Just for fun though when I hooked it up, I tried it out to see whether I want to use it later my feelings remain mixed, though it does give a noticeable “pep” to my picture with an increased contrast ratio, which is nice in bright sunlight where previously the limited dynamic range of a standard monitor meant things would be either too bright or too dark. So I ended up going with the LG 34GP83A-B, which met the size/resolution/specs I wanted and I didn’t worry about it having only the lower end of defined HDR compatibility (HDR400 level). But if it’s possible, I like the idea of brighter brights and darker darks, and being able to make out more details when there’s a very high contrast scene. I’m currently using the NVIDIA capture overlay provided via the GeForce Now app, but would be happy to use other programs if they work well and successfully capture good-looking images and videos while in HDR mode that can be posted on social media and YouTube, without requiring that the viewer have an HDR monitor to see them as looking generally good.Īgain, if that’s something that’s impossible – that’d be very useful information for me, as it would let me know whether I should skip HDR entirely and get a non-HDR monitor.

If I cannot take good-looking screenshots and videos while in HDR mode on an HDR monitor, then I will skip HDR entirely. Note that I take a LOT of screenshots, so screenshots and video captures that look good are absolutely essential.

My GPU is an RTX 2070 Super, and I can use either DisplayPort or HDMI cables as appropriate for the monitor. What are the best brands to go for for hardware, in terms of brightness and color reproduction in HDR mode? I’m looking for something at 4K resolution, in the 27" to 32" range, and will use it primarily during daytime in a room that gets indirect sunlight filtered through blinds. I’m looking for advice on using HDR from people who are happy with their HDR experience – all of the posts I’ve found about HDR on this forum are people complaining it doesn’t work, or that they don’t like how it looks and asking how to turn it off. One of my current monitors (two 24" Dell 4K monitors, non-HDR) has developed a column of bad pixels, so I’m planning to replace it and shuffle things so a new monitor sits in the ideal position for use on Flight Simulator.
