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.
