The 7thGen Intel Core processor platforms (formerly code-named Kaby Lake) is the first Intel integrated graphics platform to support HDR. Intel first launched support for HDR in the form of Ultra HD Blu-ray playback in 2016 on Kaby Lake platforms on Windows 10. Since that time, Intel and Microsoft have worked together to support OS-native HDR on Intel graphics with the Windows 10 Fall Creator’s Update. The LG gram 17'' Ultra-Lightweight Laptop with 10th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor w/Intel Iris® Plus®, Model # 17Z90N-R.AAS9U1 uses the Intel® Core™ i7-1065G7 Processor and specifically for Ultra-HD Blu-ray playback, the system BIOS must be properly configured to support Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX). It is possible that the system provider turned off SGX by default, in which case the user would have to manually turn it on in the BIOS settings. The Intel Management Engine (ME) Firmware version is required in order to achieve necessary HW-DRM support and HDCP2.2 link protection required for premium HDR video content.It is typically included in the System BIOS owned by the system manufacturer. An Intel MEI Driver must be installed so that software can communicate with the ME FW. Specific application and internet browsers (like: Microsoft*Edge) are required toplay HDR content. HDR video files come for different sources. In order to receive HDR content from certain streaming providers such as Netflix, you must have an appropriate plan/account type. True HDR playback is not yet available on the built-in displays of laptops and tablets, although a partial HDR experience known as Extended Dynamic Range (EDR) is available on the built-in displays of a small number of devices today. OS-native HDR support is an opt-in feature on Windows 10 Fall Creator’s Update (RS3). To enable HDR, go to ‘Display Settings’ and then slide on the “HDR and advanced color” setting. as soon as you activate this switch, everything on the screen will immediately appear darker, and by comparison, desaturated or washed out. This is because the vast majority of applications and content are SDR while your system is now in HDR mode. In order for SDR and HDR content to appear at the same time, the SDR content must be shown darker than the HDR. You will also find that if the color gamut of the display is wider than sRGB, transition to HDR mode will make the desktop appear washed out, compared to SDR mode where the sRGB colors looked oversaturated due to color mapping (stretching sRGB to panel’s wide color gamut). This approach allows HDR content to be properly viewed, with highlights far brighter than the SDR content and also with greater detail in darker scenes. also if you need to stream HDR contents with applications like Netflix and YouTube, make sure the “Stream HDR Video” setting is on in the ‘Video playback’ settings page. Note that most of the HDR content available is compressed in the HEVC codec format. Starting with RS3, the HEVC Video Extension is required to play content encoded using HEVC. This extension is provided by device manufacturers and is automatically installed on entitled systems. If it is present on your device, it will be listed in the OS Settings app under “Apps & features.” If this extension is not present, your device is not capable of HEVC playback. For Ultra HD Blu-ray, the usage. requires an UltraHD BluRay optical drive and a supported UHD-BD player application. Another security feature required for UHD-Bluray is SGX . There are a few PC designs that ship with Blu-ray UHD optical drives. External Blu-ray UHD are available to purchase. Currently, the only supported and certified UHD-BD player applications is Cyberlink PowerDVD17. CyberLink's Ultra HD Blu-ray Advisor can check if your platform supports Ultra HD Blu-ray content playback. You can download the advisor. More supported software application for this usage is expected soon. HDR Games and Content Creation Applications are not validated yet...^IFV
