Apart from the fact that technically it qualifies as HDR вЂ“ it exceeds SDR вЂ“ in DisneyвЂ™s defense theyвЂ™re not emphasizing the HDR aspect in their marketing. вЂњBut then they shouldnвЂ™t call it HDR,вЂќ some will argue. Some more colorful than other, but obviously that can't be used as a measure of quality. HDR is not just about вЂњmore vivid colorsвЂќ, you see?ДЄlso, movies donвЂ™t have to use the most saturated red, greens or blues to qualify as a color movies. Oh and by the way, it looks stunning in 4K with Dolby Vision HDR.

Even when screened on a color TV (or an Ultra HD one), we donвЂ™t consider it a вЂfake color movieвЂ™. People did not buy a color TV to watch black & white programs, but decades later some black & white movies are still being shot because over time, after color TV had become the norm, weвЂ™ve come to appreciate the artistic merit of black & white films. HDR is not unlike other video and audio innovations. But вЂfake HDRвЂ™ versus вЂreal HDRвЂ™ is a wrong way to frame this distinction. Of course, as noted above, consumers donвЂ™t buy an HDR TV to see something that looks a lot like SDR. The only line that can be drawn objectively is SDRвЂ™s 100 nits.

Will we look at 1,000-nit movies then as вЂfakeвЂ™ HDR? LetвЂ™s hope we wonвЂ™t. It's a wider range of luminance, so deeper blacks and brighter highlights, especially specular highlights вЂ“ light reflecting off shiny objects.ДЄnother question is where to draw the line? We may think of 1,000 nits as bright now but in a few years 10,000 nits may be achievable. Image credit: Disney+ / HDTVtest The issues as stakeTo begin, letвЂ™s please get one common, deep-rooted misunderstanding out of the way: that HDR is about overall brighter pictures. Is that right? The creators beg to disagree.ДЇalse-color 'HDR heatmap' image of The Mandalorian showing the luminance levels of all picture elements. This latter category Vincent calls вЂњfake HDRвЂќ.

Some of these such as The Matrix have a high luminance level that peaks at over 1,000 nits while others such as most of the Star Wars movies and Blade Runner only get to about 200 nits.

HeвЂ™s been evaluating The Mandalorian, Star Wars and Mulan on Disney+ and Mad Max: Fury Road, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Blade Runner 2049, The Matrix, The Greatest Showman, Wonder Woman, Alita: Battle Angel as well as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on Ultra HD Blu-ray. Lately, he вЂ“ together with Adam Fairclough вЂ“ has produced a string of videos where he checks how bright HDR movies get in terms of nits. Some movies will be more suited for that than others.ДЇake HDR? Vincent Teoh of HDTVTest nowadays runs a YouTube channel with lots of videos about UHD TVs, display technologies, and UHD movies. They may want to impress their friends, wow their relatives or simply enjoy the new possibilities theyвЂ™ve got and justify the purchase.

Naturally and understandably, a lot of people who buy an HDR TV want HDR content to show off the capabilities of their new set. ItвЂ™s also fair to state that while HDR is quickly gaining acceptance in Hollywood movies and productions of streaming platforms, itвЂ™s virtually nowhere yet in broadcast TV. ItвЂ™s fair to state objectively that HDR is common in all TVs sold currently and is making inroads in the installed base of TV sets at a predictable rate, given the stable replacement cycle of TVs. If yes, youвЂ™ll probably agree that HDR is still pretty new and mostly unknown to the mass consumer. If youвЂ™re reading this you probably have some idea what HDR is, what it means.
