Probably a noob question, but I wonder if someone has experience with that. I am looking to buy a TV and I wonder is it makes sense to buy one with decent HDR capabilities, when my plan is to watch pirated movies from my Linux device via HDMI. Is that technically possible? Is it easy?

If it matters, I am on Fedora silverblue.

works on my jellyfin with the two computers in my family with hdr monitors, and the newer tv with hdr. the older one struggles to play hd sdr video but possibly it could still be used as a monitor and have an sbc capable of hd hdr playback actually play the stream.
