Typical gaming monitors (and most conventional PC displays) offer a much more limited color space and traditional levels of brightness. The wide color gamuts provided by the new generation of HDTVs offers color reproduction previously available in only the most expensive professional-grade monitors. The simulated video game effect offered no enhancement to colors as virtually all displays were incapable of reproducing the additional colors. The setting attempts to mimic the extreme contrast between brightly lit areas and darker scenes in the shadows by artificially blowing out the brightness of the display to mimic the effect our eyes experience when leaving a dark room to walk outside into the bright sun. It first debuted in October of 2005 with the Half-Life 2: Lost Coast level. PC gamers may be familiar with a simulation of this effect in games. HDR-capable displays produce bright, high-contrast images with incredibly vibrant colors. This feature is known as high dynamic range, or HDR for short. Why Bother With HDR?Īlong with the race to expand 4K adoption, LCD manufacturers began offering panels capable of displaying wider color gamuts and shining much brighter than previous offerings. The sharp textures and excellent lightning of Mirror's Edge 2 produces a lifelike image when rendered in 4K. After moving on from the 3DTV fad, TV manufacturers pushed hard towards increasing the industry standard resolution to 4K (3820x2160), providing a sharp picture that featured four times as many pixels as common 1080p displays. Panel manufacturers continued to evolve and improve production to the point where budget-class sets could rival or beat the performance of flagship offerings from years past. In the 5 years since I acquired my older TCL set, LCD TVs experienced advancements in line with any other high-tech device. The 43S405 was featured in a guide I wrote about affordable 4K TVs for desktop usage back in July. Near the end of July 2017 I began the journey into 4K with the purchase of the TCL 43S405. I researched high-speed 27-inch gaming monitors and the extremely expensive ultrawides, but I ended up in familiar territory. Using a 1080p panel of that size was not ideal for many types of computing tasks, but it shined when it came to displaying games and the extra size really helped immersion. The Samsung began to fail around a week after its warranty expired and I replaced it with a bargain bin VA panel TCL HDTV. I first began using an LCD TV in 2011 when I replaced a Dell U2711 monitor that I hated gaming on with a 40-inch Samsung. After upgrading most of the components in my PC earlier this year, I convinced myself that my 5-year-old display was keeping me from enjoying my time spent at the computer to the fullest.
