    HDR is just a scam. It’s essentially automated brightness and contrast controls that is terribly done. I’ve seen HDR on brand new displays running HDR-capable everything and it just looks like someone can’t figure out how to set their monitor up correctly. It’s a buzzword created for crap technology that makes people want to spend more on essentially the same trash.

    And as for scaling, look up FSR.

    Windows is 100% obsolete and anyone who disagrees is just looking for excuses.

      Brightness? True. Contrast controls? It seems you are confusing software HDR, which compresses HDR to SDR, and hardware HDR.

      Hardware HDR is fancy word to say burning you eyes harder.

      When you represent image as 3d vector field of brightnesses, it IS brightness control terribly done, but our eyes don’t care.

        The point is it’s just poorly done automated adjustment of what should be done manually on your monitor, and it’s a laughable overpriced scam meant to take money out of the pockets of people who fall for tech buzzwords.
