I wish I could be like you but I like HDR too much.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was just thinking about this recently, there’s a lot of talk about HDR and nit brightness specs and such recently, but I must be the only one that finds current panels too eye-searingly bright. My current IPS monitor is set at 2% brightness and it’s just comfortable enough for daily use. Even my OLED TVs don’t have brightness set over 10%.

I mean yeah I have the same issue too (escept I use around 20-25% brightness on my OLED). But HDR is about more than just brightness. For me it's worth it for the extra colors—especially teal—which SDR displays struggle the most at reproducing accurately.

Interesting observation on the colours! To be honest I never got past the brightness when I turned it on. I couldn’t get past a couple of minutes before feeling like my eyes were being burned by the hellfires of Satan’s asshole.

Granted it might be the IPS panel (aw3821dw), so I would have to upgrade to an ultra wide 220ppi OLED to test out this HDR that everyone’s raving about when it becomes available … for science. RIP my wallet.

I was honestly a little disappointed in how HDR looked. Maybe I didn't calibrate or set my colors properly. Dunno.

What kind of panel technology? You really need an OLED to get a decent HDR image. My old VA TV looked so washed out in HDR, so I never used it.
