Why image turn Gray when HDR is enabled?Updated 3 months ago
To make HDR work, both your monitor and computer need to have HDR turned on. If only one of them is set to HDR, the colors on the monitor might get messed up, often looking gray.
Enable HDR on Your Monitor
1. Press the menu button on your monitor.
2. Find Color or Display settings.
3. Look for HDR and switch it On/Auto (some monitors turn HDR on automatically).
Turn On HDR on a Windows PC
1. Make sure both your monitor and graphics card support HDR.
2. Use HDMI 2.0/2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4. to connect the devices.
3. Enable HDR in Windows Settings.
- Go to Settings > System > Display.
- If you have multiple monitors, select the one you want to adjust.
- Scroll down and turn on Use HDR.
4. Fine-Tune HDR Settings
- Click HDR Settings under the toggle to adjust brightness and color.
5. Keep Your Drivers Updated: Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date to avoid compatibility issues.
Turn On HDR on a macOS
1. Make Sure Your Mac and Monitor Support HDR.
2. Enable HDR
- Go to Apple Menu > System Settings > Displays.
- Select your monitor and turn HDR on.
- Adjust Brightness if Needed.
3. If HDR makes the screen dim, try adjusting the brightness manually. Some MacBooks automatically lower brightness with HDR on, but turning HDR off and back on might help.
