I operate with my screen at 120 nits, yet when I enabled HDR in Windows it instantly adjusted the brightness to its highest level. When I attempt to manually set the brightness to match previous HDR-free levels, the display colors appear distorted. I also lack a colorimeter to verify whether applying the same brightness setting during HDR and normal modes produces identical nits output. Additionally, could there be a way to keep HDR off by default but activate it automatically when watching HDR content?

I attempted to adjust the slider to 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% but the display didn't behave as expected. Can you use only 120 nits in Windows with HDR enabled? When watching HDR videos, should it automatically increase brightness to the maximum level? Ideally, it should work similarly to how HDR is managed on Android, allowing normal brightness for regular tasks and boosting to full brightness when viewing HDR content.

Which display are you employing? On my LG C2 with the SDR brightness adjusted to around four, it functions quite well. HDR tends to appear very intense, whereas SDR often appears quite faint.

I set it up exactly as intended, using my advanced C2 level. The screen brightness was cranked to the highest setting. What I needed was a system that automatically handled everything without manual adjustments based on the task. This SDR slider made it possible. Now any web video runs in HDR seamlessly—thanks to Nvidia.
