"We knew that the Metal framework was capable of reaching extended brightness modes on macOS, but it was tricky to find the exact approach that would allow us to use this outside of our own application" - Ben Harraway Unfortunately macOS is smart enough to notice that there is nothing to be displayed in a completely transparant video." - Jordi Bruin "My first approach was to create a fully transparant HDR video that I could overlay on top of the system. Five minutes later I decided I was going to spend the next month trying to find ways to unlock this higher brightness across the entire system! I like to work outside so I can really use the extra brightness to combat the sun!" - Jordi Bruin "The first thing I tried when I got the new MacBook Pro last year was to see how bright the screen could go when watching HDR videos.
