Finally got my setup going with HDR. My Vizio M50 is far from the best HDR TV, but it is an HDR TV. :lol:

It's not as stark of a difference between SDTV and HDTV, but it is pretty remarkable. I would say FM3 with HDR is the most beautiful game I've played. The effect seems to be most noticeable in the game at dawn/dusk and night, when you can really see detail in so many relative levels of brightness, and just how damn bright direct sunlight is. I've been repeatedly stunned at how beautiful the game is at Sunrise.
 
I received my Horizon 3 XB1S bundle yesterday. Hooked it up this morning and was blown away by the difference in lighting.

Only game I have spent any amount of time playing this gen is Driveclub for the PS4 which at the time of release was easily one of the best looking games in terms of graphics that was out. There is still certain things where I think Driveclub looks slightly better but the areas that Horizon 3 beats Driveclub, it beats by miles. Lighting being #1. The way reflections appears as a result is just incredible and all at a silky smooth frame rate. I'm going to have some serious fun with this game. So stoked!
