Was it my TV? Or my HDMI cable? Was the game or the console incompatible with the HDR standard? Was the HDR on my TV even on? Eventually, I’d turn HDR off, sparing myself the headache. And in the past, each video game had its own HDR settings, which if I’m being real, I fiddled with endlessly, only to find the image somehow looked worse. There are different HDR standards, like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision HDR. Some are significantly brighter than others and have dramatically superior color replication. It sounds simple enough, except not all HDR displays are created equal. Since HDR has become more common in mid- and even low-end HDTVs, more folks will be able to make use of the feature this console generation. It’s a hard thing to describe, honestly, but supposedly it’s an easy thing to see if you have the right TV. Basically, HDR increases the range of contrast and color on compatible televisions and monitors. Here’s a quick refresher on how HDR works, because surely I’m not alone in doubting its benefit. It felt like when I look at a Magic Eye, and everybody else sees a beautiful picture of a boat and I just see a bunch of fuzz. Until this month, I had lost faith in the value of HDR in video games.
