I started using MPV or VLC or Daum Potplayer to manually adjust the brightness and contrast of tv shows and movies I'm watching. I stopped valuing the "filmmaker's choice" when I saw the analysis of how dark that beach scene was in House of Dragons was. [1] It's not just that consumer equipment is differently calibrated from color grading equipment, that specific scene was graded to 1 nit brigtness. Hbo later tweeted that it will not be fixed and is absoultely intentional. [2] The offical recommended viewing conditions of HDR according to the ITU and Dolby is an ambient 5 nits. The artists aren't respecting or grading with consumer equipment in mind. I'm not getting an optimal viewing experience or even getting the artist's creative intent by trying to recreate the intended viewing settings. Dolby Vision still isn't completely supported when playing back a file on desktop. Certain DV profiles can be passed through to TVs that support it, but that's not possible for Blu-Ray Dolby Vision files. Neither the Xbox nor PS5 support Dolby Vision disk playback. Many playback solutions for playback of Dolby Vision from PC throw away the dynamic data defeating the point of caring about DV over HDR10. This is also ignoring how streaming changes colors can change due to compression, and some shows and movies are only available via streaming. My TV can detect ambient light, Dolby Vision IQ already exists, but in my experience fails too often. Some would argue DV IQ also moves away from filmmarker's intent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D83SXcguwBU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D83SXcguwBU https://twitter.com/HBOMaxHelp/status/1576793465010135040 https://twitter.com/HBOMaxHelp/status/1576793465010135040 https://www.trustedreviews.com/explainer/what-is-dolby-vision-iq-4097155 https://www.trustedreviews.com/explainer/what-is-dolby-visio...
