nobody gives a shit about hdr, it's a fucking fad and will eventually fuck off like 3d tv

>>108786010
Yeah, Linux is always lagging behind with that shit.
Was same with VRR.

>>108786050
LOL

>>108786010
Riddle me this, faggot:
Why should I care about HDR?
And no, spitting buzzwords about deeper colors and "true blacks" is not an answer. Shit looks good enough for me and majority of humanity on non-HDR screens.

But also - it's hilarious to see Waylandfags losing because their supposed killer feature is a nothingburger ultimately available thanks to KDE and not Wayland itself.

HDR is literally an upgrade to what is known as "gamma" or SDR
It's a better way of translating electrical signals to light with an EOTF system that better simulates how our eyes see and has a much higher brightness ceiling.

If you want to believe it's all schizo babble that's fine but HDR is the first new digital video standard since the 90s and has merits.

>>108786428
Cool, so you cannot explain me why I and billions of people should care besides "here bunch of buzzwords that I got from companies trying to sell me new TV hurr durr".

>>108786428
>buzzword
>expensive technology
>not widely adopted
>""improvement""
Yeah, yeah sure. It's so good that the majority of people don't own a device that has it nor give a fuck about it.
Funny that before HDR became so easy to talk about, that movie makers made good looking films just fine without their infinite dynamic range.
holy shit you sound like the snoy copers on /p/ fagging on about how their high dynamic range makes them a good photographer.

I'm going to guess KDE has it due to Valve's influence and their choice to use KDE in SteamOS, which they use to sell actual products intended for video games / media / desktop use and as such HDR is important to them and their actual customers.

The other DEs are typical open source projects I'd guess, they're freely available but the people working on them at most have an interest in solving their own needs and their "needs" end at running a web browser and being able to type text into their computer. They have no need for HDR, nor are they making or selling any product to any customer who needs HDR, so HDR is not a priority for them.

This is how open source software typically works, the people doing work for free are actually doing it for some personal motivation and that motivation is unlikely to have anything to do with HDR. Even those being paid by some corpo gigaenterprise (Red Hat or whoeverthefuck) don't have any interest beyond running a browser and typing text, because they do not make gaming or media focused products. These corpos mostly have an interest in Linux in terms of running it on cloud infrastructure crap.

It just looks better mmkay

Just because you don't understand the terms doesn't make it a buzzword.
These are ITU standards that most new displays support. The same people that defined the original SDR standards.

>>108786428
Right...we don't need it.

it largely depends on gpu support just like MPOs. AMD has had flawless HDR since Polaris.
Nvidia has been broken since RTX.
Intel is half and half it depends on the arch.

>>108786010
HDR is the movie fag equivalent of whatever retarded copium audio fags are on

>>108786658
Not really, it's actually pretty neat.
HDR sets the standard color profile from SRGB to BT2020, which is bigger than AdobeRGB, things like Oranges can finally be properly expressed and not just crushed.
But the neatest part is the HDR metadata, the GPU/output can tell the display the BRIGHTNESS of a pixel outside of the RGB values - ie. you might want something that is objectively white 1024/1024/1024, but is also dimly lit, so now you can set it to full white but set the luminance to 50nits and it'll be ~1/5th the normal paper white (267nits) or have a bright AF flashlight set to 1000nits and burn your fucking retina.

We had wide gamut already for years but it wasn't standardised and games often just defaulted back to SRGB, this is actually finally moving shit forward and it should of happened 20 years ago when we started getting wide gamut LCDs

>>108786354
It literally looks better
t. someone with an OLED HDR monitor that mogs the IPS screens it sits next to

HDR is stupid, it messes with your screen brightness

dolby vision it better

I use VRR on KDE, just werks.

As for HDR IDK never really needed it.

Lets just focus on making OLED with SRGB affordable, since you preferably want that for HDR, and even OLED/4K is still a long long reach away.

1440p IPS is just now getting affordable and OLED is still expensive.

>>108786010
HDR isn't even that good. Just wait for microled instead

GNOME kinda works but it doesn't have a sRGB saturation slider or whatever
HDR is pretty good (when it works), it's a shame most people here don't know what it is at all but don't refrain from speaking about it

>>108786070
>Yeah, Linux is always lagging behind with that shit.
KDE and macOS are the only systems where you can have HDR enabled desktop-wide. SDR content is broken in HDR mode on Windows 11.

Use case for HDR?

Use case for true HDR if I don't want to burn my retinas?
