It's because trying to view SDR content on an HDR display doesn't work. It will look like garbage. You have to turn HDR on and off depending on what content you view.
- wlesieutre 3y agoHave you tried it on a Mac laptop? The OS will transparently boost the backlight brightness while shifting the white point of the non-HDR content down so that everything else on screen is completely unaffected. It's very different from the experience I've had in Windows where if you enable the HDR setting everything looks shitty and washed out.
- Toutouxc 3y agoOn Apple displays you don’t have to turn HDR on or off, it’s available all the time. SDR content is displayed as usual (exactly like everything looked 10 years ago) and HDR content can sit directly next to it and use whatever brightness headroom is available for extended dynamic range. It’s totally seamless and transparent, but the experience can make the user think that SDR content is getting darker as their eyes adjust to HDR.
