Do people really have issues with HDR? I calibrated my TV once when I bought it and it's been incredible since.
Don't ever mention HDR to a Linux user.
hdr on steam deck works better than on windows lmao
I mean, KDE 6 now has a basic implementation
Of course MPV supports it already... that man page though...
Don't ever mention Wimndows to me or my son again
I use Linux daily but honestly I don't game on it and I watch movies on my proper hdr10+ dolby display so HDR on Linux was never even a thought in my head.
There are people who have problems with HDR, mostly people with TVs that have no business trying to display HDR content but the manufacturer added the feature anyway because sales.
Nothing quite like seeing a "HDR 400" badge on a TV spec sheet
That shit ain't even HDR lol
Meanwhile I use a monitor with a max brightness of 250nits, and I still have it set to its absolute minimum.
I can't even imagine how just a short flash of 400 would feel to me
If you have the right TV, the right streaming box, and the right receiver (if you use one), HDR looks fine, but a lot of TVs either don't support HDR or have a really terrible HDR implementation. And then a lot of streaming services either have bad non-HDR video streams or just take the TV claiming HDR at face value and don't give you a way to turn it off.
I don't think it's fair to expect everyone to extensively research and buy high-end TVs just so they can (literally) see a movie or show.
Plex plus plex_debrid gang common w. I have it scrape for 1080p, 4k, and 4k hdr versions of content. Me n all my good time boys have options.
My monitor states it does HDR but the nits are like only the bare minimum for it to be labelled as having HDR that it's not worth using. My tv on the other hand supports hdr10+ and Dolby vision so actually does look worthwhile.
None of my displays support this kind of HDR so some games (mostly those with no way of turning it off) end up darker than they would if I had a display that supported it. Haven't had other media do this though.
