I can't say I'm looking forward to the extra cost but the tech sounds wonderful...I don't plan to worry about it until win10 supports it though.

Supposed to be late this year for Insiders and 2017 for general public.  I can't say that it will be that big of a deal until I actually see it.  I'm not a big fan of HDR in general, but some things do look good.  Most stuff I have seen looks overexposed.

What do you mean? The One S already has HDR enabled.

You seen the new tech or screenshots or what?  I mean, showing HDR properly on an SDR monitor is basically impossible so taking pictures of it for the web is kinda pointless.

This is not the HDR of the mid 00s, this is proper HDR supported by 10/12 bit per channel monitors, instead of HDR output being downsampled for 8 bit monitors with tonemapping and eye adaption algorithms. Also you mean oversaturated, not overexposed.

That's not strictly true, you can still see the advantages of higher dynamic range photographically - in which SDR screens look "washed out".

I am sure HDR is truly wonderful for those who have a HDR compatible HD/UHDTV (with compatible console + game). However, for me personally the cost is prohibitive. I'd have to buy a new TV (and in the case of my X1, a new console too..my PS4 Phat is allegedly getting a HDR patch) plus it only works on 2 of my games. So I am perfectly happy to stick with my "washed out" SDR HDTV, while it may not be anywhere near as good as what HDR can do it is enough for me for now :happy:

The site is safe. It's forbes.com where they do greet new visitors with a full screen ad :) 

Oh I know t is safe, I just do not like sites that try to make me disable stuff. Forbes is a magazine that is trying to survive but will eventually fail as will all of the printed forms of newspaper. Nothing there I had to see. I do all of my gaming on my PC.

I guess I wouldn't know, but the examples I saw on that review look pretty awful.

Most comparisons seem to miss the point and focus exclusively on the basic gamut benefits of 10-bit vs 8-bit colour, which while is certainly also significant - the biggest benefit is the ability to represent extremes of dark and light (Hence high dynamic range) in a single scene without having to "wash out" the blacks or have dim/discoloured whites.

you need a 10-bit screen to view HDR images. viewing examples on your 8-bit panel wont work.

I don't believe those are actual HDR images though.

 

(Also my panel is 6 bit IPS, embarrassingly enough.  It'll be quite the jump to go to HDR.)

The PS4 patch already came out, it was FW 4.0 which came out about a month ago.

Having seen the advantages of Forza Horizon 3 running on an HDR TV, this is something I'm actually excited to buy in too, eventually.

 

I'm the sort of guy than largely doesn't care for the 30 vs 60fps argument, and I'm not that turned on by 4k over 1080, but god damn if HDR doesn't look awesome. Colours are amazing, gradient banding is gone, contrast is bang on, in FH3 particularly, the skies and cars look stunning.

 

I wont be buying in to this for a while due to running my own business, having a family to support etc etc, but hopefully it will start to drop in price, and when it does i'm going to be all over it.

Another one just for the hell of it.

Considering how much stuff I'd have to replace to dig into it I'm trying to not get too excited.

Yeah, it's not just the amount of stuff, but also the cost of the stuff too. When you'd have to consider ~$1000+ at least on a HDR TV to support it. Standard monitor sized screens don't really appear to exist at the moment.

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
