Probably a noob question, but I wonder if someone has experience with that. I am looking to buy a TV and I wonder is it makes sense to buy one with decent HDR capabilities, when my plan is to watch pirated movies from my Linux device via HDMI. Is that technically possible? Is it easy?
If it matters, I am on Fedora silverblue.
best way to play back HDR movies, especially Dolby vision, is to dual boot LibreElec, specifically THIS build that is getting DV+FEL to work on intel, amd and nvidia graphics.
within a standard Linux operating system these days you can get easily basic HDR working in MPV or kodi etc, but more advanced formats are poorly supported. that said, a decent modern TV can usually run jellyfin, plex, emby, kodi etc. and play the files directly off your computer via SMB/NFS or a usb disk with reasonable format support. getting full lossless atmos audio and the best HDR support requires specific dedicated players, or the libreelec option above if you are OK dual booting.
