First, Thank you for this pioneer build!
Questions:
How can you really know in what range the studio mastered their movie? Seen where?
Judging by what I see with madTestPattern, how did you know what region is more important to compress and what to clip?
With 1200nit mastered content (presumably), the whole range is compressed.
With 4000nit, again practically the whole range is compressed.
Doesn't that mean that the movie will be too dark overall just so that we will be able to see the super bright parts?
