December 26, 20214 yr Hi all. I have a new Acer X38S monitor. I absolutely love it. It is rated for HDR600. In my windows system I have HDR turned on in display settings. But when I go into the sim the HDR10 option is grayed out. I don't know what else to do since HDR is turned on for the monitor in Windows 11. Any suggestions as to what's going on? Thanks..........

December 26, 20214 yr Author OK, so once I restarted my whole machine the sim let me turn on HDR10. When I turn on HDR in Windows, I see a big difference on the monitor (a good one). But when I turn on HDR in the sim, I don't see any change in the screen image. What would I expect to see, if anything?

December 26, 20214 yr Do you have an Nvidia card? I'm pretty sure there is a setting in the Nvidia control panel you have to turn on.
December 26, 20214 yr I use a HDR TV. Just make sure Windows HDR is on and then the in game setting. That is all you have to do. When Windows HDR is on the desktop should look awful as I believe the windows UI itself is not rendered in HDR. You have to adjust the SDR setting on the HDR settings menu to adjust to your liking. The sim probably will not look that much different. In my case a little more vibrant and obviously more dynamic range in the image. I use Windows 11 and the HDR seems better supported than it was in W10. If you have HDR on in Windows but not in the sim, the sim colours will be totally oversaturated and bright.

December 26, 20214 yr HDR in gaming is hit or miss with how it's implemented by the developer. MSFS is subtle but very effective. Then there are games like RDR2 where the HDR is down right embarassingly dreadful ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING / i9-9900k @ 4.7 all cores w/ NOCTUA NH-D15S / 2080ti / 32GB G.Skill 3200 RIPJAWS / 1TB Evo SSD / 500GB Evo SSD / 2x 3TB HDD / CORSAIR CRYSTAL 570X / IPSG 850W 80+ PLATINUM / Dual 4k Monitors
December 27, 20214 yr With HDR on in MSFS, the menus will look washed out and it will only look good once you are in your plane. Take a look at http://ltroyalshrimp.com/how-to-properly-setup-hdr10-output-on-windows-10/ for How to properly setup 10-bit output on Windows 10 for HDR. MSFS is the only game I use HDR in and it is subtle. I see the difference in the shadows on the side of a mountain or hill. Gives it more depth and well just looks better to me. 9950X3D, PNY 5090, 64GB DDR5 6000, MSI X870-P, GIGABYTE AORUS Gen5 2TB NVMe, 3440x1440 AW3423DW gsync ultimate.
