Might consider getting an HDR capable TV for gaming. Is HDR really that good? Or just another marketing feature, and not really necessary?
it's good but I can't say it's as good as DVD to Blu-ray quality jump. It helps in giving a more cinematic experience in the content you watch or even in video games. But is it a drastic change? IMO, I don't think it is. But since I'm using an OLED with HDR, might as well get on the hype train. hehe
I compared Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 1080p SDR vs the HDR version. I only noticed a change in colors. For SDR, it's more vivid and more saturated. For HDR, I noticed that the colors were toned down/looked more natural.
As for 1080p to 4k? It depends pa din sa quality ng content and gaano kagaling yung pagmaster sa 4k version. Sa Inception, I didn't notice much of a leap sa 1080p to the 4k version.
IMO, 4k HDR maganda sa mga superhero movies. I love it on all 3 Avengers, Thor, and Black Panther. Justice League...pwede na. Wonderwoman, mostly dark tones eh so can't appreciate it much. Sa Dunkirk pwede na HDR. Pero medjo subdued colors sa Dunkirk. Life of Pi, HDR stands out, IMO. Yung blu ray 1080p ko na sobrang ganda on my 1080p LED 3D TV, nagmukhang panget compared to 4k HDR Life of Pi.
Watching Avatar on blu-ray to a 4k tv, blurry yung datin. So hopefully magrelease na soon yung Avatar, LotR, etc ng 4k HDR versions. Should be a good upgrade.
I think, for you to be able to appreciate it, I suggest bring HDR content and its SDR version as well para talagang makita mo in person. Was I blown away? No. But I do enjoy the improvement kahit di ganun kalaki.
Is it necessary? I wouldn't say it is, sa opinion ko. Pero it really helps enhance the movie experience. So if you want to be immersed even more, I think it's a nice option to have.
