Wait... There's no HDR support? Is that true?
HDR is more important than high frame rates in many games, assuming you have a good monitor that supports it. Seriously, it's amazing and extremely underrated.
The meme is kinda outdated. You can get HDR since KDE Plasma 6
Do game support it? Last I heard it didn't work on any games
Valve did some work to support it in steam deck, it's going to work its way upstream hopefully.
So it's the answer "no" right now?
Probably depends on how much effort you want to put into it. Probably works in some distros with certain repos, but won't work out of the box everywhere.
It works in Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 for me. Haven't tried anything else.
I think games running through proton and wine support it.
So it feels like these are all extra layers. I haven't used Wine in years, but it was very frustrating the last time I tried it.
By comparison (don't crucify the messenger), Windows supports it by default. This is one of the many reasons why I still game on Windows. In general, games just work. You click install and then play and you're up and running in just a few minutes.
...I'll see myself out.
Running games through Proton is as simple as clicking install and then play on Steam. You might need to enable Steam Play or such but I haven't had setup or config troubles with games in years now
Which came out less than a year ago and is the first desktop to support it.
Barely anybody has a good HDR monitor tho
Yeah there are like 5 monitors with full array local dimming, most being $500+ except for that one AOC. And OLEDs are still $700+ and have burn-in after a year of desktop use.
I mean, I don't have to say there are more than five, right? We all know this is hyperbole?
I just typed it into Amazon and the cheapest one is $290. It doesn't have full array dimming, but neither does the one use. The one I use looks incredible compared to non-hdr.
Yes it's an exaggeration but it's not far off. The one for $290 is the aforementioned AOC.
This isn't a perfect list but pcpartpicker only has 15 monitors with HDR1000 or higher with one being a duplicate so it's actually 14. If you remove the HDR filters there's 773 monitors.
That means only 14 out of 773 monitors support HDR properly. And that doesn't even mean they're good, just that they support it.
And oops I should have specified 27 inches or under, that is my bad. 27 inches is what I was shopping for recently. Personally I actually prefer 24 inches but they pretty much stopped making good 24 inch ones.
You'd be surprised
I accidentally got one because I needed a good one for creative work. When I turned this on... Holy shit guys, it's insane.
I have an HDR TV that is garbage, too. But my monitor using HDR makes games look absolutely beautiful. This was 5 years ago, too... I bet they get so much better now.
TVs do.
Come back in a year or two
Or alternatively run SteamOS
