What is HDR technology and how does it work?

In short HDR, which in translation means High Dynamic Range, belongs to the technology that enables extended reproduction of details in both dark and light parts of the displayed scene. The dynamic range is then the difference between the lightest and darkest parts of the scene. If you watch such a scene in HDR, you will see all the details well and the image will be closer to what you would actually see if you really stood there.

In practice, HDR results in better scene contrast, significantly more redrawn color tones, and greater image depth. The scenes look more vivid and more in line with reality, because the eye can handle better contrasting scenes better than the optical instruments that originally shot the scene. In the case of HDR10, the scene is displayed in 10-bit colors, which means using up to 10 million shades of color.
