The 2021 Summer Olympics, which run from July 23 to August 8, are set to be the first Olympic Games that are broadcast live in high dynamic range (HDR) video. Although many films and TV shows are available in HDR—via streaming services, the Ultra HD disc format, and some cable and satellite providers—live sports coverage in HDR has been rare. Judging from what we’ve seen demoed at trade shows, we think HDR can offer big benefits with sports content, and we’ve been eagerly waiting for it to become more available. To complement the improved video, the Tokyo Games are also being broadcast in Dolby Atmos sound to deliver a more immersive audio experience.
What can you watch in HDR, and what gear do you need to fully experience the Olympics this way in your home? Here’s what we know.
