HDR means a few things: 1) It accepts HDR information in the video stream. HDR10 or Dobly Vision. 2) It can display deep blacks and bright whites at the same time with high contrast ratio. 3 *) It SHOULD be able to display 10 bit color information. Some TV's accept 10 bit color (required for HDR) and only display 8 bit color which is the standard for HD TV. 8 bits mean that the red channel has 8 bits, blue has 8 bits and green has 8 bits. So each actual color on the screen is made up of 24 bits total. In 10 bit color, that range is extended so that color is made from 30 bits total. The math works out like this: 8 bit = 2^24 = 16,777,216 colors 10 bit = 2 ^30 = 1,073,741,824 colors
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Search on CNET for a good overview but basically it's a new standard of 4K. Like 4K+ for lack of a better term, that provides a richer picture through better contrast and brightness manipulation. Content has to be recorded in it and there is starting to be more available over your typical streaming services. Netflix recently updated a lot of content and detects which standard your set supports. This Sammy supports HDR1000. The competing standard is from Dolby. Sets have to have Dolbys proprietary chip on board to handle that standard. Sony and Samsung chose HDR1000 to back since it is more open source and they feel content providers/studios will be more willing to use it as a result. Visio sets have the Dolby chip and can handle both standards. Not a big deal though as streamers offer content in both standards.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.High-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI) is a high dynamic range (HDR) technique used in imaging and photography to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than is possible with standard digital imaging or photographic techniques.
