No, HDR can’t make your monitor brighter than it is. But it can take full advantage of the brightness and contrast of modern displays in a way SDR cannot. In almost every case HDR looks better than SDR but brighter and/or more contrasty displays take the most advantage.
In a more technical sense, SDR content is mastered with a peak brightness of 100 nits in mind. HDR is mastered for a peak brightness of 1000 nits, sometimes 2000 nits and the resulting improved contrast.
If you don’t watch movies in HDR on a modern TV, you’re not taking full advantage of its capabilities.
No? It’s better. HDR just means that there are more color values for each channel. On something like an OLED, that’s more important since the range between white and black is larger in terms of brightness, so to get good color resolution you need more color data.
Is HDR useless on OLED?
HDR shines the most on OLED. Pun not intended. 😅
So HDR make picture brighter? I thought it make color more vibrant that’s why I thought it’s useless on OLED XD

It’s brightest on qled 😂

OLED is practically contingent on HDR colour space for optimal experience. You wouldn’t want to limit yourself to SDR on that type of display.
