Use SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) and HDR (High Dynamic Range)

    Understanding SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) and HDR (High Dynamic Range) is key for optimizing visuals. SDR enhances character visibility and reduces eye strain, making it great for competitive gaming. HDR offers vibrant, high-contrast visuals, perfect for immersive experiences in games, movies, and other tasks. This guide covers the specific picture modes for SDR and HDR, including special modes developed with Fnatic for the best gaming experience.

    What's an SDR signal?

    SDR stands for "Standard Dynamic Range," a video signal format that allows all setting parameters to be configured directly on the monitor. By limiting the brightness range, SDR enhances character visibility and reduces eye strain.  Additionally, SDR places less load on the computer compared to HDR video, making it ideal for highly competitive game genres.
    Here, we introduce two Picture modes—developed in collaboration with Fnatic—that can be configured during SDR.

    • FPS Pro+: Optimized for FPS games, FPS Pro+ makes it easier to see characters. You can also customize it to your preferences by adjusting each setting item based on FPS Pro+.
    • FPS Pro: This Picture mode has been adjusted to reproduce the image characteristics of TN panels, which are commonly used in traditional gaming competitions.

    Notes:

    • The total number of presets can't be increased.
    • Preset names can't be changed.

    What's an HDR signal?

    HDR stands for "High Dynamic Range," a video signal format that enables high-contrast and vibrant visual expressions. However, compared to SDR, there are fewer adjustable image quality parameters. HDR is recommended for non-shooter games (such as RPGs), watching movies and videos, or performing non-gaming computer tasks, providing a more immersive visual experience.

    Notes:

    • With the INZONE M10S, it is now possible to adjust image quality settings even in HDR.
    • When the Preset mode is set to DisplayHDR, the number of adjustable items is further reduced.
