YouTube’s Chief Business Officer Robert Kyncl confirmed today that YouTube will soon be offering support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) video, according to a new report from Mashable.
High dynamic range video has been in the pipeline for a long time, as it offers a series of techniques that weave images together in order to provide an even clearer picture to streamers. While many might see it as a buzzword, it’s actually a significant boost in picture quality, allowing the watcher to see more details that they may have not noticed before.
There’s just one problem. In order to play and actually see HDR video, you’re going to need a supported monitor or TV. For example, you can watch 4K video on YouTube right now, and while you might be able to stream at that quality, you won’t see a 4K picture unless you have a monitor with the correct specifications.
Netflix and Amazon recently announced support for HDR video streaming as well. That said, several manufacturers–LG, Sony and Vizio–are looking at soon releasing 4K TV’s with support for high dynamic range video.
Those TV’s will no doubt be a tad pricey, but if you’ve been wanting greater detail in your picture quality, it’ll definitely be worth every penny.
