This week on The Front Row Podcast, we’re joined by Rob Brennan, Technical Account Manager at Epson, and someone who’s been around long enough to see just about every shift in display technology. We sit down to talk about HDR - what it is, why it matters, and why it can be such a mixed bag on projectors.
If you’ve ever looked at HDR on a projector and thought something seemed off, you’re not alone. Rob helps break down why HDR looks great on TVs, the challenges projectors face, and why tone mapping has become such a big deal when it comes to home theater projectors. We even get into the question that always comes up, sometimes, is it just better to stick with SDR on a projector?
So grab a drink, get comfortable, and join us for an honest and practical conversation about HDR, tone mapping, and the ongoing journey to get projectors looking their best.
