SDR and HDR video taken by Xperia XZ2 series/Xperia XZ3 SDR HDR When shooting HDR video in a low dynamic range scene such as a cloudy landscape or a fluorescent lamp-lit office, you may experience that the video looks darker than in SDR on your device's screen. This is expected, becau...
What is HDR? HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, and allows a wider range of brightness (dynamic range), from darkest to brightest, to be displayed compared to existing SDR (Standard Dynamic Range). As shown in the images below, when content is displayed in SDR, shadows tend to have ...
HDR explained. The termdynamic rangedescribes the ratio between the brightest and darkest parts of an image.HDR, or high dynamic range, can describe the cameras or techniques you can use to capture a greater dynamic range than SDR (standard dynamic range, a non-HDR format) camera sensors can...
To fully support HDR, content such as games must have an option in the settings, or you can choose to use Auto-HDR, which is supported by Windows 11. Auto HDR allows even SDR games to look more vivid compared to running them in SDR. Depending on your personal preference, you can alway...
HDR content on Windows offers better brightness and color capabilities compared to traditional content (sometimes called standard dynamic range [SDR] content). Traditional content typically shows details in a bright part of a scene or a darker part of a scene, but not in both parts at the...

HDR displays can show a larger color depth and more dynamic range than non-HDR displays. So essentially, HDR lets you see details in the dark shadows and highlights in one scene. With standard dynamic range (SDR), either one is usually blown out or crushed, so you cannot see the detail...
Does HDR make a difference? Yes! HDR introduces a wider range of colours and brightness levels compared to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) by telling the TV exactly which colours to display at the correct level of brightness. SDR by contrast only has a limited range of brightness and colours so...
If your display and your gaming platform are both HDR-capable, they can interpret the HDR metadata from your content to show you a much wider gamut of colors and significantly improved contrast. (If your display is only capable of SDR, you'll simply see a normal SDR image.) ...
Brighter whites and darker blacks More vivid and lifelike colors Better details in very bright or very dark areas of an image HDR is often used in conjunction with 4K resolution, but they are separate technologies. A display can be 4K without HDR, or HDR without being 4K (though this is ...
