I Need a Home Theater PC... NOW! - NVIDIA RTX HDR

NVIDIA's latest feature allows you to watch SDR content in HDR, like old movies and shows that never got remastered. But upmapping isn't always easy, so have they gotten it right? Come check out RTX Video HDR and see for yourself.

Watching this video on SDR monitor is like being a blind person and reading in Braille about how beautiful something is

[blackraen]

Having to master and grade this footage must be such a 'meta' experience. Props to the editors. Nightmare fuel.

And we need an Alex "It should be fine..." Tshirt from the store!

[RishabhDesairf]

Hi LTT, please never stop producing in HDR. This video looks so beautiful. I genuinely thought you upgraded your tech or made a big internal decision or something, before realising that this is one of the few HDR videos that LTT has done.

[bbertram]

Just got a HDR display and remembered RTX HDR for video and I tried crunchyroll...oh baby! Now I need this on my main TV upstairs...Fire TV be gone!

[RILDIGITAL]

The waiting game for content to catch up with the latest technology can certainly be frustrating. It's good to see that Nvidia is making strides in this facet. That aside, I'm also excited to see what Shield Pro 2 will bring to the table in the future.

[sjargo]

After the last techlinked video I’m just looking for people in the background hiding in their green screen suit😂

[cobble]

So TIL that when youtube plays an HDR video (at least on my phone, an s21), it dulls and brightens everything else on the screen

[jayjaymo]

Watching this on three different displays with three different panels was so nice I was able to tell hdr content vs sdr when comparing the three

[PookDaWook]

I've really been liking the RTX video super resolution too. Very impressive with low bitrate stuff and the Youtubers who still only upload in 1080p

[NithinBalakrishnanIsOnline]

Oh boy, can't wait to purchase an RTX 4090 for my

HOME THEATER

RenoDX kind of does this now for games but using proper methods of upmapping and the results are pretty much perfect across over a hundred games, most of which never had any HDR support to begin with.

[matthewjalovick]

Guys, I love the fact that you’re uploading in HDR more… BUT the color grading looks so grey and muted with everyone’s skin. The Nvidia HDR versus segment actually looked better than your own color grading :/ please put more reds/yellows and vibrancy into Linus’s skin. He looks like a pale corpse 🤷🏻‍♂️ and before anyone suggests it my TV can hit 1600 nits and has very accurate color representation.

14:25 I don’t get seizures but am grateful the ltt team does the flashing lights warning so well with audio cues

[GlowPuppy]

I have been so happy with nvidia video and game HDR conversion, as well as video super resolution. Looks great on most content, and feels like content actually fills out the gamut of my QDLCD and reduces streaming blocking so much. YouTube and anime have never looked so good!

[aaronguo]

Unlike most HDR vids on YouTube which drag nearly every pixel to a blaring white just to show that they ar HDR, LTT's HDR is actully well graded. They actually know to keep the diffuse white (e.g. the towels) under SDR level and only push specular white to HDR level. Some movie studios don't even have this kind of understanding. Well done.

[betterchapter]

me watching this SDR video on my non-HDR monitor: aaah yesss, contrast

[chris_]

19:45 let's see if this theory holds up since the switch 2 just release a couple of days ago

[GhilliesuitupGaming]

Finished a build in that case last month and holy crap, I love it.

[dukeofgigabytes]

I can definitely vouch for PTM 7950. I’ve got one on my 3080 and it’s amazing, great consistent thermals with zero pump out. I’ll be using it on anything bare die from now on. Happy that LTT carries it now.
