      It's most likely that HDR is enbaled in-game and not on the monitor. HDR video viewed in SDR makes the color look oversaturated at best and blasted out at worst.

      @Junior Castro dude 😂 HDR shouldn't look washed out, if it looks washed out, it means that the color accuracy of the monitor is not hitting the target. HDR is rich in contrast as it needs to be able to display deep blacks and bright white without loosing detail, only this fact means that the image can't look washed out. Now colours are of a bigger gamut as well.

      @@neikory exactly 💯 👏 you are completely correct. But let me explain 🤔 what you're missing. HDR focuses on giving you the most realistic experience in gaming and movies. In real life what does colors need to look bright and colorful? LIGHT. So if you're playing COD, Fortnite or whatever game and you're in a room where there's no light just a bit, colors will look dark or dim but you can still enjoy high definition details 😉 look go into your bedroom turn off the light but open a little bit of you window 🪟 how colors will look without enough light? This is what this technology does. Same thing with dolby atmos, it moves the sound where the object is moving. I've had a Samsung QLED TV 4K at 60hz refresh rate that supports HDR10 for almost 4 years now and I never have enjoyed this technology because I've been playing on my PS4 for the past decade 😅 but when I got my Xbox Series X 👏 my man I was amazed 😳 at the huge difference 😢 and I still have to upgrade my TV because the Xbox series X supports 120hz in 4k with (Dolby Vision) which is better than HDR10 & HDR10+. Right now only Sony and LG has these TVs that support (Dolby Vision) and the Xbox is the only console that supports Dolby Vision. 😀

    This is absolutely and grossly misrepresenting the difference between SDR and HDR. The image should look mostly identical, just with additional detail in highlights and shadows and brighter highlights, as well as finer colors (as in smoother gradients, not more - or less - saturation). Something's very wrong here, because here the supposed SDR image is blown and oversaturated, while the supposed HDR image is very dull.

      Like I mentioned, when both your SDR and HDR are set up properly, there really shouldn't be much of a difference noticeable between the two except for things that are pretty hard to capture in an SDR video or screenshot in the first place (brighter and less blown highlights, improved shadow detail).

Quantum tv back in the day was telling people to use DCI for sdr content showing how "good" it made spiderman look. Then he made another video trying to justify his claim using Horizon Zero Dawn saying that the sdr is better which ironically is the same game used in this video.
      Quantum TV also made a whole bunch of ridiculous claims saying that hdr isn't real. He's changed since then growing into a tech reviewer, but I don't get why he still has those crazy videos up?

    This is such a poor representation as to what HDR actually is and looks like. Your display is clearly not made for HDR if the colors and lighting become that muted. Or your settings are absolutely askewed. HDR is darker darks, Brighter brights, And enhanced color space. Image shouldnt change very much other than contrast and maybe brighter colors. Your display should get to AT LEAST 600 nits if you actually want to utilize HDR. 1000 nits is better. Its way better on TVs as TVs are usually higher brightness than almost all moniters.

    This is dumb. HDR is a pretty strange subject considering many monitors claim to have "HDR", but can only display an hdr signal and cant actually produce HDR content. For HDR to be effective you would need a display with many local dimming zones or an OLED panel so it can vary brightness to a greater degree. Believe me, once you get a display (tv or monitor) that can do true HDR it will blow you away.

    Honestly HDR has been the biggest graphical game changer as of late. It does way more for how a game looks than ray tracing. In games with HDR if you use SDR the game look really flat and boring in comparison. It was genuinely a wow moment when I got my OLED panel and played some HDR games on it, almost like the jump from 2D to 3D games. The colours were so punchy and stuff like lava and fire actually look how fire and lava should look, the contrast is insane. It’s a game changer for sure if you have a good monitor for it and the game has good HDR (most games do thankfully).

    You need to have a monitor with 1000 nit peak brightness to properly utilize HDR. 600 nit at minimum will get some benefit but not fully. You also need 10-bit or 8-bit + dithering color depth. Many monitors today advertise HDR simply for marketing purposes and they can process HDR, however they are most often not equipped enough to actually display it. If the monitor isn’t above at least 600 nits, it is incapable displaying HDR. I own a 1000 nit monitor 8-bit + dithering and HDR is way bright and more saturated than the SDR. It is really an impressive thing once you properly see it.

      HDR content on RUclips never looks as good. You need a good HDR display with proper settings to get the most out of it. And RUclips compresses video. So HDR will always look better in person from the source.
      You may see a bit of difference in HDR youtube videos, but it won't look as good as in person.
      To see what you can with RUclips, you need a real HDR video. Which this video is not. And watch it on an HDR capable display. Which if you are on a phone probably doesn't have HDR. And you need to find a good example, which this isn't. He totally changed the settings a lot for some reason.
      This video shows a side by side comparison in Avengers Endgame. It still won't look as good since it's not an HDR video, but you can still see some difference. More contrast, brighter highlights, more detail and color. Same in games. ruclips.net/video/suWVZ8xlMyo/видео.html

    HDR means you get details in shadows and bright spots, at the same time, versus having to trade brightness/contrast for one or the other.
    It’s photography/videography term, where sometimes we have to composite pictures with different exposure times so we get details in bright and dark areas together.
    If you use hdr, the computer graphics processor will have to calculate and rebalance brightness in both bright and dark areas accurately in a smart way to bring out all those details together, this automation requires quite a bit of processing power if you need to do lots of images in a short time.

    LOl.. nah bro. There are some valid criticisms you can make of HDR. The fact that most HDR content has been done very poorly or has very bad even often fake (e.g. red dead redemption 2 is an infamous fake hdr game) HDR. But anyone that has experienced real, good HDR on a HDR capable screen (preferably at least 1000 nits, but I've seen TV's that did well with 750 too.. For oled TV's around 1000 is rare but they get by with their true blacks and incredible colors, so even 500 nits HDR can look impressive in a pitch black room) knows how INSANE hdr can be an how much it improves the experience of watching or playing content.
    The absolute best implementation I've ever seen (and one that even Bing AI recommended me years later as "the best" is probably Valerian and the city of a thousand planets. I've watched that movie twice just because it's mind blowing in HDR.
    e.g. the tiny lamps on space suits, they look like they are bright tiny led lamps that are floating above your screen. At one point an alien has a gun that is basically a sort of flashlight and it looks so insane.
    HDR is a car pulling up in a dark screet and the headlights almost blind you. It's not being able to look at the sun in a scene. It's the realistic shadows witht he realistic, bright highlights. It's the wider color gamut. it's all that combined. If you have that and a screen that has fairly accurate colors it will blow your mind.
    That said, some movies, shows and games have incredible HDR. And others have really bad HDR. And 95% of TV's that have been sold in the past 10 years or so as "HDR" TV's, are nowhere near capable of showing off HDR .. Even today the majority of sub 1000 euro / dollar TV's sold barely reach 300 nits brightness in HDR, esp with non oled screens that's just garbage and you're better off not using HDR at that point. In fact for al ot of content, it's better not to use HDR. But that doesn't change that HDR is incredible and a really big deal.
    If you have access to a good HDR screen. Try watching some of those HDR tokyo walk videos on youtube.. they will blow your mind. (albeit, make sure the screen settings are somewhat decent and accurate)

    Monitor with HDR has High Dynamic Range. This make the color more situated

    Seems to me that the contrast in the HDR image has been reduced so that the darkest and the brightest detail can be shown on a regular screen without HDR. That's why it looks so dull.
    The images would be more comparable if the non-HDR one had the same amount of contrast reduction applied. Both would look equally as dull, but in the HDR image you'd see the extra dark and bright detail, which in the non-HDR one would be just flat single color areas.
