Tone mapping generally preserves bright detail while maintaining contrast, and game-mode controls allow substantial customization between dynamic mapping and HGIG.
Pros: resolution, HDR format support
Cons: software updates, account requirements
Best TVs for tone mapping
Native HDR tone mapping preserves highlight detail well, but SDR-to-HDR remastering is inconsistent and can add harsh edges, cool tones, or an artificial look. PC HDR also showed mapping bugs...
Pros: resolution, contrast ratio
Cons: HDR10+ support, account requirements
Tone mapping can deviate substantially from reference targets, with midtones and highlights sometimes rendered too bright. Lower peak-brightness settings improve tracking but sacrifice some impact.
Pros: overall image accuracy, resolution
Cons: motion clarity, response time
