alt Hacker NewsI'm with you on depth of field, but I don't understand why you think HDR reduces the fidelity of a game.
If you have a good display (eg an OLED) then the brights are brighter and simultaneously there is more detail in the blacks. Why do you think that is worse than SDR?

The “HDR” here is in the sense of “tone mapping to SDR”. Should also be said that even “H” DR displays only have a stop or two of more range, still much less than in a real-world high-contrast scenes

HDR in games would frequently mean clipping highlights and adding bloom. Prior the "HDR" exposure looked rather flat.
