We have no interest in the latter but are already dealing with the former.

Question for production: will anybody make 1080p HDR content? Or by definition
all HDR content will only come out in 4K?

By the way Bert. The "sparkle" does not come from more detail. ItWhich is why I wrote in my original post, first sentence:
comes from increased dynamic range.
"That's the word: sparkle. Sparkle I think best describes what to expect from HDR
images, that's lacking in SDR video."
This is dynamic range, not the size of pixels.
The fact that HDR comes with the better 4K sets, and not with HD sets, isI don't think this is incidental. As I stated, it is largely driven by the
incidental. As you did notice, though, even cheaper SDR 4K sets have the
advantage of less visible pixels, up close. But that has nothing to do with the
sparkle.
display fabs. Sadly, most of what we are getting is more pixels, not HDR and
WCG. Almost all of the products being carried out the doors of the stores, are
LCD displays with LED backlighting. LCD struggles to deliver HDR, especially
with blacks. OLED is likely to become the preferred technology moving forward;
it remains to be seen what pixel densities will become standard, although the
trend is certainly toward more pixels.
What is more important is improving the quality of TV images delivered to all
of the HDTV sets in people's homes. This will happen in two ways:
1. Using HDR/WCG in production to maximize quality before re sampling to lower
resolutions with 8 bit samples for emission. HDR/WCG displays will up-sample as
they do now.
2. Creating HDR/WCG 10 bit emission streams at all popular resolutions
360/480/720/1080, to conserve emission bandwidth. In essence we will add new
choices when a TV or mobile device requests a video stream: SDR or HDR. lower
resolution HDR streams will be up-sampled at the device.
We probably won't see lower resolution HDR displays, but I expect we will see
1080P HDR displays. There are many LCD fabs that cannot produce 4K displays; I
expect that these fabs will be upgraded to produce less expensive HDR/WCG
products.
Time will tell...

P.S. This is the first message I have written on my new iPad Pro. Last night I
bought a Logitech keyboard case with illuminated keys that connects via the
keyboard connector on the iPad Pro. Gonna take some getting used to...
Still learning about the display capabilities. Finding high quality images is a
bit challenging.
