Current situation with games, applications reminds me year 2000. Many people believed IIS is better as a server. It was because people were writing everything using Windows principles which were slowing things down on Linux. However, things done in the Linux way were at least 3x faster on the same hardware! Linux ate ISS for breakfast:

Corporations will finance what benefits them. They don't care how it affects the end user.

The reason is simple: sRGB/BT.709 was invented when CRTs were still the norm. Now with even budget LED screens supporting 99%-100% sRGB/BT.709 is this colourspace becoming a limitation for the colours new displays can deliver. HDR uses a larger colourspace (BT.2020), which sets the new standard and allows displays to show more colours than before.
You can get an ultrawide monitor with HDR10 and freesync for $180 now by the way.
Discover the 29-inch UltraWide FHD HDR Monitor that features AMD FreeSync™ and USB Type-C. Find reviews, specs, and more for 29WP60G-B.
But do not be mistaken. Not even the best monitors can currently fully display the BT.2020 colourspace. The best ones can do 100% sRGB/BT.7.09 and 100% P3, which is still not the full BT.2020 range of colours. But displays will eventually get there and HDR paves the way.

I'm a lot more interested in very deep colors (e.g. 10/12 bits per channel) than HDR. Color banding at 8bit is horrible to look at and I guess over 95% of currently sold PC (and laptop) monitors don't support anything above 8bit and lots of monitors don't even support ... 8bit natively. That's a catastrophe. Artem S. TashkinovLast edited by avis; 18 January 2023, 07:56 AM.
