There is progress - indeed light at the end of the tunnel. But still work to do on what options to present to users.
What I have found is there is no such thing as ‘correct’ HDR-SDR conversion (otherwise, we wouldn’t need HDR10+ and Dolby, would we?) Also the curve we have in the 4.9 kernel is actually difficult to improve on for the test clips I’ve been using on a 100-nit screen.
If you have a Vero, what is your experience with the current implementation, and on what display?
