Did TVs commonly support HDR before 4k?
No.
Did TVs commonly support HDR before 4k?
Sony has Jeff Rigby and Microsoft does NOT!To us non-technical people, can someone explain why the Xbox S was required for HDR but not for PS4?
Guessing my Sony w900a doesn't have HDR
I do remember seeing 10bit color on there somewhere though

If your TV doesnt support HDR, expect nothing
If your TV does support it, get ready to see some really really nice colors
You need to check the TV specs or manual.I'll admit that I haven't followed any of this tech at all, so can you elaborate a bit? How do I know if my TV supports HDR? Is it only newer models or will some older models support it?
Well HDR means a lot of things for each type of media.No It, isn't HDR is about peak brightness.
WCG (Wide Colour Gamut) or Deep Colour is about colour.
These things combined are what form the HDR stadards (HDR10, Dolby Vision) however, they can both exist separetly from each other.
PS3 support Deep colour for example.
All assets need to be in 10bit colour in order to take advantage of a wider colour gamut, but this requires increased bandwidth and 20% more storage vs an 8bit file
Nope.
Nothing to do with Color, the PS4 already supported 10 bit color, as does the Xbox One.

To be fair it doesn't need because any 1080p output will be upscaled to 4k by the HDTV... it is the same than Xbox One S except in one case the upscale is done by HDTV and in the other the console.This just goes to show that people in general don't know a goddam thing about the tech right now. All Hail Jeff lol THE PS4 IS NOT AND WILL NOT PLAY UHD DISKS NEITHER DOES THE PRO.
FALSE GOD
So MS knew this and could've done it for the OG Xbox before but refused to do it and use it as an 'exclusive' feature to sell the Xbox One S. Lame.Lol they're probably going to make an update so all Xbox One's have HDR now all of a sudden.

This doesn't make sense without 4K. Are their HDR TVs without 4K?
HDR is software.Niiice.
So I wonder why the original XBO misses it and it was billed as S exclusive? Was it due to the slightly older GCN revision in the XBO?
All 4K TV's still take a 1080p signal, so I imagine you can watch in 1080p with HDR that way.
Huh. Do 4K televisions support HDR information on a 1080p signal? It's part of the 4K spec, no?
Also, why is everyone shouting about Jeff Rigby? This has nothing to do with his UHD drive claims.
HDR is software.
XBO can do it if MS wishes.
HDR is about color... not resolution.
Even 720p resolution will benefit with HDR (if have any 720p display with HDR support).
What the fuck is HDR? It shares an acronym with that one image effect that's been in gaming as far back as Half Life 2: Lost Coast.
Seeing people saying Jeff was right, just shows that people don't even know what the heck is all that.
They just saw HDR + firmware and translated it into Rigby was right, redeemed!!
XD
I never doubted jeff_rigby. It was pretty obvious he was right tbh.
Everybody loves an underdog
If im beta testing 4.0, do i already have the HDR update?
As far as i remember PS4 has 1.4 HDMI and from few people i heard that HDMI 1.4 can't do HDR and that 2.0 is for HDR. So did Sony just lied?

Nope. I have the beta too and an HDR enabled TV and there's nothing new at all for me.
