There's no way to demonstrate the difference without an actual HDR monitor. Let the poorfag cope commence.

fucking sluit, you'll pay for this.....
>>
hdr doesn't want to support linux so sdr it is
>>
>>731017238
I have a monitor that supports it, the porblem is that most games don't implement it right. There is no standard so it's a diceroll if it will look right.
>>
>>731016845
Why does the right look like when i play in sdr and sdr looks like the hdr?
>>
I mean it can be nice. I got an HDR monitor recently and Hitman and GTA V Enhanced so far wowed me the most, in other games it wasnt as noticeable. It's not really a big game changer. Poorfags can relax, because what you're really missing out on is just brighter and more vivid colors. Depending on your tastes it could just come off blinding and saturated.
>>
>>731017238
this, theres a lot of monitors with fake hdr
>>
>>731017761
Its the one thing that console exceed over pc, since they have a standard. I got pissed because we have cross platform games that have HDR support for console, not pc. Deep rock galactic is one of them. I refuse windows 11 so I dont have access to the RTX HDR.
>>
Well like 90% of monitors that have "HDR" have like 300nit brightness max so it's dim as shit as soon as you turn the HDR on, which makes everyone keep saying HDR is worthless. So just go without it.
No dev will actually implement it properly because so many stupid poorfags buy these $100 monitors and complain that their cheap chinese slop doesn't work.
>>
PC HDR is fucking dogshit
>>
>>731017238
you can replicate it in sdr with 99% accuracy
>>
>>731018259
Lol.
>>
hdr obviously, but most scenes lack the contrast to make hdr noticeable. anti-soul gas in particular destroys the effect, and thats ubiquitous nowadays.
>>
>>731018527
I had to use reshade and engine configs to make HDR look good in the oblivion remake, its disgusting that devs do this and make everything brown and washed out.
>>
>>731016845
Does Windows fuck hdr up? I can never get it to look right... But when I hook up a console it looks great.
>>
>>731019609
No, the issue is there's no standardization on the PC side for monitors like there is for TVs, so devs just lazily slap in whatever HDR setups they have in office and it doesn't work for most others.
>>
>>731017238
I have a OLED tv and HDR looks like absolute garbage in almost every single game that "supports" it
>>
Is there such a thing as an HDR 120HZ monitor that works for consoles and PCs? HDR and monitors aren't supposed to be a thing.
>>
so glad i never fell for the hdr meme
>>
>>731019680
Oh that makes sense
>>
>>731019891
Yeah.
And there's no reason it can't be a thing, most manufacturers just do cheap shit and cap out at 400nits which is so dim you can't actually see the color, and the 50 billion different bullshit "Certifications" fucked over actual HDR, because OLED had something called "hdr400 true black" but that's literally just OLED, so now every monitor can slap HDR on with 400-450nit brightness and it looks like ASS but "look look hdr400 that's really good" so it's a joke.
Look for monitors with at LEAST 600 nits, 800+ preferable. My current primary monitor is the AOC Q27G3XMN, 1000 nits, looks beautiful and not overly dim.
>>
>>731019891
"True" HDR is set at 1000 nits, my monitor can do 1000 nits and 144hz, however I learned that if I go beyond 98hz, it cannot support the bandwidth and they run some sort of algo to fake it at 8bit color.

Turning on HDR all the time on W10 makes most content look like total shit so you have to remember to turn on HDR before booting an HDR game and then turn it off afterward.
How is HDR in W11 for sdr content? Can you just leave the HDR toggle on? That's the only reason why I'd upgrade.

HDR is genuinely one of those things where you don't realize how much a difference it makes unless you are actually playing the game.

HDR is a meme because the gaming industry did not adopt it, you cannot find a single modern game that has actually good HDR implementation

I didn't read the thread but I got an UltraGear monitor and tried the HDR in AC6 and all it did was make things super bright. Boosters looked like a torch shining in my eyes. No thanks, I'm not interested in that shit but thanks for asking and reading.
>>
>>731022254
why not just get a black & white monitor, when you're not interested in seeing colors?
>>
>>731022095
Metro Exodus EE and Cyberpunk 2077. There are other but require some fiddling. I think Modern racing games/sims all have good HDR.
>>
HDR is more visually impressive than ray tracing imo
If you're thinking of getting a new graphics card but still have SDR get yourself a oled or miniled monitor

you need to calibrate HDR brightness tho...
>>
>>731016845
HDR (on a panel with full array local dimming) is a miracle when done right, almost indiscernible from real life at times
how often is it done right? about 5% of the time
>>
Luv me miniled
Might get another one since they're so cheap
>>
I think Revelations 2 is one of those games who look better in HDR.
>>
>>731016845
I'm using PumboAutoHDR and I don't know how to calibrate it properly. How is HDR supposed to look like? Vanilla KH 1.5 looks like washed out, gray shit when I use SDR on my OLED screen, Pumbo with some random ass settings pops out a lot more, blacks are more blacks and there's amazing colors and contrast in the game, although Sora sometimes looks like he has tanned skin in some worlds and the game is way more dark.
I don't know if I'm using the good settings, but it looks far better than SDR.

I got one and it needs HDR and local dimming enabled to look as good as an acer wled. but the old monitor was 24'' 1080p and the miniLED is 27'' 4k

Not only that. JPEG is limited to sRGB color space.

>How is HDR supposed to look like?

That's impossible to say because everyone has a different screen and tons of screens have fake HDR, but I guess the best example is that looking straight into a lamp should feel somewhat like looking into it IRL, it shouldn't hurt obviously but it should be a bit "yup that's bright"
>>
>>731025456
funny how i can see the HDR side without HDR enabled on my monitor
>>
Bros is there any promise of AI being developed to turn SDR to HDR and it just werks at the monitor/system level?
>>
>>731017997
This.
>>
HDR all day every day and doubly on weekends. There is a lot more to HDR than just "muh peak brightness" which makes it basically essential to digital visual mediums.
>>
>>731018089
If a game botches HDR on console it can't be fixed (see: RE2R for example) whereas PC players get the option to fix it through tools like renodx.
>>
>>731023516
Cyberpunk has broken black levels in HDR lmao.
>>
>>731026506
they can easily fix it, assuming it's actually broken, just like any other dev for any other game
>>
>>731026506
Werks on my machine. The OG metro exodus had some bad black crush though.
>>
>HDR requires either an oled or top tier miniLED to look good
>/v/ is poor thus declares said panels a meme
>thus by extension oled is a meme
Even more fun is trueblack400 is a higher tier of HDR according to vesa than HDR 1400, a lot of which boils down to the fact lcds cannot react fast enough.
>>
>>731026608
They could, but won't. Users have to.

HDR looks much nicer if you've got a screen which can show it properly.

>>731018089
RTX HDR isn't that great, it can look good but if you want to "add" HDR support to a game which doesn't have it you're much better off with RenoDX or some other injector.
>>
>>731026820
RTX HDR and AutoHDR are effectively just inverse tonemappers. Nice to have but really are just brightness boosters at heart.
>>
What vidya needs is more realism! HDR and light tracing are a must to have fun! Gaming will be saved once you buy the most expensive screen and GPU available!

is HDR the most meme technology to exist?
>>
>>731026939
Yes, that is exactly what they are. They're also not smart enough to differentiate between UI elements and the actual game for instance. If you use RTX HDR and get white text on the screen it boosts that shit all the way up. That's why I suggested to try using injectors first if they're available, though sometimes they are not.
>>

how come i can see the hdr image clearly on my sdr monitor
>>
>>731027053
Yes pablo.
>>
>>731027053
No, it's legit great when used properly. Problem is that it's almost never used properly because greedy assholes realized they could just say their shit had HDR support even when its fucking garbage
>>
>dude, just crank brightness to 100 lmao
>>
>>731016845
HDR isn't important for consoomers. Resolution and FPS are still the top priority. This might change in the upcoming years.
>>
>>731027684
Nobody needs more than 1366x768.
>>
>>731027053
hdr is just fucking cursed. its nice when it works but its a pain in the dick to set up and use. 99% of content hardly uses it, and the last 1 is split between shit that says it has it but its not actually hdr, hdr thats very poorly implimented, and hdr that actually werks.
>>
>>731027154
It's even worse. Not only can barely any displays actually use proper HDR. most games are mastered like fucking shit, so even if you did shill out thousands on a good display. It will still look terrible.
>>
>>731027010
a modern $100 monitor has perfect colour accuracy at 100% SRGB and 94% DCI-P3
>>
>>731025973
shhhhh let them believe.
>>
>>731016845
this seems like purely a matter of preference.

>>731028517
Exactly. That is why I only watch my movies and play my vidya in black and white.

heh, doesnt look that much better, ill stick to my 1050 Ti

Whenever I turn on HDR on my ROG OLED monitor it looks washed out like the left. While SDR looks vivid and vibrant like the right.
