Sup friends, I’ve searched online without finding an answer. On my HP Pavilion 22bw monitor, there’s a setting toggle labeled “Dynamic Contrast Ratio”. Is this a unique HP feature? I don’t think it means my monitor supports HDR, does it? That would be neat, but I assume it doesn’t. If not HDR, what exactly does this setting do? Thanks!

hi been trying to differentiate the two here is the difference,HDR represents an advanced technology that provides a more lifelike and vivid viewing experience. On the other hand, DCR offers a straightforward method to enhance contrast, though it may lack accuracy at times and could impact color accuracy.

Most TVs include Dynamic Contrast, which is a mechanism that adjusts the display’s brightness based on what is being seen in order to improve color contrast. If you have a scene with a lot of dark hues, the display reduces brightness to make shadows and other details appear less washed out and gray. If you have a bright scene with a lot of light colors or whites, the brightness scales up to make things look more vibrant, and it’s less visible if the darker colors appear washed out.
HDR is the moniker given to what is effectively the implementation of 10 bit or more color depth on televisions, frequently in conjunction with other emerging technology such as 4K.
Without going too scientific, it’s just the ability to produce a wider spectrum of hue or brightness.
