North Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) What he said ^^^ I don't really watch TV shows much, and movies occasionally. I do consume a lot of Youtube and anime sometimes, and for me the difference is worth it. Also for documentaries on Netflix @The Panda Is this with regard to just content consumption? If yes then the 4K HDR version is the one you should be watching. And if this is because you're considering buying a new TV, 4K HDR 10-bit color is what you should look for. Hope this helps. In that case, do ask in the TV Decision Making thread Edited July 27, 2020 by Chirag2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, do ask in the TV Decision Making thread I have already ordered a 4K HDR monitor. I just wanted to know if those who actually own HDR monitors find the feature worthy since the general consensus among critics/reviewers seems to be that HDR in monitors is nothing but a gimmick. Thanks for letting me know though! I really appreciate it! Edited July 27, 2020 by The Panda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for letting me know though! I really appreciate it! Get hold of a Disney Pixar movie. Those have a wide color spectrum. Something like Tangled Frozen types. Really shines there. Watch in standard 1080p, and watch in 4K HDR. You'll see for yourself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 It depends on the quality of monitor. If you but cheap ones then HDR is not that impressive. My monitor's HDR is way better than my Samsung TV's HDR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrowed it down to LG 27UK650 and BenQ PD2700U and finally chose the latter as the former seemed to have too many quality control issues. The monitor should arrive tomorrow.

Me and @rAgHaV both have the former and there are no issues. The Amazon reviews confuse ips glow with backlight bleed. Most of them are dumbasses. Ips glow is common in ips panels.

Some ppl even replaced the monitor due to that issue I started gaming properly only now (post lockdown) for the first 1.5yrs with this I was primarily using it with Mac as 4k external display for Adobe CC and other productivity stuff. It's really the best 40k I've ever spent. Have never been so happy with any tv/monitor purchase in my life. And yeah HDR on/off makes a generation of difference in terms of the colors.

I found several threads on /r/monitors mentioning the same issue. So I thought it was something serious and went with the BenQ one instead.

The Panda Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Take a look at the comparison b/w the two monitors: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/0c007dad6 While the LG monitor has higher peak brightness, the BenQ monitor has higher static contrast. If I am not wrong, HDR benefits more from (higher) contrast than peak brightness. I don't think I took a huge risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Peak brightness is better for HDR. But both these monitors are below 1000 anyways so doesn't matter much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the LG 27UK650 model in Oct 18 and it will be the second time in 2 years I will be getting the panel replaced. Due to Corona situation I am delaying the replacement request. I am really disappointed after spending 34k on this monitor. At least the monitor has 3 years warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
