Yea thats possible. ALthough if you are actually incorrectly mapping HDR to SDR it REALLY looks like crap.

- turnsout 4y agoYeah, if they're doing it well (which I think they are, based on viewing Netflix on a laptop) it shouldn't look bad, but I could see how using the same tone & gamut mapping might make highlights and bright colors look similar across shows. But if they're not doing it well… We watch Apple TV+ shows on the Apple TV app on a MacBook Air, and it looks objectively too dark compared to our TV (OLED). I think the TV app is Catalyst, or at least shares a lot of code with iOS, and those devices have some HDR headroom. My theory is that app is just assuming the display is HDR, leading to ultra-dark SDR representation. It's kind of crazy, considering they own the whole stack, from silicon to the streaming service.
