TV manufactures admitted that all panels from 2014 on can show 30-40 percent more dynamic range. Now they can unlock their TVs with HDR content. If my HDR TV looks awesome I can imagine a computer monitor should explode with dynamic range as well.

Link please? With scientific tests?
I doubt an 8 bit panel (like most SDR TV) without a good FRC algorithm will have magically more dynamic range.

Im done helping out htpc users. This is accurate. A properly calibrated tv in hdr is boring. Added saturation in post and pumped up sells hdr to uneducated public.

So a scientific method for calibrating is boring and is for uneducated public. Nice one...

How on earth is a thread about HDR so emotional and hostile...? o____o

Distort video by adjusting the brightness/contrast/saturation of the source material and call the revolutionary concept as XDR. That's what this is about. I can't agree with that at all. I even have problems with madshi's madVR algorithm for HDR processing. HDR10 implementation was conceptualized as a function of the display.

Didn't look a lot like the ,,work" from doom9 forum? Same SDR magically converted to HDR on SDR TV.
We will see more like this, on h264 there were also many altered encoded files which claims were better than original. But then there were many bad bluray masters, I think that now somehow we will see lower quality variance from original masters.

Because some habitually capitalize at the expense of sheeple and anyone who presents alternative avenues, especially free ones, are the enemy and therefore chastised.

wesk05 and soli were very decent in responses, you were not. Who is sheeple? Maybe if I don't take ,,shop mode" from my TV as a HDR loolalike, I am a sheeple?
Of course, General1 is welcome to tell his opinion but not all will have to agree with him.
