My colors look washed out and my blacks look gray. Is HDR10+ GAMING broken?

HDR10+ GAMING

Washed-out colors and gray blacks are symptoms of a fixable misconfiguration, not a flaw in the standard. Three primary culprits exist:

 

  1. Display not in Game Mode: Check the Products search to confirm your display supports HDR10+ GAMING and therefore has an HDR10+ GAMING mode to activate. Displays without HDR10+ GAMING support — or with Game Mode not activated — may apply additional video processing that conflicts with the game engine’s signal. Activate Game Mode for proper HDR10+ GAMING rendering.
  2. Windows HDR settings: For HDR10+ GAMING, verify Windows HDR is enabled and your display’s Game Mode is activated. See “What do I need to get HDR10+ GAMING running on my PC?” for full setup instructions. The SDR content brightness slider affects non-HDR content only.
  3. Double tone-mapping: The game engine handles all tone mapping on the GPU, optimized for your specific display, and your display should simply present that signal as-is. Unless your display is switched into HDR10+ GAMING mode, it may instead be performing its own HDR10 tone mapping on top of the game engine’s — processing the image twice and making it look flat. To fix this, confirm your display is in HDR10+ GAMING mode.
