However, in order to see content in HDR, the content needs to be created for HDR technology. Just like with your Blu-ray player or HD TV, an old DVD will not suddenly have a better picture quality with the newer technology. Luckily, with the popularity of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon, you’ll be able to get instant HDR-ready content directly to your TV.

Ready to make the investment in an HDR-compatible TV and start watching HDR content now?

Below are the best HDR TVs that are currently available:

LG OLEDB6P
This is arguably one of the best HDR-compatible TVs. It offers HDR10 and Dolby Vision, which is the best version of HDR available. The B6 model is especially great for films, TV, and gaming. However, it is a major investment: the 55-inch version is around $2,500, and the 65-inch is around $5,000.

Vizio P65-C1
In comparison to the previous model mentioned, this is practically a steal at under $2,000 for a 65-inch TV. It includes HDR10 and Dolby Vision. As an added bonus, this TV also comes with an Android tablet to use as a remote, so that you have better control over your apps and your TV’s features. In terms of price and all that’s included, this is definitely the best HDR-compatible TV available now.

Samsung KS9500
This model is available in 55-inch, 65-inch, and 78-inch versions. The 55-inch model starts at around $2,000. It supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, which means that this is one of the best models available for the price. However, this model has a curved screen, so it might not be the best model to invest in if you prefer flat screens.

Sony XBR-X930D
You can buy this model in a 55-inch version for about $1,700 and a 65-inch version for about $2,300. Unlike the other models mentioned, this model only offers HDR10 (which may or may not be a concern for you). However, other features of this model are a thin and sleek TV design, an updated version of the classic remote design (no need to charge a tablet remote!), and Google’s Android TV interface.

HDR for Android

HDR is the range of light and dark elements that exist within an image, continually taking Android photography to the next level. With HDR, images become more saturated, greatly enhanced, and gain a richness in color that can make even the most simple scene look otherworldly. It can also appear way too overdone if the HDR is used incorrectly, or with the wrong type of image.

HDR methods require three different shots of the same subject in three different tones (underexposed, normally exposed, and overexposed) which are then merged together to form one ultra enhanced image.

Is it possible to get an HDR effect with your Android camera phone? You bet’cha! Grab your Android smartphone, and look to see if HDR is available in the settings. It may be found under shooting mode, settings, or camera scenes, depending on the make of your phone. It may also be termed “Rich Tone,” as it is in Samsung models.

However, not all camera phones offer this function. If your smartphone does not, you can easily snag the same setting by downloading one of the many camera apps that contain this feature.

Using HDR Mode

HDR is best for unbalanced landscapes, like when the sun is making your subject too dark. It’s also a great way to bring out a drab sky. Portraits with an overly bright background can benefit from a little HDR action, smoothing out the exposure so features, and colors become bold. Really, many low-level light issues could take advantage of HDR.

If, however, you are taking a shot where the colors count, like with a sunrise, or a bird or cat in the garden, you may want to turn off the HDR function so you can let the true colors shine through.
