October 16, 20214 yr Hey guys ! . I've been enabling HDR since I started playing DCS and IL2, and then X-plane too... Although my monitors are not HDR ready, when I enable HDR as an option on one of these sims, I get the idea there are some effects that really come to play, and make it look better this is surely true about X-Plane where some features are actually only available (such as some types of AA ) when HDR is enabled, but, question is, does it make sense since my monitor doesn't make it ?

October 16, 20214 yr DO you mean HDR in w10 ? i think it's mostly for video playback but i am not 100% sure. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
October 16, 20214 yr Author Yep, that one, and also In Game... I can enable it in XP11, IL2 and actually in XP11 if I don't do it I get less AA options and not so good effects in the sim... In IL2 it also plays a difference... In MFS the option must be tied to W10 HDR system option, and since W10 says my monitor is not HDR-ready I can't enable it - it's greyed out in MFS ...

October 16, 20214 yr I really don't think it matters , but as i said I am not sure , have never used it. But if there is in-game HDR option then use that. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
October 18, 20214 yr HDR is a terribly overloaded name for a game setting. Its most recent meaning applies to monitors/TVs that support the hardware HDR color range which uses 10 bits of dynamic range. Non HDR has only 8 bits. If a title implements HDR "properly" it should only be an option to enable if the display supports hardware HDR.
