April 7, 20224 yr After putting a screwdriver into my monitor by mistake, I purchased a Samsung Odyssey G7 monitor. It is certified as an HDR600 monitor with 10bit colour. I was immediately impressed with HDR in MSFS. The sky and haze realism has gone up a notch with the extra peak brightness headroom.

Just imagine what an OLED looks like 😉
April 7, 20224 yr For me the new monitor did away with the totally blown highlights for clouds etc - I still use the old screen for second monitor aka charts or skyvector - but i can tell when i look at my images how screwed up they look hehe. To think i was editing real photos on that thing for 10 years...ewwww. probably should have bought a calibrator. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

April 7, 20224 yr I turned HDR off again, somehow I did never really like it, either too bright, too dark or seamingly wrong display on the 2D windows screens. Even after using several calibration approaches and matching the colours as close as possible between non-HDR and HDR setup, I still dont like this extreme brightness. And I do not want to fiddle around with the monitor settings for each and every application I use. So for no, no HDR for me.

HDR wasn't in my purchasing plans but Tim said in the video, 'another option I would strongly consider..is the Samsung Odyssey G7'. I looked at a few reviews and wondered what HDR would be like in MSFS, so purchased it. Now I have experienced HDR, I would absolutely spend the extra to go all the way to HDR10 for the next monitor.

And I do not want to fiddle around with the monitor settings for each and every application I use. So for no, no HDR for me. That is interesting, because I had never considered HDR because of the negative experiences like yours. I have Windows 11, and read HDR management had been improved, so was happy to try it. For me, HDR has been a 'set it and forget it' experience'. In MSFS I had been using 4 separate GEForce Experience filters to get the brightness, colours and shadows to look realistic to my eyes. With HDR on, MSFS looks better with no filters applied. Brightness, contrast, shadows and colour all look spot on to me. The extra brightness helps the sky and haze look more realistic. Windows itself, and all my Steam games, look great by default. In fact my Steam games look great with 'Auto HDR' turned on in Windows display settings. Do you use Windows 11 or did you experience HDR under Windows 10?

April 7, 20224 yr HDR looks great during daytime flights, but at night I can really notice the zone backlight turning on and off, which is rather distracting. Zone backlighting is a “feature” of non-OLED monitors. However, once Alienware comes out with their 38 inch widescreen OLED monitor I’ll be back into HDR full time. The current 34 inch is tempting but I can’t go back down in size. I just can’t!

April 7, 20224 yr I must admit that I have found the sky a bit too bright with HDR but turning down my brightness and playing with contrast in the Nvidia control panel has helped with this.

Tried it on a OLED C1 and, no issues anymore. Proper HDR 1000!
April 7, 20224 yr I have HDR400 and it is well worth having on. Only issue I had was recording as not all recording software can handle HDR content very well.
