zamundaaa.github.io/colormanag by @Zamundaaa is a really nice post about #HDR luminance on #wayland. The corollary is that we have a protocol where the distinction between SDR and HDR content does not exist. It all makes perfect sense to me theoretically, but I am greatly interested in seeing how it will fare in practice with end users.

Xaver’s blog · On brightness, and calibrating your displaysMany people are, understandably, confused about brightness levels in content creation and consumption - both for SDR and for HDR content. Even people that do content creation as their job sometimes get it really wrong.

I know nothing about #hdr, but thanks to #gnome48 I now have the ability to enable it for both my #workstation display (ASUS VP32UQ) and my #laptop (ThinkPad Z16 AMD).
I don't play games and use my computers for #music production, #graphic design, #video editing and so on.
So far I've noticed that with HDR turned on, everything looks a little more lifeless and brighter, maybe less contrasty. Is this the idea and does HDR make sense for my use case?
