Indeed. This, plus of course power issues, is why I doubt you will

What rubbish.

Wow. Again Craig doesn't get it. Please take another look at Mark's video on
HDR, Craig. Pay attention to what Mark says EVEN about darkened theaters.

But we can get close enough under controlled ambient light conditions.

Proclaims Craig, as if mobile devices have that luxury. Point to a credible
source that explains how smartphones and tablets display HDR, and don't get
confused with descriptions of dynamic range reduction (aka "HDR mode")!

Thanks for agreeing with my analysis. You don"t need 4K source to take
full advantage of 4K displays.

I must have missed where, in "your analysis," you indicated that all the arcane
arguments are moot. You didn't seem to grasp that 4K's prices have dropped to
where buying HD sets makes no sense, hence to where they will disappear from
store shelves. And worse:

Although you go on at great lengths explaining why 4K is not a big improvement
over HD, in home environments, you seem to miss completely that any potential
for HDR would be just as wasted, in mobile appliances.
