  • SDR is Standard Dynamic Range. This is how most media is viewed and has been viewed for decades, typically in the Rec709 color space. 99% of consumer devices display in SDR.

    HDR is a newer technology that expands the dynamic range passed Rec709 color space. It requires an HDR capable screen to display HDR content and most content is not distributed in this format, although this has been changing in the last few years.

    The chart does show them downgrading the plans from 4K/UHD to HD though.








  • I can honestly say Ive never used x or twitter. I absolutely hate the format and it seems like a waste of life to scroll through a feed reading quick snippets of text.

    Twitter is like somebody yelling something from a megaphone, then a crowd of people screaming over them randomly.

    Discord is the next platform that needs to die. Online forums were perfect for what they did, then discord came along and now it’s a nightmare to comb through any type of community or support system for useful information. Again, people screaming into the void…
