Here&#8217;s Everything You Need to Know"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest buzzwords in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Home-Electronics\/Home-Theater\/Televisions\">TV<\/a> world right now is HDR, or high dynamic range. Done right, it has the potential to greatly improve the image quality of a TV. Done incorrectly, it won\u2019t look any different than a standard dynamic range (SDR) TV. But what does it do exactly? In short, it provides brighter highlights and better colors, but that\u2019s not the whole story. Here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is HDR?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand high dynamic range, we need to talk about dynamic range in general. Dynamic range \u2014 as far as TVs are concerned \u2014 is how dark or light of an image a TV can produce. It\u2019s essentially the difference between shadows and highlights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A TV with a large dynamic range will have a high peak white \u201cbrightness,\u201d but it will also produce deep blacks for vivid nighttime scenes. This is also called the contrast ratio, though that term is no longer used when it comes to TVs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HDR displays and TVs have a greater dynamic range, which looks more lifelike compared to a TV with a lower dynamic range. By contrast, those TVs may look washed out or flat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More vivid colors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another feature, called Wide Color Gamut (WCG), typically comes along for the ride as part of the experience. This allows a TV to produce a wider range of more real-life colors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other \u2014 and equal \u2014 half of HDR is the content itself. An HDR TV needs special content to fully take advantage of the increased dynamic range and wider colors of its capability. Fortunately, most new 4K Ultra HD movies and TV shows will be in HDR. You can find compatible content everywhere from Netflix to Amazon Prime to 4K Blu-ray discs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two main formats: Dolby Vision and HDR10. Every device that\u2019s HDR can play HDR10 content as it is an open standard. Some TVs can also play Dolby Vision HDR content. In theory, Dolby Vision will look a little better than non-Dolby content, but you\u2019ll likely only notice the difference on high-end TVs. You may start to see another format pop up called HLG, or Hybrid Log Gamma, as 4K broadcasting rolls out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who needs HDR?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re just looking for an inexpensive new TV, don\u2019t worry too much about it. While many lower-priced models claim to be HDR-compatible, none have the peak brightness or WCG to take advantage of the format.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a mid to high-end LCD or OLED 4K TV and you want something with the ultimate in picture quality, all the best TVs in these price ranges are capable of the bright highlights and vibrant colors of HDR. Of course, some models look better than others. Just because a TV has HDR, that doesn&#8217;t mean it looks the same as every other TV with HDR. All cars have tires, but that doesn\u2019t make them all Ferraris.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What gear you need<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned, you\u2019ll need an HDR TV to enjoy the content. Fortunately, most new models are compatible. You\u2019ll also need a source with the same capabilities. Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/buyers-guide-tv-terms\/\">TVs<\/a> will have built-in apps that you can use, although not every TV has every streaming service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-71396 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LG-UT640S-43-Class-HDR-4K-Ultra-HD.jpg\" alt=\"LG UT640S 43 Class HDR 4K Ultra HD\" width=\"302\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LG-UT640S-43-Class-HDR-4K-Ultra-HD.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LG-UT640S-43-Class-HDR-4K-Ultra-HD-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LG-UT640S-43-Class-HDR-4K-Ultra-HD-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/LG-UT640S-43-Class-HDR-4K-Ultra-HD-256x256.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/lot43ut640sa.html\"><strong>LG UT640S 43&#8243; Class HDR 4K Ultra HD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>(<span class=\"dynamic-data\" data-type=\"price\" data-sku=\"LOT43UT640SA\"><\/span>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"tn-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/lot43ut640sa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, you can buy a streaming device like a Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or Chromecast.
