Game "HDR" Looks Washed Out
4.5
When you turn on HDR, the colors look gray and faded instead of vibrant.
Symptoms
- Gray colors
- Faded image
- Low contrast
Possible Causes
- Windows HDR settings
- Low peak brightness monitor
- Bad HDMI cable
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Run Windows HDR Calibration
Download the official Microsoft tool from the Store.
2
Check Monitor Settings
Ensure "HDR" is enabled in the monitor's physical OSD menu.
3
Use a High-Speed HDMI Cable
HDR requires a lot of bandwidth (HDMI 2.0 or 2.1).
When to See a Technician
Cheap "HDR400" monitors often look worse with HDR enabled because they aren't bright enough.
