HDR input, colors were brighter, but what should have been a bright yellow
dress in one scene bordered on bright orange instead. But the projector handled

modes.
Short of calibration, the preferred mode for SDR input will depend largely on
the level of ambient light and the screen size you choose. The sRGB mode

it also brightened dark areas, making details in those areas easier to see. That’s
useful for games, since it lets you see details quickly, but it tends to make dark
scenes in movies brighter than they should be.
As is typical, the brightest mode (called Bright) had a noticeably green tint. The
bias was less than with some projectors, though. Most buyers should consider it
usable on an occasional basis if they need the extra brightness.
