Where can I find HDR support for displays and HDR content?

  • HDR on Monitors vs. HDR Photography
  • How can I enjoy true HDR videos and photos?
  • Which players and hosts can truly display HDR?
    • Does the High Dynamic Range effect on an HDR monitor equal to HDR photography?

    Although both terms encompass HDR, the essence of HDR photography on a high-end smartphone is different from the effect on an HDR monitor. HDR photography enhances picture quality by simultaneously shooting several photos with different exposure values (EV) and combining them into one photo with the largest EV. HDR monitors implement a new image standard which displays images by enhancing the brightness/darkness of signals and color range. HDR monitors can show details more clearly and vividly and achieve a more natural-looking image.

    How can I enjoy true HDR videos and gaming?

    An HDR display is your ticket to the HDR world, and the next step is to decide how to explore HDR content. There are several ways to enjoy supreme image quality on your HDR display:

    1. Rent or buy an HDR Blu-ray, HDR game or HDR streaming services (Internet connection that’s fast enough to stream high quality HDR content.)

    2. Devices (including monitors, players, and cables) that support high quality HDR content.

    Which players and hosts can truly display HDR?

    With more and more channels providing HDR content, the most frequently used and popular internet platforms are providing HDR content. The easiest ways to enjoy HDR content are:

    1. Shoot your own HDR videos and view the content via the HDMI, DP or USB Type-C port on the host or player.

    2. Many online videos, such as music videos or movies, are now available in HDR. Download them directly or play them via online streaming.

    3. Leading media sites and streaming services such as YouTube, Netflix, and Apple TV now provide HDR content.
