TV expert STOP the FOMO (165,000 subscribers) noted that the situation is no better in Hollywood. In recent blockbusters like F1, \"Jurassic World: Dominion,\" and \"Superman,\" HDR is barely used. Brightness does not exceed 200–300 nits, although modern screens are capable of more. In \"Superman,\" even lasers and explosions do not reach 100 nits, which makes HDR virtually meaningless.
According to STOP the FOMO, \"we have all been deceived — the race for TV brightness is over.\" The expert admitted that he is ceasing to consider HDR in reviews because filmmakers are simply ignoring the potential of modern screens.
For viewers, this means one thing: if you watch movies in a dark room, there is no point in overpaying for ultra-bright panels. It is better to get a larger TV than to chase the number of nits.
I thought HDR needed time. But after ten years, the films are only getting darker. We believed in the hype, which turned out to be a dummy. HDR has simply become an excuse for a pointless war between TV manufacturers for brightness.
