I’ve uploaded over a hundred unlisted HDR videos to test every setting and variation I could possibly think of, and I’ve been vigorously comparing my HDR videos on every phone, tablet, TV, and PC-monitor. In this tutorial I'm sharing what I've learned in this 5+ year journey!

You are the goat of blender man

Fascinating. I learn so much from these videos!
-
I remember watching your HDR compilation a while back, even back then i was stunned on how the colours were so accurate and life like.
-
the only youtuber I look forward to uploading right now, appreciate it
-
By GOD! THANK YOU for MAKING THIS! I had been banging my head against a wall for months trying to figure this out!

Watching this video on the M1 Macbook Pro's display. The colors and the dynamic range look so vivid and real. Agree with you that the quality of the HDR content is may be not a huge leap in the perceived image quality, but the feeling that you get from an HDR video can't be faked with an SDR one. HDR looks definitely more life like.

All your experience with HDR in 10 mins. And you share it for everyone🙌🏻🙌🏻

6:08 YouTube Shorts does display in HDR. To verify, set your M1 Display to HDR video, and it's very easy to see which ones are HDR. Also, right-click on a short > Stats for nerds, and you'll see the Color info to verify HDR status (as it doesn't display a HDR tag, like it does for longform video).
