Do I want the color used when staring into the sun in a HDR game to be the background color of notepad? Surely HDR adds headroom “above” normal white rather than just dividing the space between #000 and #fff?
I thought HDR screens actually contained brighter leds to create effects like extremely bright areas in movies and games, and not only 10 bits of resolution but normal brightness?
In software this isn’t any different obviously, but feels like a kind of gamma correction for choosing where on the output brightness scale “normal white” is?
- akvadrako 6y agoThere is usually headroom above SDR white for HDR highlights, which is what people usually want. The common scRGB colorspace, often used on windows for games, defines #FFF = 1,1,1 as 200 nits. But it uses floats instead of integers so you can go much higher. You can also go below black = #000.
