HDR is a photo technology that, when used properly, can provide visual enjoyment by adding more detail to the light and dark areas of a photo.

Likewise, HDR can be used in TV displays to select the best display for you. TV HDR extends the contrast and color palette of your TV to provide a more realistic and natural-looking image than HD TV.

What is HDR?
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. In short, it is the range of light and dark tones in a picture. The human eye has a very high dynamic range - that's why we can see detail in shadows and highlights. A TV with HDR mode means it offers a higher dynamic display range, which means it can show more detail in both light and dark. HDR does provide a great deal of depth to the picture and makes the subject matter stand out. Highlights are nicely rendered in HDR without sacrificing subject matter.
