With HDR-capable TV becoming commonplace, why can’t we have a HDR format for pictures that takes advantage of this HDR capability?

Please don’t confuse this with the single HDR image that is created post processing. Displaying that image on a ‘HDR’ image will not take advantage of the HDR capability of the TV

HDR video content contains just a single image for each frame to be displayed. Why would HDR still images be different? Sure, the limitations of cameras mean that both still and video HDR may be captured as multiple images and then merged, but that merging is not done by display devices.

Are you asking about a format for use by display devices or about a format for use between the camera and post-processing?
