Well, that's understandable, however comments like this are really discouraging: "Proper HDR support for monitors is years away. Some budget trash with HDR will be released, but they won't come close to matching the HDR standard and will have tons of issues."

There are monitors with 10 bit color depth, what exactly are you hoping to get beyond that?

  10 bit is not the same as HDR and vice versa - http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3822463 http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3822463

    I think this article (from 2005!) is still quite good introduction to HDR: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2005/10/04/brightside_hdr_edr/1 http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2005/10/04/brightside_hdr_e... Your link is now bit outdated in the regard that these days there are plenty of consumer HDR standards/names out there. HDR10 and Dolby Vision are the two main competing standards, and we have marketing terms like "Ultra HD Premium" or "HDR Compatible". https://www.cta.tech/News/News-Releases/Press-Releases/2015-Press-Releases/CEA-Defines-%E2%80%98HDR-Compatible%E2%80%99-Displays.aspx https://www.cta.tech/News/News-Releases/Press-Releases/2015-... http://www.whathifi.com/advice/ultra-hd-premium-what-are-specs-which-tvs-support-it http://www.whathifi.com/advice/ultra-hd-premium-what-are-spe... I think NCX is being bit overly negative (in his characteristic style) in his predictions. Sure, there will be cheap crap released, but considering that almost all major manufacturers are pushing this tech heavily on TV screens it can't be that long until it trickles down to monitors too. Of course you can plug your PC right now to one of those fancy new HDR TVs, I'm not sure though if you can get HDR actually working. I guess that would be mostly a software issue?

    I didn't say it was. None of that explains what HDR as it relates to monitors means technically. Everything uses the term, but we already have numbers for bit depth of the signal and contrast ratios of the monitor. So if it isn't just more contrast then what does it actually mean? In images it means the image has values stored above what can be displayed.
