Displaying native HLG (HDR) M2P files on 8K OLED, astonishing!

Go for it Ken! Of course if you're into the technical side, the other thing I forgot to mention is that HLG records natively in Rec2020 color space, not the old Rec709 and as I don't have an HDR monitor, my clips are still color graded and mastered on Rec 709. "The Rec. 2020 (UHDTV/UHD-1/UHD-2) color space can reproduce colors that cannot be shown with the Rec. 709 (HDTV) color space" Rec. 2020 - Wikipedia

So I am STILL not seeing the absolute, full potential of a color-graded HLG Rec2020 project! I note Black Magic have just released some new HDR monitors but they are all still ridiculously expensive.

Thanks Chris,

Strangely, I remember when rec2020 was in its infancy. I was around at the beginning of digital video, having migrated from NTSC, PAL, and even SECAM. I still have a copy of Video Demystified, one of the earliest digital video bibles. One of my problems is it has been a while and what I have retained is fairly minimal.

I appreciate your passion for perfection and will cheer you on from the sidelines.

Ken

Thanks Ken but of course a passion for perfection never actually gets you there, but I do like to try harder each time!
