Am I missing something? The innovation is to ... dim LEDs so that full brightness is... more than 100%... https://youtu.be/4xgx4k83zzc https://youtu.be/4xgx4k8

  You can dim the whole OS expect the video being played. This can’t be done anywhere else at this point. That video can have a very bright sky, for instance. You can have a bright sky and a blinding text box or neither in other OSs. It’s also a very bright display in its own right, with 1600 nits vs the 300-400 of a regular one. And 1,000,000:1 contrast as well.

  HDR specifies a brightness. Apple is playing HDR videos at the proper brightness when the rest of the OS might be turned down. https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/08/03/what-hdr-hdr10-and-displayhdr-are-and-what-they-mean-to-apple-users https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/08/03/what-hdr-hdr10-an... That plus P3 gamut means a video playing on a display is closer to what a filmmaker intended. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCI-P3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCI-P3 What's cool is: 1) 4-year old Macs have become HDR laptops and 2) the implementation is subtle- you get full brightness in the HDR video without having the rest of the UI blast to full brightness.
