HDR video/images in the macOS/iOS browser have to be one of the most confusing UX in recent memory.
Why are people able to craft an image/video that bypasses my screen brightness and color shift settings?
If I wanted to see the media in full fidelity, I wouldn't have my screen dimmed with nightshift turned on in my dark bedroom.
It's not OP's fault. My mind is just blown every time I see this behavior.
- gloxkiqcza 1y agoI consider this to be a bug. I want to view HDR content with brightness differences scaled in a way that the maximum value barely, if at all, exceeds the set display brightness. The fact that it just goes full 1600 nits blast when you view a video from a sunny day is a terrible UX in most cases and it’s the reason why I have HDR turned off for video recording, even though I might miss it later. To make matters worse, it also applies to 3rd party views.

- eclipxe 1y agoNo I love this behavior. Makes the content really stand out and more enjoyable to view.

- hombre_fatal 1y agoYou might be saying that you'd prefer if all media were at full nits and color fidelity. But that's not what's being discussed here. The current implementation means that only the occasional image/video behaves that way, and only if it were crafted that way.
- bastawhiz 1y agoThis is what happens on my Pixel 9 Pro. I'll scroll through some HDR photos and have to turn down my brightness so I'm not blinded in bed. Then I have to turn it back up once I've scrolled past. It's maddening, I don't want to manually adjust brightness because someone took a picture outside.
