  • HDR on Monitors vs. HDR Photography
  • How can I enjoy true HDR videos and photos?
  • Which players and hosts can truly display HDR?
    • Does the High Dynamic Range effect on an HDR monitor equal to HDR photography?

    Although both terms encompass HDR, the essence of HDR photography on a high-end smartphone is different from the effect on an HDR monitor. HDR photography enhances picture quality by simultaneously shooting several photos with different exposure values (EV) and combining them into one photo with the largest EV. HDR monitors implement a new image standard which displays images by enhancing the brightness/darkness of signals and color range. HDR monitors can show details more clearly and vividly and achieve a more natural-looking image.
