HDR provides you with the most realistic picture quality to stream your favorite movies and shows on your TV. Though it is a predominant thing, it has some disadvantages too. So, you can turn off HDR on LG Smart TV when not required.
In HDR mode, the content will consume more power due to the maximum brightness level. Especially if you are watching HDR content in low light, it will cause eye fatigue and irritation. The picture might glare if there is too much natural light in the room. To avoid these problems, you can disable the HDR.
Should HDR be Turned On or Off
HDR increases the dynamic range beyond what is captured normally and creates a more accurate and impressive picture. If you want to watch the IMAX Enhanced content of Disney Plus on LG Smart TV, you can enable HDR mode.
If you wish to see something in motion that features dark and intense scenes, you must turn off the HDR. Or else, you might not see the visuals in the dark. HDR is very useful when you want to see lifeless pictures more vibrant.
