    I just got this monitor some days ago and idk but SDR looks way better than HDR to me with the Sports Presets... Whenever I turn HDR on it looks..yeah washed out and whiteish like under saturated much. I did everything in this video but it did nothing :/... Does it only work on HDR Games and not Windows / SDR Games or am I doing anything wrong? I can only set contrast to 100 in nvidia settings to come close to the SDR contrast and color settings... doesnt make sense :/

    • @TaylorBrauer
      @TaylorBrauer  День тому

      That sounds pretty normal for HDR. The tradeoff with HDR is saturation but you gain those very dramatic levels of lighting that SDR can't achieve. Upping the saturation in the last step of Windows 11 calibaration helps at bit but, like you said, it's not going to get you the same saturation level as SDR. HDR def isn't for everyone.

    2:46 I think it should be mentioned that the monitor supports "variable refresh rate" as a concept both via HDMI ("HDMI VRR") and via DisplayPort ("DisplayPort Adaptive Sync"). It is even certified by NVIDIA as "G-Sync Compatible (40-240Hz via DisplayPort)". Curiously it has no FreeSync certification by AMD (yet?), even though RTINGS reports that it is supported.
    So as a PC user the only difference is that via DP the computer won't detect the monitor if the monitor is turned off - at least it's like that on my system.

    • @TaylorBrauer
      @TaylorBrauer  6 місяців тому

      That's a good point. VRR is supported for both. Dell states that FreeSync Premium Pro isn't compatible but there's no mention of the lower tiers which is why basic FreeSync works. It's pretty confusing, ngl.

    Have you noticed that Dolby Vision Bright or Game with Smart HDR set to Peak 1000 actually doubles the 500 nits peak brightness and it looks like 1000nits?
    So its actually the brightest HDR experience while still having those 1000 nits peak highlights.
    I dont know if theres some black level raise though

    • @TaylorBrauer
      @TaylorBrauer  Місяць тому +1

      Peak 1000 will give you the brightest brights. There's a difference in the darks in that they can get really dark. There's no black level raise since this is an OLED but the dark areas do change with the difference HDR settings.

    Man that was instructive. Great effort. I have 2 questions if you won't mind answering:

    2. Coming from IPS monitor the whites are warmer. Is this normal or my panel is defective?

      Thanks! For your first question, you first want to check which Smart HDR setting you have selected on the monitor. I find that HDR True Black or Peak 1000 looks really nice. You can also turn on Dolby Vision for an overall brighter image. After that, be sure to calibrate in Windows 11.
      For your second question, yes, it's normal. This panel is on the warmer side.

      Windows won't unfortunately. You can save different profiles and then use them as you change profiles on the display.
      I find that Dolby Vision is a great sweet spot if I don't want to switch and I used that for a long time. I'm now experimenting with manually switching between SDR and HDR. It's a bit of a chore but I do like the look of SDR.

    Also it seems like having Dolby vision game or bright is the brightest overall in hdr even tho the calibration cuts out at 500 nits vs about 1000 in peak 1000? Doesn't seem to matter if the content supports Dolby vision or not, it looks alot brighter on everything vs the other modes. Is something off in that regard?

    • @TaylorBrauer
      @TaylorBrauer  5 місяців тому

      Since this is OLED the response time is consistent for the hertz you set on the monitor. So 60hz has a slower response time and 240hz has a faster response time. Response times don’t differ between color profiles. If you’re used to an IPS screen having overdrive settings there’s none of that on OLEDs.
      You’re spot on with Dolby Vision. It’s an overall brighter picture. Having DV off and using the HDR profiles will give you more dynamic range at the cost of less overall brightness.

    So let's say you want to go back and forth between HDR True Black and HDR 1000, does Windows HDR calibration auto-switch to the correct calibration you set up before, or do you manually have to switch it? And I assume that calibration automatically goes away when you switch to SDR?

    • @TaylorBrauer
      @TaylorBrauer  2 місяці тому

      I believe when you set it up initially for either one you can save the profile so when you switch back and forth you load the profile. That way you don't have to re-calibrate everytime. Yeah, SDR should clear the profile.

    Great video, thanks!
    It's not clear to me how Windows Home and applications handle switching between HDR and SDR. My Home Theater JVC projector automatically switches between HDR and SDR depending on the content/movie that I play. For example, 4K Ultra HD movies mostly come in HDR, so my projector automatically switches to HDR mode. But if I watch Blu-Ray 1080p movies, my projector switches to SDR automatically.
    This is the first computer monitor that I have which supports HDR & Dolby Vision. I'm not sure how the Windows OS and Windows applications handle HDR versus SDR. Does Windows automatically switch between HDR and SDR depending on the application being used? For example, when using applications that are not games (such as Word, Excel, email, browser, etc.), do you use SDR or HDR? In Windows Settings, do you have to manually toggle the Settings > System > Display > Use HDR On or Off depending on what application you are using? Or do you just leave Settimgs > System > Display > Use HDR at "On" all the time, so you're always using HDR? Or does Windows switch between HDR and SDR depending on the application being used?

    • @TaylorBrauer
      @TaylorBrauer  4 місяці тому +1

      Windows is notoriously terrible at handling HDR in a way that's practical. I've found that I've had to manually turn in off and on whenever I want to switch between SDR and HDR. There's an Auto-hdr setting in the display settings, but I haven't noticed it making any difference.

When you launch Baldurs Gate 3, it automatically switches you from Dolby Vision mode to either True Black or Peak 1000 depending on which Smart HDR setting you have on your monitor. This is because Dolby Vision is not technically supported in BG3, however you can still view SDR content via Dolby Vision tonemapping. If you could explain your process, I'd appreciate it!
