HDR
Gaming Technology: The Background
According to
recent article by industry buying source, techradar.com, HDR technology is
"...one of the best advancements in video game visuals in recent years,
making for richer scenes than just 4K resolution alone can deliver,” and we at
Video & Audio center couldn’t possibly agree more that's why we carry the latest gaming monitors!
HDR stands for
High Dynamic Range, and is a format that offers a far greater luminescence
range and vastly increased color space—allowing for much greater depth of field
and realism. It is considered by industry experts to be a much greater
technological leap forward in terms of the on-screen visual representation than
4K alone, and combining the two technology offers a users a gaming experience
that truly represents the state-of-the-art in today’s gaming experience.
In fact,
according to Alex Meer, senior editor at rockpapershotgun.com, “HDR is, for my
money, a far more exciting display tech for games than is 4K, whose mammoth
pixel counts often don’t truly come into their own unless you’re using an
absurdly large TV. I know others – those who demand the sharpest possible image
– will disagree, but I’ve found 4K simply pleasant rather than revelatory.”
“HDR though – if
all the stars align – boosts the sense of depth and presence to games (and
films) in a way there a mere pixel count cannot,” Meer continued. “It’s a
tricky thing to describe, but alas even trickier to demonstrate unless you
already have an HDR screen to hand, and if you do you’re probably the one
boring everyone who doesn’t know what ‘peak brightness’ means to tears. What
HDR does, in a nutshell for the uninitiated, is expand the range of brightness,
contrast and color displayed, bringing it more in line with what the human eye
can perceive. Brighter whites, darker blacks, more shades of color and, all
told, you get a more true-to-life picture…”
But not all HDR
TVs, game consoles, or even HDR games are created equally, in fact, different
HDR TVs perform differently and could easily give one gamer a competitive
advantage over another; for example the different performance rates of HDR
screens in a racing game could give one driver the ability to clearly see which
direction to turn before someone gaming on a different screen could even see
it. With competitive gaming about to take off on several TV networks as a
spectator sport, that competitive edge is something both Xbox and PlayStation
are working to eliminate with the formation of the HDR Gaming Interest Group
(HGIG), which looks to improve the HDR experience for gamers across platforms
and hardware by setting industry standards and raising awareness.
How
HDR & QLED Changes The Way You Game
Samsung is one
of the companies that has emerged as a leader in developing monitors and TVs
that are plug-and-play ready to deliver a far more immersive gaming experience
with their new 4K HDR QLED technology.
Has this ever
happened to you? You’re playing a game with your friends, but all of a sudden
you notice your screen is starting to lag. You’re also too close to the screen,
again, because you can’t see anything in the darkness. In gaming, technology
makes all the difference, so it may be time to level up. Samsung’s QLED TV
helps you dive into a fresh new experience. From hardware to software, here’s
how your next TV will keep you on your toes.
Clear, vivid images so you don’t miss friend or
foe
Disappear into
the graphics of your favorite FPS game with truer images that immerse you in the
action. With QLED TV and its HDR1500 technology, you can expect a range of
lifelike color and contrast, so you can get crisp, clear details even in the
dark shadows. But it’s not just awesome color. You’ll see the game in its
entirety on the large, slim-bezeled 4K HDR screen as you pursue your virtual
opponents. And vivid color and details on your QLED TV mean you won’t overlook
anything—or more importantly, anyone.
A TV that keeps up with the game
The sharp, fluid
action of your QLED TV’s 4K HDR screen helps bring out the best of your gaming
abilities. To make sure your eyes can catch subtle, obscured movement, QLED TV’s low millisecond input lag comes to the rescue. Then when you’re ready to
flex your reflexes, QLED TV’s ultra-fast motion rate reveals just how smooth
the action can be, without sacrificing finesse.* With the precise
timing necessary to come out on top, QLED TV creates a seamless transition into
the world of your favorite game.
A convenient connection
An easy way to
connect your consoles can enhance your overall gaming experience. The One
Connect Box is a clean, straightforward way to hook your consoles up to your
Smart QLED TV. Your QLED TV uses Auto Detection to recognize connected
consoles, so simply connect your consoles to the One Connect Box and you’re
good to go.† Once the consoles are connected, easily control your
multiple devices with One Remote Control and quickly get to gaming with HDR.‡
Even without a console, the fun doesn’t stop
There’s more to
your QLED TV than playing your go-to console games. One look into Smart Hub
will show you thousands of games available for streaming on SteamLink. Through
SteamLink you can connect with and play against players from all over the
world, all from the comfort of your home. Whether console or online, sit back
and dominate on the same QLED TV
Enveloping you in a whole new experience
When you’re
ready for an adventure it’s time to game on a QLED TV. Bringing together 4K,
HDR, and QLED, the screen immerses you in its deep contrast, sharp detail, and
seamless connectivity. You can grab that lightning-fast ball, explore hidden
worlds, and take down bad guys with your buddies. So for quality gear to take
your gaming to the next level, use a TV that’s prepped for battle.
