Exactly why I use subtitles. Seem to recall Interstellar was horrible like this.
It was great in cinema. It's terrible at home.
Frankly annoying as hell that shows and movies can basically only be enjoyed in a cinema or with headphones.
Where's the audio equivalent of HDR?
It's funny because I understood what you meant, but I think it's the exact opposite of HDR. You want to reduce the range with a compressor.
And some home cinema receivers do offer this option. Often labeled something like "night listening mode".
I've found upgrading my front center speaker has greatly improved dialogue. I had my speakers from a home cinema kit and the center front was a puny crappy speaker.
There's HDR for displays, which increases the dynamic range, but there's also HDR for photos, where the dynamic range is compressed. So maybe they meant the latter? Very not confusing naming...
What about the HDR on my HDR TV that just makes all colors darker when enabling HDR?
It's called dynamic compression, often labeled as night mode. Makes quiet stuff louder and loud stuff more quiet. My AVR has it as a feature and probably most TVs as well.
Irionically HDR for video is new and a mess, but audio has long been "high dynamic" range, which is why its so awful in non-perfect listening environments.
192kHZ/24bit audio vs 44.1kHZ/16bit
