HDR settings uniformity is much needed

It kinda works but on the same session you can get a "calibrated" HDR experience with a value of 2700, and once you complete that you try again, and the calibration now gives you a value of 1500 as the best value for your display. It's so random.

I've never seen this, it sounds like you have dynamic tone mapping on. You need to disable that when calibrating otherwise the TV is going to continuously tone map the test patterns.

One of the many things I learned today about the HDR mess!

It only need 2nd monitor disconnected for rtx hdr for games. Rtx hdr for video works fine with multiple monitors connected to the Nvidia gpu.

But I thought NVIDIA added multi monitor support for RTX HDR 3 months ago!

RTX HDR can now be enabled on systems with multiple displays

NVIDIA App Beta Adds G-SYNC Controls, RTX HDR Multi-Monitor Support & More

The essential companion for PC gamers and creators is further enhanced by the addition of new features and user-requested options.

It doesn’t help that this is never explained and it would require understanding a lot more about the HDR pipeline than 99% of people to learn about this lol. We really need more standardization and clarity on gaming HDR.

Frankly after reading about it for a while I still barely understand how all this interacts lol.

Yeah it's a nightmare.

Btw hdr on Android is also shitty, even on Android 15 google pixel 6.

It requires per-app hdr flag. Even chrome doesn't have hdr enabled.

Instagram hdr is region locked

Android and Chome for what? This is misrepresenting. Android TV for Shield is just fine, providing HDR10/HDR10+/DolbyVision without issue. Chrome provides HDR10 on windows just devices just fine for YouTube, KODi, Netflix etc.

Yes, I've been using that with a second monitor attached for months. You may need to check your NVIDIA App version (which is different from the drivers and older NVIDIA App does not seem to auto update itself).

For example, On Google pixel 6 android 15, opening YouTube on Chrome would not have hdr, youTube app have hdr. For example

Android TV is just the OS branch (Android TV, Android watch wear thingy, android automotive, android phones and tablet).

Best OS level hdr experience by far is apple iPad Pro 2, iPhone and mbp. No user intervention required.

Windows is a disaster as always. I don’t envy anyone not into the AV hobby trying to navigate HDR on the PC. Compounded by game devs just making up hdr sliders and terminology on the fly. Good luck everyone.

I don't think Windows is the problem here, nobody even implements the Windows HDR calibration data anyways, even first party MS games use the stupid sliders!

thanks! How do you do that? I am usually fiddling with the display settings but I don't see an option for that on my Samsung TV, nor on my monitor.
