If you want just one thing, then that's what full screen mode is for. MacOS is a windowed system and thankfully hasn't been dumbed down to the level of an iPad, so the way it handles things has to be considered in the context of other applications and other pieces of content being concurrently visible on the display. Web pages are a case in point - the overwhelming majority of web pages are in SDR mode, so a web page viewed alongside an HDR video with an HDR UI would be a really weird combination of ultra-bright window furniture, a dull, washed out web page, and a bright HDR video. You could try to tone-map the SDR content up to HDR, but that'd be fake-scaling the SDR content and technically therefore displaying it entirely inaccurately, with high potential for all sorts of unpleasant visible artefacts. The SDR video is going to look awful, since its peak white will be a fraction of that in the HDR content and the UI elements around it, so you'd have to crank brightness up until the UI was eye-searingly bright just so your SDR video brightness level was good enough. Suppose you had your UI so that it was all up at HDR brightness matching your content above, but now you also display some SDR content. That latter point brings us to SDR video. If the chosen white is brighter than the max brightness of the content, then the content would look weirdly faded out / dark. If the chosen white is less than the max brightness of a piece of content, it'd look the same as your photo above, albeit perhaps less extreme. If the macOS UI was in HDR, so that the white was "full intensity HDR white", one question would be ".and what intensity should that be?", because HDR has different levels of what it considers to be maximum. TLDR: just don't get buy Apple Studio display if you care at all about any of this.Īn addition to the thoughts others have already voiced: You make these things better with better underlying tech in the displays - 120hz, self emitting diodes or close to it, quantum dot+miniLED/OLED for better colour reproduction at sustained brightness (usually not all colours are displayed at say 400 nits) meaning more life-like colors for any content/colour space, etc. You won't make it better by making things brighter & non-standard color (you have 16 mil colors already) for UI elements that are single colour like buttons, any text, even gradients. You can't just take SDR, often sRGB even, content and blow it up, it looks horrid.Įven adapting HDR image to show properly on SDR displays (tone mapping) doesn't go without issues.Īnd really you don't need more than 500/600 nit displays and P3 colour gamut for viewing websites and UI elements. Literally only the content that will benefit from HDR (has the actual format/information in it to be useful) will display in HDR. I'll take this implementation over how Windows handles HDR.
