well that's what i mean, if you're watching it in SDR there's no problem because it's specifically a problem with their HDR

Ah I getcha. And no, apparently Firefox still does not support HDR so seems like you’re right (lucky me then)

Watching that it sounds like the bigger problem is consumers not turning off auto-dimming features on their TVs. I have little sympathy for that.

on lg oleds you cant normally turn that off without a special service remote or using some software like colorcontrol

It happened again with House of the Dragon. There was a nighttime beach scene and some people couldn't see poo poo.

This guy is cool and goes into it (11 minutes).

Thank you so much for that, it was very informative. That's just what I've been experiencing.

Around the 6 minute mark, he mentions that UK streaming and some other countries get this effect - I'm betting that includes Australia. But from comments in this thread, I'm wondering if the US streams content in the same way, given how few other people here have had issues.

Why it doesn't apply when I torrent it, is still a mystery, but one I don't care too much about, as long as I can see what's going on.


edit: okay he goes on to say that UK viewers can use a VPN to stream from the US to avoid this issue, so there're all my questions answered.

So, my options are to either spend $30,000 on a new reference monitor grade TV, or download US versions of shows which are too dark.


In the UK (and I'm guessing Australia) streaming is done using HLG standard. In the US, they use HDR10.




Why they do this? Who the gently caress knows. But, at least now I know that they do.
