HDR is terribly implemented, in most cases. (Especially Windows)

macOS handles it about the best of the bunch.

What I hate is on Windows, you need to basically explicitly set the program, the OS, and the monitor into an "HDR mode". Then, once you're done, you need to un-set it or the colors and brightness will be screwed up.

That is tedious AF. I refuse to use it until it doesn't require constantly toggling crap on and off.



I think with Windows 11 it's a little easier now. At least, I don't have to do this for playing games in HDR. But I can't take screenshots or record videos this way using most built-in tools. Like window's screencapture tools and steams tools.

It's actually a setting in snipping tool (unbelievably)


Not to mention the default hdr mapping is just mega bad.

Even nvidias was wrong for a while.

I just want my hdr mapping to work
