Activating High Dynamic Range in games such as Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Destiny 2, and similar titles consistently produces HDR functionality within Far Cry 5, allowing for selection between HDR10 and sRGB modes. My display is confirmed to be compatible with HDR10, as evidenced by my system diagnostics: Monitor Capabilities: HDR Supported (BT2020RGB BT2020YCC Eotf2084Supported ). My specifications are as follows: Resolution: 2560x1440, Refresh Rate: 144Hz, Monitor: Samsung C32HG70, Graphics Card: GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM, and Operating System: Windows 10 (version 1809).
When assessing a picture with High Dynamic Range relative to one without, the higher-resolution image undeniably exhibits richer hues. While this scenario might not be ideal for demonstration, discernible distinctions are present, and I'm using a 1080p IPS monitor with cold cathode fluorescent tube illumination. The disparity would likely be even more pronounced on a 4K HDR-compatible VA panel display, owing to its superior contrast capabilities.
You assert you possess a suitable screen configured with correct settings and compatible connections, yet something must be amiss if you fail to perceive these variations. Perhaps attempting a different game, such as Mass Effect Andromeda, would be beneficial, considering the in-game HDR suffered from issues when I tested it on a Sony X900E, and the Windows 10 HDR implementation had a persistent problem where the desktop became desaturated when HDR was activated.
The issue appears to be largely resolved through installing the newest monitor firmware update, according to Guru3D. They report that this upgrade enabled the display to render most HDR-compatible games utilizing HDR10, and the visual quality was exceptional. Guru3D indicates that the firmware version for the 32-inch variant is currently 1019.2, having previously been 1016.2.
However, the faded appearance of HDR in Windows 10 has largely been corrected by a Windows 10 update implemented last autumn. Therefore, it's advisable to ensure you have the most recent Windows 10 version (Build 1809, version 17763.253) to ensure games run properly with HDR – although this is less probable now that the firmware update has been applied.
To determine your Windows version, type “cmd” into the search bar, then enter "winver" in the command prompt and press Enter.
The system’s display remains muted, despite a recent software update and utilizing the latest Windows 10 version. I've attached two images to illustrate this issue:

When evaluating a picture with High Dynamic Range (HDR) alongside one without, the higher-resolution image undeniably appears significantly richer in color. While it might not be an ideal scene to illustrate this, there are definitely discernible distinctions. I'm utilizing a 1080p IPS screen with Cool Color Filter lighting. You would likely observe these differences even more prominently on a 4K HDR-compatible VA panel display, due to its superior contrast capabilities.
You claim you possess a suitable monitor with correctly configured settings and appropriate cables, yet it’s likely an issue on your side if you aren't perceiving these differences. Perhaps experimenting with a different game, such as Mass Effect Andromeda, would be beneficial—I encountered problems with its in-game HDR implementation on a Sony X900E, and Windows 10 HDR initially suffered from a desktop color distortion when activated, alongside occasional game crashes triggered by pressing the Esc key while HDR was running. Despite these issues, the visual quality within the ship itself remained impressive and readily apparent.
Could you specify the exact manufacturer and model of your display? I’d be happy to examine its documentation and compare notes regarding the settings you're employing. Some monitors require specific configurations for proper HDR performance, which aren’t always straightforward to determine. For instance, on my Sony X900E, surprisingly, not a single Crutchfield employee could identify the necessary settings—even after I demonstrated them through a YouTube video showcasing the relevant menu options, they remained unresponsive. Therefore, thoroughly verify your settings and be skeptical of advice from so-called expert sales representatives.
