yes, after I thought about it, I remembered HDMI 1.4 does support 4K at 24- 30 fps .... but NOT with HDR on top of it.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
So I'm taking it that Switch in dock mode probably won't support HDR?

What? No. Of course not and you knew it!
HDR is not coming from Nintendo, it doesn't make the gameplay any better so..

I'm bumping this thread because I would like to know if there's been any talks about the new games like mario oddesy or yoshi having HDR support for the future, anyone knows?

Pretty it's been tested that the switch lcd screem has a really good colour range calibrating. Scoring extremely high scores by the reviewer.

HDR in it's most laments terms is basically a broader spectrum of colors able to be shown on screen. So instead of just orange and red let's say, your screen could show orange red and every shade in between for more true to life colors. Since everything isn't just orange or red. Things can also get much brighter and darker.
I take it you haven't owned a Nintendo console before.

Tegra X1 supports 4K and HDR, as does display port over USB C. Does the dock? At the most they could release a 4K dock at a later date.

Isnt HDR support technically possible? I seem to remember something from one of the leaks recently

right, I totally forgot xbox and ps4 vanilla got an hdr update,
I don't see why switch dock cant.
Anyone who plays rachet and clank or FFXV on pro in true HDR will flip, especially when you turn it on and off and see the difference.
Without hdr the games I mentioned above look like they have a rain cloud above the entire time.

I wouldn't say Switch is cutting technological corners at all. It's a very impressive device technically.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
What corners have they cut?
ps: switch outputs DeepColor (30-bit) to enabled TVs. It's another question if the dev APIs expose DeepColor render targets.
A standard TX1 has no problem outputting HDR.

The UI is 720p and you're asking for HDR :lol
But Nintendo's own games aren't and it's still a reasonable possibility that an Nvidia chipset gets HDR support?
It's not that crazy...

These two things have nothing to do with eachother.
that company also just built the most technologically advanced console handheld hybrid in history
To be fair, its the only one.

Thanks Nvidia.

Obviously but it just shows how little they care about using the available technology.
I hope it happens, but it's not going to happen.

Someone needs to make a presentation explaining what HDR is to Nintendo but use Pikmin somehow.
First show all the pikmin colours in standard range, then show them in HDR.
No-one cares about HDR.
I don't know, but some guy is getting awfully worked up about it.
Even if you consider it purely a handheld, it's quite impressive.
So we can thank AMD for all the hardware inside the PS4Pro and XBox One X, right? It's laughably naive to think MS, Nintendo, and Sony aren't considerably responsible for what their systems are.

Nintendo's pretty weird with hardware, I wouldn't expect much.
The Switch has the least customization of any console maybe ever. It's a bog standard tx1 with altered clock speeds.
No built in bluetooth audio or ethernet support are pretty big corners being cut. The latter's omission is magnified thanks to wifi issues that have followed Nintendo to the Switch.

Any USB to ethernet adapter works fine. And it has bluetooth audio support built into the hardware (based on the FCC filing), just not in the firmware at this point. It's pretty clear the the OS/firmware is quite barebones and has room for improvement.

This is not a joke post
although the HDR is simulated for standard RGB monitors - in reality this is how close
it looks when HDR is disabled.
I own the Samsung KS8000 and have a ps4 pro
turning hdr off makes Final Fantasy XV look this different.

Nintendo didn't even support HD until 2012. I don't see it happening in the near future.
The hardware supports it, so there's no reason why it shouldn't. However, whether or not developers want to take advantage of that is another thing entirely. Maybe if people ask for it, they'll at least give players the option to turn it on during docked mode.

Even if it did I wouldn't be surprised if it needs a new dock.

Where's Jeff Rigby when you need him
The major difference is hd requires a lot more processing power and major inchrease in development cost over sd. The Switch already supports hdr by default and it can be enabled by a firmware update.
