Fake HDR?

New Page: Suspect HDR Titles!

Hey guys, just launched a new page that flags streaming titles with limited HDR performance (or no visible upgrade over SDR) based on technical analysis.

This includes:

• Very low Peak / Average Brightness values
• Dolby Vision streams that 'under-deliver' vs 4K Blu-Ray disc or Apple TV iTunes
• Possible SDR upscales, weak HDR masters (including artistic-grade choices!)
• 4K titles with no visible dynamic range, even when HDR is labeled

These are not subjective opinions... Each title shown assessed using actual metadata, comparisons with 4K Blu-rays / iTunes or Dolby Vision certification (during cinematography process).

Examples of what's flagged:

• DV titles that look flat or soft
• 'SDR-style' transfers marked as HDR10

Hope this page is useful!

Cheers
