you want AutoHDR to "pop" go into the Gamebar Overlay and set the HDR slider in the options to max. The reason I don't use RTX HDR yet is because it doesn't work with more than one monitor and for whatever reason it causes a gray haze over my screen, possible because it misinterprets the max nits of my Coolermaster GP24U.

Tried this on a really nice monitor and I do like the look of it. I realise though for some of my animations it really brings the highlights up when really I might not have made it that bright compared to the rest. The thing is, sdr content can look really good if the color space is changed and maybe even the gamma. Then it can have a bit of a similar effect

My only issue is text, any time there's a white screen of anything it's just too bright but i just deal with it. Cause overall it's better. Some stuff "looks better" it's kind of the preference when it comes to HDR, brighter tends to be prefered. And a lot of media does not lean brighter.

I'm kinda starting to doubt the value of artistic intent in video as well. In music it has been long accepted that the neutral analytical audio the audio engineer uses to create the master, isn't the indented way of enjoying the music. What audio engineers, quite often I think, do is they master the audio to sound the best on most audio devices. With all the issues of compressions, software issues and in-monitor post processing, it's damn near impossible to get true artistic intent, whatever that means. Maybe whoever works on colour balance and contrast in videos, also just target the best quality for most screens instead of one truth. And I have calibrated high end monitor for mastering purposes, though mostly for colour accuracy for web design. The screen is not a great multimedia monitor.

@xavengarcia851

29 күн бұрын

@TealJosh Yeah, that's fair. For me, it's about what I feel is subjectively better as well. For audio, I feel that a neutral response with a med bass boost is best. Like with audio, I start with whatever is standard and build from there based on taste with whatever. In video, I feel more like adjustments are made for artistic reasons rather than fitting the average display and are done on calibrated accurate displays. Therefore, I always prefer display standard accuracy. Video started and was mainly watched on theater displays and when home displays became more mainstream, they always tried to adhere to standards, unlike audio(mainly because of the difference between analog tech difficulty, especially when it was created, and how widespread personal devices became just after the tech was developed). Even now, movies are made to be consumed on highly standardized displays that are similar to the mastering displays, unlike studio monitors in audio where they expect everyones devices to be different with little power to actually make meaningful changes in accuracy (I do think audio production is starting to shift toward standardization now too). Although tvs do tons of processing, every one is a little different in some significant way and I don't think anyone, especially professionals who care more than the average person about quality, are going to put a ton of effort in trying to master content to look only ok on every display and perfect on none, when they are trying to show us their creations. Anyone can adjust their settings anyway, thanks to that same digital processing tech, also unlike audio where the majority of devices don't have any dsp or some insignificant and niche form of it. Subjectively, I don't think there is a single setting I would change from standard(not saying default/manufacturer) not just because I think it is objectively better but because I actually like the way it looks, like how some people actually prefer more saturated contrasty and bright representations.

@@TealJoshLOL, no. Audio, just like film, is mastered on reference monitors which are better than any consumer electronics you can find. If you were unfortunate enough to do it on a device that would look the best on an average device, it would look terrible in a lot of devices. Simply because capabilities differ greatly and you simply cannot produce a good enough work without working on the best device you can find to master. And you simply cannot worry about all the other devices because they're always changing and so if it sounds or looks good on your reference monitor, it WILL look good on other devices, as long as those devices are not terribly miscalibrated. That's why it's crucial to have correctly calibrated display and proper speakes without any equalisation going on. While HDR is the same, it is a technical necessity as well and so unless a film is remastered in HDR, it isn't a terrible thing to do and it might just be the next best thing to real HDR. Obviously the algorithm Nvidia uses has no knowledge of the color grading decisions so it will just work auto and with some AI assist I suppose, which will sometimes conflict with the artist's intent, like the bar scene.

If your mix sounds good in an average sedan, you're some kind of wizard. Regarding HDR I would bet that the original artists would love to have this kind of tech at their disposal at the time of creation, displays being able to show the lights shine through masks just like old animation cels. And unless we have the original cel or master copy, we don't even know if the SDR bar scene is supposed to look like that in the first place, we just assume that as the reference. After all the scanning, taping, digitization, compression, and streaming steps, especially for retro content, there seems to be enough wiggle room for RTX HDR to not heavily interfere with "artists' intent". And at some point its fine to just enjoy things instead of chasing numbers all the time. RTX HDR makes it fun to go back and watch old content.

You do realize that a "Home Theater PC" doesn't require a home theater, right? HTPCs have almost always just been paired with regular TVs.

I have a Samsung G8 OLED, and wow this thing is so revealing when it comes to SDR streaming content (and even streaming HDR is meh...). I can turn on all the de-noising features of the monitor, but then that introduces lag. The NVidia driver's HDR button and the super resolution has made streaming okay on that screen, where it's no longer a distraction of how crappy online compression is. This is such a good feature to have on, more so on OLEDs. However it does make white things on video pop more than it should, to a humors degree at times. Also make sure to couple this with the windows 10/11 Windows HDR color calibrator, and you can help control the over saturation.

without enabling this and only have HDR enabled in windows like it used to be oversaturated many things thanks for letting me know

Watching this on the LG Wing in HDR was fun hahaha, I need more HDR content now

These videos in SDR look bad. Whites look grey. Every time they show a screenshot from a webpage, it's like the brightness from my screen goes to its lowest and everything is dull

It's really just a variance of the "Digital Vibrance" they have had for centuries. This has the same effect as the Digital vibrance to easy over saturate the collors if you don't go very easy on how much effect you add. I don't think you can realisticly make an SD film look as good as a real HDR recording, neither with AI in the mix.

Ive messed with both and the rtx hdr does more than just saturate the colours. It does look close and in some circumstances better than graded content, there are a few instances where it misses the mark though especially on 2d content like cartoons.

It changes the brightness of different areas of the scene as well

One big issue with SDR to HDR is how to deGamma the SDR content into linear before scaling it to the nits range you want for your 2084-PQ encoding. There's a lot of guessing, 2.2 vs sRGB vs bt.1886 etc, not all content is tagged correctly.

Watching on a 4K hdr10/vision tv you could absolutely tell the difference. Glad to see KZread on Apple TV supporting hdr video content now!

Still wish there was an [HDR] indicator somewhere to let us know to enable HDR in windows, pre-watching. Could you maybe have a quick little embedded logo, or something in the title. Thanks, and love the content. Gonna have to try this out soon. Love HDR, if and when it's done right. :)

Pro tip, if you have dual monitors you can still use RTX HDR with games via nvidia profile inspector (I reverted back to Geforce and the control panel also, not sure if that's necessary too)

@Past_Reflection

28 күн бұрын

how do you use profile inspector to turn on RTX HDR?

Just to increase functionality on the RTX products while not really using the RT or tensor cores of the GPU. HDR displays have greater color gamut and capable of higher brightness, but stretching SDR content to these specs causes oversaturation. The brightness implementation is correct that only highlights get boosted but it could be too much or distracting on whites like that on sample on the tennis court.

HDR is truly the audiophilia of today. like what, the shape of her face is better visible because the image is brighter??

Yep. HDR is just a meme. HDR would have a reason to exist if it was just expanded bit depth, but instead it's just marketing [censortube censors this word]. The worst part about it is that everything would be improved if it wasn't dynamic, but then they couldn't use it to push TV sales. If they just used static 16 bit depth, which they can, then it wouldn't be a meme.

So long as they’re going through the appropriate steps and checks to ensure their videos are factual correct and accurate, what’s the problem? They’ve said multiple times they were incorporating new processes to review their videos before release to make sure they were up to par. If they’re staying true to this commitment, then slowing down releases doesn’t change anything. If they’re on top of their game, slowing down just for the sake of slowing down, doesn’t make any sense. The quality of their videos lately has been amazing, and so long as they’re doing what they said they will in the background, I’ll eat it up. When the quality of the videos plummets and has inaccurate information, then it will matter.

Shield 2 would be amazing. Sadly a home theater PC usually has limitations such as lack of Dolby Vision support and limited audio codec support. Afaik Kodi is also more well rounded on Android than on Windows.

The original HTPC I built in 2009 still works. Runs Win 7 with Media Center. Basically it's my ripped DVD collection. I migrated to Fire TV + TV Recast but guess what: WMC was still a better DVR experience.

I don't see how fake HDR is a 'killer app'. I have never wished for old content to be HDR.

@@Chris-ih4hj Ah, gotcha! That's fair then.

In 10:29 they're comparing real HDR v/s RTX HDR running on 2 different monitor models - left is a curved Alienware and right looks like a flat MSI. Would have been a better, more apples-to-apples comparison if the monitor model was kept consistent so the only difference between the two would be the type of HDR used. The monitors could have different color reproduction capabilities, the curvature itself changes the viewing experience, and we're comparing native HDR v/s RTX HDR. Any or all of these characteristics could affect your qualitative judgement of the picture, so it is important to change only one parameter and keep everything else the same - in this case, keep the same monitor make & model.

I watched this on my home theater/gaming PC in my living room. I'm going to try it with some old movies later

I'm still not completely convinced that HDR isn't a "fake tech" You can get to something pretty close to HDR just by enhancing brightness and contrast, and I feel like the TV sets just don't go all the way they can on SDR content

I can say of all the display features they try to push HDR is by far the most noticeable change you can make. brightness and contrast can get you some of the benefit but no average tv/monitor can fake Full Array Local Dimming much less avoid color banding if it's not a native 10+bit .

the shot of the computeur was impressive

I think an ideal implementation of this tech would be to have it togglable for each piece of media, rather than a global setting, that way you can enable/disable it as desired depending on what your watching and how the regrading affect it.

Been using faux HDR on my BenQ Mobiuz monitor for a few years. It's not the greatest, but it sure as heck is convenient by being enabled with the push of a button. I pretty much play every game with it on, and I don't have to deal with support/Windows issues.
