The abbreviation HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, the name of a video technology intended to expand the range of content that supports it. To the beholder’s eye, the outcome is a rise in the number of apparent colors as the shades, including whites and blacks, increase, to the benefit of higher contrast and, as a result, images with more true-to-life hues.

A TV that does not accept HDR signals, on the other hand, displays SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) material. Having an HDR TV, however, does not imply that you have everything you need to watch images with more natural colors. In reality, whether it’s a TV channel, a recorded video, a Blu-Ray player, or a game console, the visual source must also support this technology.
