Only if your TV supports it
Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
Well HDR is good but maybe check IF your TV support IT first.

So what sort of TV do we need? I have a 55inch Samsung smart tv, will this do. Also is the pro not worth getting if your tv isn't a 4K tv? |
You need a HDR tv that supports wide color gamut at a minimum to notice the difference. So if you go here, there is a list of TVs that do. If you can't find your tv, just search the model number and look at the review. If the review says that the TV supports wide color gamut with HDR, then you will notice the difference.

We don't know exactly how HDR is supported on ps4/slim. You do need an actual output to support it so you might need ps4 pro to take full advantage. We will see when the update comes out.

| SvennoJ said: I wonder how. Did they find a way to patch the HDMI port to be 2.0a compatible? Afaik HDR is restricted to 4K streams over HDMI, meaning the ps4 will have to upscale to 4K as well. Or did they find some magic way to add HDR to 1080p for Sony tvs. Or do they simply mean 10 bit 1080p output (deep color) Guess we'll find out next week. |
Yea I don't get this at all.
HDR needs a hdmi 2.0 port and that is not firmware upgradable. It's a hardware thing.
Only 4k Tv's support HDR i'm fairly certain as well, so how does this benefit 1080p players?

In a nutshell:
- Current tv content and games adhere to rec.709 (8 bit color) representing about 34% of human color vision in a narrow brightness range.
- LCD/LED tvs have been able to show more and brighter colors for a while now, however the content wasn't there, hence vibrant mode usually looks like ass.
- HDR is part of a wider color gamut, DCI P3 color space, which can show up to 46% of human color vision, at 4 times the color resolution (10 bit color)
- HDR stands for high dynamic range, meaning better definition in dark scenes and specular highlights, bright skies and sun reflections look more realistic instead of a simple whiteout. More details in the darkest and brightest areas.
Less black crush, less whiteout, less color banding.
Hmmmmm need to check if my tv supports HDR
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I expect the release of HDR alongside the 4.0 firmware update.
3DS, Wii, PSP, Vita, PS2, PS3, PS4 & Steam.
My TV doesn't support it unfortunately. Only bought it last year too
Looks like I'll have to enjoy this shit next gen
Bizarre announcement considering the HDMI is not 4k compatible nor is the BDP.
I feel people are getting excited for no reason. Most won't benefit from what HDR is supposed to be and the only people who will benefit are the ones who watch Daredevil and a few other HDR shows to be streamed at the end of the year.
People without HDR compatible sets, don't worry. It's just another gimmick.
