alt Hacker News> Display hardware has progressed
The continued popularity of non-HDR 1080p screens on laptops is a bleak reminder that most people would rather save a couple hundred bucks than buy HDR capable hardware.
HDR is great for TVs and a nice-to-have on phones (who mostly get it for free because OLEDs are the norm these days), but display technology only advances as much as its availability in low-cost devices.
Or maybe the advantage isn't that big for most uses (images with super bright highlights are a nice novelty but not fun to look at all the time) and people don't want to deal with the clusterfuck that is HDR software support.
