If you applied HDR-white to all the UI on your screen, it'd likely lose brightness, because most HDR displays have limits on sustained brightness that are far lower than the peak brightness they can achieve on a small portion of the screen. HDR video doesn't really have this problem because people are mastering their HDR video to be significantly darker than SDR[0]. I will say that it is really annoying to have an HDR video just be way brighter for no reason, and I kind of hate HDR for this and this alone. [0] This is also why streaming services have shows that are WAY TOO DAMNED DARK. Related: the people mastering the audio have also decided to make all the dialogue way too low because fuck people with hearing disabilities[1]. [1] An audio engineer was asked about this and he outright said he doesn't master for substandard audio setups. No I don't remember the source, it was from one of those articles that show up on the Firefox new tab page. Yes I am kind of reading into things and getting angry about it. |

It was Christopher Nolan. He said
"The only platform I’m interested in talking about is theatrical exhibition."
and
"“We made the decision a couple of films ago that we weren’t going to mix films for substandard theaters... We’re mixing for well-aligned, great theaters... At a certain point, you have to decide if you’ve made the best possible version of the film and you’re trying to account for inadequacies in presentation... That’s chasing the tail. It doesn’t work. I will say, with our sound mixes, we spent a lot of time and attention making sure that they work in as predictable a way possible."
