    Is HDR and HDR10 the same?
    lezlie
    over 1 year ago
    HDR10 is referred to as "generic" HDR, which is a slightly derogatory term, but HDR10 really refers to the baseline specifications for HDR content. HDR10 is a 10-bit video stream, over 1 billion colours, and if you have HDR-compatible devices, it will support HDR10.
