A system, comprising: a display panel configured to display a display space defined by bit depth of the display panel, the display space comprising N codes for representing pixel values; and one or more processors configured to implement: a dynamic display module configured to determine a current brightness level B according to one or more of an ambient lighting level or a brightness control setting, wherein the current brightness level B defines a lower portion and an upper portion of a display space of the display panel; and a rendering pipeline configured to render received digital image content according to a maximum rendering value M to generate high dynamic range (HDR) content in a dynamic range of from 0.0 to M; and a display pipeline configured to: obtain the rendered HDR content; map the rendered HDR content into the display space of the display panel according to the current brightness level B, wherein, to map the rendered HDR content into the display space of the display panel, the display pipeline is configured to: map a first portion of the rendered HDR content in a standard range of from 0.0 to 1.0 into the lower portion of the display space and map a second portion of the rendered HDR content in an extended range of from 1.0 to M into the upper portion of the display space; and output the mapped HDR content to the display panel for display. a display panel configured to display a display space defined by bit depth of the display panel, the display space comprising N codes for representing pixel values; and one or more processors configured to implement: a dynamic display module configured to determine a current brightness level B according to one or more of an ambient lighting level or a brightness control setting, wherein the current brightness level B defines a lower portion and an upper portion of a display space of the display panel; and a rendering pipeline configured to render received digital image content according to a maximum rendering value M to generate high dynamic range (HDR) content in a dynamic range of from 0.0 to M; and a dynamic display module configured to determine a current brightness level B according to one or more of an ambient lighting level or a brightness control setting, wherein the current brightness level B defines a lower portion and an upper portion of a display space of the display panel; and a rendering pipeline configured to render received digital image content according to a maximum rendering value M to generate high dynamic range (HDR) content in a dynamic range of from 0.0 to M; and a display pipeline configured to: obtain the rendered HDR content; map the rendered HDR content into the display space of the display panel according to the current brightness level B, wherein, to map the rendered HDR content into the display space of the display panel, the display pipeline is configured to: map a first portion of the rendered HDR content in a standard range of from 0.0 to 1.0 into the lower portion of the display space and map a second portion of the rendered HDR content in an extended range of from 1.0 to M into the upper portion of the display space; and output the mapped HDR content to the display panel for display. obtain the rendered HDR content; map the rendered HDR content into the display space of the display panel according to the current brightness level B, wherein, to map the rendered HDR content into the display space of the display panel, the display pipeline is configured to: map a first portion of the rendered HDR content in a standard range of from 0.0 to 1.0 into the lower portion of the display space and map a second portion of the rendered HDR content in an extended range of from 1.0 to M into the upper portion of the display space; and output the mapped HDR content to the display panel for display. <EOS>
