- dreamer7 6y agoJust tried this on my Macbook Pro. It was easier to just go to YouTube and search for HDR videos than downloading the sample in the article. Digital Color Meter shows both UI white and video white as exactly #fff despite the video white being much brighter! Even at full screen brightness, the video white was noticeably brighter

- Budabellly 6y agoThanks, apologies for missing that. I wonder if other measurement tools (e.g. Adobe color picker) are also fooled by the OS in this case.
