So I recently got an HDR monitor (not because of it, it was just a bonus). I heard the Windows 10 implementation of HDR is a mess, and turning it on during desktop use makes everything more dim and muted, not exactly what I was expecting. Ended up turning it off, and letting games enable HDR when they need to.
During games it's more of a mixed bag. Doom Eternal looks worse. Blacks are more crushed, and I feel disoriented playing with it on. It's like playing with an instagram filter on. There are settings for HDR calibration, but I have no idea what I should aim for there.
The other game I tried was Forza Horizon 4, which looks alright, but also dims everything. Not sure if it's better or not than not having HDR.
I'm very confused, Is it supposed to be this inconsistent?
