I connected two portable LCDs I have that support HDR. Both LCDs didn't automatically detect HDR and looked washed out initially. I had to manually change them to HDR. The signal according to the AVR was... Resolution: 4K60 HDR:

I have relatives with property along a river in Bath county Virginia. Across the river stands a ~200ft high cliff with caves that go for miles. I was told that they were formed by the ocean. That explanation bothered me because the caves fa
