Fake HDR?

[NoobiexD]

Does the Dell U2718Q actually support HDR? It has a 10bit color dept but the brightness looks pretty low for a HDR monitor.

No, it doesn't. It has standard brightness, standard contrast, and standard color gamut. The only actual HDR monitor I know of is the UP2718Q.

I've actually just got this monitor and watched some HDR demos and it does a pretty decent job. This is compared to an LG OLED I have seen demos on. I wouldn't purchase this monitor purely for HDR though. You'd be better off with a TV. 

 

Just FYI this is with HDR enabled on the monitor and in Windows 10

Its not full HDR, its the bare minium that gets you into HDR.

Looks like there is 3 types of HDR. HDR 400(400 being the monitor brightness) which where the dell monitor falls into.

You are replying to a post from 2 months ago about HDR definitions that were just created yesterday.

I just noticed that. I saw the post in the front page so I assumed it was just made oops. Also, do you mind if I pm you. I need a second monitor and I don't feel like making a post about it.

Only the UP2718Q does True HDR among the Dell Monitors. I do have that monitor and it's amazing(Black Friday Deal). HDR starts at 1000 nits and of course you need DP 1.4 or HDMI 2.0a as well.
