    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 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.

      Yes. And stop fucking mumbling. And use a proper lighting for fuck sake, I don't care if it is middle of the night in a forest, I want to be able to see what's going on.

      And please stabilise the camera. I'm not in this car chase, I'm trying to watch it without getting a migraine.

        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.

          For anyone who might find this useful:

          Kodi is great for normalising volume and I try to use Kodi for Plex and YouTube on the TV:

          Try adjusting the Volume to about -20 dB and the Volume Amplification to +30 dB. The latter will compress the audio as it increases volume to avoid peaks, and will effectively "flatten" the volume contour a bit. Adjust the values to your taste.

          The other thing that has really helped is having a good Bluetooth speaker. If the kids are playing and being noisy in the room while I'm trying to watch TV, then sound is much clearer if the speaker is right next to me rather than trying to turn up the volume to drown out other noises.

              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...

                    I blame Dolby 5.1... switch to Dolby 2.1.... people encoding online video should do this before ripping video or us and audio leveler on the resulting files and save everyone else the hassle.

                      I swear there was a phase where shakey-cam had just become the in-thing.
                      I remember watching a TV series or a movie or something where shooting had clearly wrapped before shakey-cam was popularised. And it looked like they had just added it in post. It was unnatural movement (so, not like someone was holding the camera), and there was too much of it. I had to skip a lot of the shakey-cam scenes

                        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.

                            It's the TV. No one should expect TV speakers to be worth anything. Even getting one of the cheapest sound bars or even computer speakers will make a noticable difference

                                The solution is obviously to learn german. Then you can watch with our excellent and easily intelligible dubs.

                                  Or just get a 5.1 setup. Speakers are cheaper than ever.

                                    I prefer for actors to mumble then their character is supposed to mumble, and just use subtitles. Maybe it's because I've gotten too used to subtitles from all the anime I watch but I always enable it for anything on YouTube or any other video content I consume.

                                    Agree on the lightning part though, at least for action scenes, bad lighting is often used to cover for bad CGI. For narration scenes of the place is actually dark, I don't really mind for me to basically only see silhouettes, it's appropriate.

                                        Nobody should expect a product to function reasonably out of the box. That would be insane, right?
