High Dynamic Range (HDR)
HDR enables the handling of brightness information of a wide dynamic range on your Android TV™ or Google TV™ compared to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) signals used in normal broadcasts. This reproduces shades in bright areas that tend to have blown-out highlights and tones in dark areas that tend to lose. It allows the reproduction of images with depth and three-dimensional effects that make it feel as if you were seeing them with your own eyes.
Note: XBR X800C, X810C, X830C series, and 2K models released in 2015 do not support HDR.

Hybrid Log-gamma (HLG)
HLG is a "hybrid" format that enables the output of HDR images similar to HDR10 and Dolby Vision™ format. It can also express pictures with well-balanced brightness even on TVs in SDR.
HDR10
An HDR technology standard that's used with Ultra HD Blu-ray players.
Dolby Vision
One of the HDR technology standards developed by Dolby. It brings scenes to life with striking highlights, deeper darks, and vibrant colors. Dolby Vision is an HDR solution that creates an immersive, engaging cinematic experience in your home. Watch the
