In this week's podcast, Phil Jones and Phil Boyle discuss the challenges of accurately reproducing HDR (High Dynamic Range) on a projector. They explain that projectors struggle to display HDR content accurately due to their limited brightness range compared to flat panel displays.
They discuss the importance of contrast, native contrast, and color tracking in projectors for delivering good HDR performance. They also touch on the different types of tone mapping, such as static and dynamic, and the role of dynamic metadata in HDR formats like Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
They advise buyers to look for projectors with good native contrast, accurate color reproduction, and support for various HDR formats.
