Netflix (as archived 2025-01-23) encourages but does not require HDR monitoring on set, warns that 'Bright SDR' monitors marketed as HDR-capable are unsuitable, and asks that monitors and LUT boxes support at least 33-point 3D LUTs; ARRI recommends HDR monitoring with a true HDR monitor to catch HDR-only problems early.
