Does Your TV Have HDR Technology?
Your TV is capable of displaying in a 4K resolution, and you may have already tried it out with content on the likes of YouTube or Netflix if your TV has smart functionality, too. Having seen what 4K is capable of in this media, you’re ready to dive into the world of 4K gaming. But are you prepared for HDR?
While having an HDR capable TV isn’t a huge deal, it will help to make colors pop a little more. Essentially, HDR technology allows for your TV to display a far wider range of colors and contrast. To put this into context, the latest home consoles from Sony and Microsoft run on an 8-bit color process and are capable of displaying 16 million colors. In comparison, HDR technology runs on a 10-bit process and can display 1 billion colors. That means you’re getting a much greater range of shades of all different kinds of colors, making the image on your screen more realistic. While HDR is also coming to the standard PS4s, combining this with 4K is going to be the best way to experience games on your PS4, and that can only be done on the Pro.
