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.
  • 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.
  • @4RILDIGITAL
    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.

    And we need an Alex "It should be fine..." Tshirt from the store!
  • @bbertram2
    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!
  • @Noaaaaaaaaaah
    Loved the theoretical part in the middle of the video. Great explanation - thanks for that! :)
  • @sjargo11
    After the last techlinked video I’m just looking for people in the background hiding in their green screen suit😂
  • @jayjay17mo
    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
  • 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!
  • @aaronguo5128
    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.
  • @Werdna12345
    14:25 I don’t get seizures but am grateful the ltt team does the flashing lights warning so well with audio cues
  • @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.
  • @priuxls
    Thanks for uploading this in HDR and not SDR. Especially for us people who already use auto HDR, so that we can actually see the difference👏👏
  • @timcote6143
    thanks linus and ltt i didnt even no about this feature until this vid poped up keep up the great work guys
