A4, Some users may notice that the charging status shows “slow charging”, this is because some series of laptop have protection protocol, especially laptops that have both Thunderbolt 3 port and over 100W external DC power adapter. Please solve it by using laptop provided an external power adapter to charge.
Q5. What is High Dynamic Range (HDR)?
A5, High Dynamic Range (HDR) creates much more lifelike experiences by allowing bright objects such as lights and highlights glinting off shiny objects to be displayed much more brightly than other objects in the scene. HDR also allows for more details in dark scenes. True HDR playback is not yet available on the built-in displays of laptops and tablets, many of TVs and PC monitors start to build in HDR-10 with HDCP2.2 to support. Some of the key HDR ccontent sources today are « Streaming HDR (e.g. YouTube) & Streaming premium HDR (e.g. Netflix) « Local HDR Video Files « ULTRA HD Blu-ray* « HDR games// « HDR content creation apps
Also, if you need to stream HDR contents with applications like Netflix and YouTube, make sure in Windows 10 “Stream HDR Video” setting is “on” in the ‘Video playback’settings page.
