The image looks washed out because SDR and HDR content displays very differently. Doesn’t have shyt to do with your TV settings.
Again MICROSOFT THEMSELVES SAY TO TURN HDR OFF UNLESS YOU ARE VIEWING HDR CONTENT.
I’m not making it up. It’s literally what it says on the Microsoft support site because millions of people have noticed, complained, and reported problems to Microsoft about it.
You saying you figured out something millions of people and even Microsoft can’t themselves???
In some games it does. Actually in most games if you don’t have HDR turned on in windows, then there isn’t even an option to turn it on within the game.
Only game recently that you have to have HDR OFF in windows is Shekiro.
And with that said if you adjust your set to make Batman look good with HDR turned on, then when you play Sekiro which is correctly displaying HDR then you have to readjust the colors to make it look right.
The brightness setting yes. The overall windows color settings no, and you were talking about adjusting your TV which absolutely don’t change depending on if you have HDR set to on or off in windows. As far as your tv knows it’s all HDR as that’s the signal it’s getting, so if you adjust the colors on your tv, those settings will stay the same no matter what content you are viewing on your PC.
And this is the only way you are actually viewing HDR content. That other mess your were talking about is silly.
