We all have seen those Blu-Ray or DVD's with Ultraviolet download on them. Well Recently early in 2019 Ultraviolet announced it was closing, and so I decided I was going to get all mine downloaded onto my laptop.
To do this I first had to download the Flixster video app and install that. And then I could see the films I had entered my YUV code to list them. But I found one that said it would only accept the UV code via iTunes.
I've not used iTunes since a few years back when I owned an iPhone, but for years now I've been using Android smartphones, since being a techie, the apple phone does not give me what I need.
I really wanted ALL of my films and I thought why not as I might get find some use in having this and so decided what the hell and proceeded to put iTunes onto my laptop.
I went into the software and entered the UV code for my Star Trek disc and now it on my computer. Now this is where it all began!!!
Whilst looking at the playing options inside the software's settings I noticed a HDR option!! Oh cool how excellent, and then clicked it.
HDR content offers better brightness and color capabilities compared to traditional content (sometimes called standard dynamic range [SDR] content).
I also went and put iTunes onto my main computer but when I tried to enable HDR it was not able to do so. Yes this is when I decided to get a newer All in one that would be able to have this option enabled.
On newer versions of Windows 10, you might have noticed the term Windows HD Color.
HDR content offers better brightness and color capabilities compared to traditional content (sometimes called standard dynamic range [SDR] content).
You’ll be able to play streaming high dynamic range (HDR) video when your Windows 10 device has a display that’s optimized for HDR video and you have Stream HDR video turned on in Windows HD Color settings.
To find out if a display is optimized for HDR video
To get the best HDR experience, use a device with a true HDR10 display.
For video, the best experience will be on a true HDR display. However, you can still play HDR content on many newer, non-HDR laptops as well.
