Add HDR support

Vodafone TV (Spain) requires Windows and HDR support (it doesn't work on Mac). While on the move, it would be nice to be able to watch Spanish TV on my Mac, something I cannot currently do. I guess the issue is not limited to this provider. And, well, yes, we are in 2025

For Developer QA at Parallels:
1. There is a new HDR testing site at: https://www.testufo.com/hdr
2. Upgrade your QA department with at least one good HDR display.
3. Also include some HDR videos and HDR videogames too.

This is the easiest way to test for HDR support:

Most LCDs have terrible HDR support, but MacBook MiniLED screens with XDR, supports great HDR. So does the new MiniLED and OLED monitors. Just because HDR is awful on most displays -- doesn't mean HDR doesn't look amazing. For years, HDR looked worse than SDR because of cheap LCDs, so please don't decide against HDR because of QA test department is missing a good HDR display -- get at least one and test fully.

Many games now include HDR support, which only starts looking great when the display is able to peak at ~1500 nits for up to a few pixels (e.g. bright flames, bright sun glints on a chrome car, bright neons). Also, google "HDR brighter than white" for some HDR pixel demos.

 

Added my vote for HDR support. We desperately need it. There are certain applications on Windows that I need HDR support and unfortunately they don't work on the Mac at all. Please let the next edition of Parallels have it!
