Trouble using Windows HDR? It might be because of your monitor.
HDR is great when it works, especially on an OLED, but it's pretty annoying when it doesn't work. How many of you have tried calibrating with Windows HDR Calibration, and end up getting a worse image in HDR? There's a reason why, and it's not your fault.
Many monitors these days tone map on their own, so, when combined with Windows HDR Calibration, you're getting double tone mapping (from your PC and from the monitor). This makes the image dimmer than intended. Has anyone noticed this after trying to calibrate their monitor with Windows HDR? What solutions have you done to fix this?
