Streaming services absolutely have HDR programming. My GF has been incredibly impressed as a normie.

Probably more impressed than me because I consider OLED to be relatively meh for HDR. Not really bright enough for me, I only care about OLED largely for black depth / lack of glow and motion quality for games, I rarely watch TV/movies in comparison.

Hence my remark on OLED with increased brightness. In the TV world, they're called OLED.EXT panels. The new iPad Pro uses a different technique (layered panels) to achieve the same thing.

Infinitely deep blacks combined with high local brightness is god-like to experience.

The money I would give to have this in a form useful to me is beyond what most people would considerable reasonable. But god I want it.
