Not exactly - you need an HDR Mastering display to see HDR content at full dynamic range. There are essentially no high volume consumer-level devices, with the exception of maybe Apple's XDR lineup (MBP, iPad, iPhone, Pro Display) with the capability of displaying non-windowed HDR content at full brightness.
Everything else relies on tone mapping, even the latest 2022 OLED & QDOLED TVs.
- suzumer 4y agoEven HDR mastering monitors can only reach 2000 to 4000 nits [1], whereas PQ gamma goes up to 10000 nits. This is why most hdr streams contain metadata containing mastering display peak luminance. [1] https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/dp-v3120 https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/dp-v3120
- CharlesW 4y agoGood info, thanks! Can you elaborate on why you qualified this with "non-windowed"?
