 Hardware wise you'll need a HDR capable display obviously, and
you'll need an Intel Geminilake GPU. Older Intel platforms don't
support the HDR infoframe, so the display wouldn't know what to do
with the data you're feeding it.

RE: Intel Gemini Lake - piotrasd - 2018-03-16

Yes, but Kodi 18 is translating HDR colors to "SD", colors look good and not washed up anymore.

I'm still not sure if it will be equal in colors with the "original SD version". This seems the next big confusion in the HTPC era. Original 4K BDs ara all HDR, so it must be converted previously (re-encoded), or "on-the -fly" by the HTPC/software to SDR. So the quality and originality of the colors (that affects the whole PQ generally) will be altered posteriorly and artificially. But both still ain't exactly the "original" SDR, as there is on the "stock" FHD SDR BD sources. 
Till I won't be convinced an assured by the conversion quality and won't have a HDR capable TV and both HTPC, i will stick to the FHD SDR versions for most of the time.

What do you mean by "convinced"? Just test it and compare.

We have discussed about that link back in January. And I already pointed out there that for HDR support it is still is a long way to go for Linux users. Right now the infrastructure for HDR support is missing both in the Linux kernel and in userspace. This means you won't get HDR support with Kodi on Linux anytime soon. But at least we now know that Gemini Lake will be HDR-capable, as it is also confirmed on the Intel forums now (finally):

https://communities.intel.com/thread/123634

So what you'll need for proper HDR support with Gemini Lake is (sadly) Windows 10 1709 or newer and Kodi DSPlayer with MadVR. Official Kodi unfortunately won't get you native HDR support yet and as it was pointed out earlier 18.x isn't going to change that (but at least Leia should be able to convert HDR to SDR).
