    Not the right place to ask. Try the official forums of your distro, or one of the many Linux communities on Lemmy.

    Is that HDR? I can tell you right now that HDR is still experimental on all Wayland compositors (Plasma seems to be the farthest along, but still not reliable), and will never be implemented in X11.

      Not quite HDR, similar but different.

      4:4:4 refers to chroma subsampling. Essentially how much bandwidth is available for chroma and luma. 4:4:4 allows for an 4x2 array of pixels to each be unique colors, which isn’t possible with 4:2:2 or 4:2:0.

      It’s a feature you really want when using a 4k TV for a monitor (as I am) because without it, text can be very fuzzy and difficult to read. Especially certain color combinations (i.e. red-on-black, as Konsole will do when there’s an error).
