For Developer QA at Parallels:
1. There is a new HDR testing site at: https://www.testufo.com/hdr
2. Upgrade your QA department with at least one good HDR display.
3. Also include some HDR videos and HDR videogames too.
This is the easiest way to test for HDR support:
Most LCDs have terrible HDR support, but MacBook MiniLED screens with XDR, supports great HDR. So does the new MiniLED and OLED monitors. Just because HDR is awful on most displays -- doesn't mean HDR doesn't look amazing. For years, HDR looked worse than SDR because of cheap LCDs, so please don't decide against HDR because of QA test department is missing a good HDR display -- get at least one and test fully.
Many games now include HDR support, which only starts looking great when the display is able to peak at ~1500 nits for up to a few pixels (e.g. bright flames, bright sun glints on a chrome car, bright neons). Also, google "HDR brighter than white" for some HDR pixel demos.

Hello,
I recently released a HDR display-testing website that works on both PC and Mac in Chrome browser. However, it is not working in Parallels properly.
Web-Based HDR Benchmarking Website
This is a new feature coming to web browsers:
1. Load Chrome browser on any XDR dipslay, MiniLED display, or OLED display (including TVs)
2. Enable Experimental Web Platform Features (WCG+HDR) at chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features
3. Open www.testufo.com/hdr
Good: Chrome Web Browser on PC / Mac Native
This is what it should look like with HDR (on either PC native or Mac native)
Bad: Chrome Web Browser in Parallels
But in Parallels, it looks like this:

Bit poster
Added my vote for HDR support. We desperately need it. There are certain applications on Windows that I need HDR support and unfortunately they don't work on the Mac at all. Please let the next edition of Parallels have it!
I also need HDR support.
I'm developing a graphics application that need to display colors correctly in HDR and would love to use Parallels to test my application on Windows and Linux while on my mac... but no dice. I'd be happy to purchase a new copy of Parallels once HDR support is here. Otherwise, there's little point if I have to switch to a different machine for HDR testing anyway.
