Check your display and graphics setup. It typically appears in Windows 10 or 11 without manual setup, and the HDR option is often disabled out of the box.

My Samsung G5 and 6800 card are set up. I need to adjust something to activate the HDR feature.

It's a display that supports HDR signals yet struggles to render them clearly. Brightness stays around 250 cd/m2, which falls short of the HDR400 standard even for basic participation.

Wow, your screen is super bright! It looks like you're wearing sunglasses or something. I can't use "HDR" since the monitor keeps switching on and off.

This advice focuses more on practical setup than general opinion. For high-quality HDR viewing you should use a display with at least 1000 nits brightness (or OLED with true black support). This indicates the ability to display very bright highlights, not that the entire screen is that intense. An LCD with HDR 400 (without true black) is considered basic. Enabling HDR on such a device offers little benefit. A monitor advertised at 250 nits for HDR10 capability likely doesn’t meet entry-level standards—it can handle HDR signals but doesn’t deliver genuine HDR performance.

This setup aims for a more realistic visual with enhanced detail and clarity. Achieving this demands precise color matching and strong differences between light and dark tones. For fast-paced competitive games where you constantly monitor players near the sun, it might not be ideal. In slower, cinematic single-player experiences where the sun casts dramatic shadows, a true HDR display is essential. Just noting that this particular monitor won't deliver that level of immersion—though it could still work in some ways.

yeah, but that's what im saying, it looks "good" and "realistic", just a bit too realistic maybe its not something I'd want to use, in the current state, because it makes you literally lose games, despite looking "good"... also you see its weird when i say "its too bright" and the answer is "well actually its not bright enough"... as even more brightness would make it even worse lol... Other game i tried with HDR was Resident Evil 3 remak,and again it looked kind of good, except its a dark and gritty game and those kind of lighting effects don't fit the theme at all, also made my eyes kinda hurt due to the stark contrast (ironically!) between the dark game and some of the glaringly bright lights... So to me HDR for gaming is really mostly a gimmick and not worth the extra cost (as I'd have to turn it off anyways) might be good for film, but i rarely watch movies, and on youtube idk if i need it either... looks good enough to me, especially bright enough (ik HDR isnt just about brightness,but that's the dominant effect, and i really prefer muted, overall more natural colors) also why i strongly dislike "RTX" i don't want everything look like some neon flooded city... that's only good for a few specific scenarios...
