G'day,
Well its time I asked the wise people here about this.
I recently discovered that Nvidia drivers are broken when it comes to Wide color gamut and HDR. It is broken as a whole but also in Flight Sim.
So I found when watching video on the HTPC:Latest Nvidia driver:
WCG only works in RGB 8bit dithered FULL and TV in Black level low. this results in bad black crush. (approx 92%of DCI-P3)
HDR auto switching doesn't work.
Driver from February:
WCG works fine as it should in 4:2:2 12bit Limited and TV in Black level low. Great shadow detail. (approx 98%of DCI-P3 using the TV's full capability)
HDR auto switching works.
In FS2020.
Switch Windows to HDR ON:
- HDR works in Flight sim but only displays Rec-709 color
Switch HDR off in Windows:
- HDR is off in Flight sim and color is output in DCI-P3.
So in a nutshell you can't have HDR and wide color gamut at the same time, this should be the essence of HDR.
All confirmed with actual measurements.I can confirm its not to do with the TV as it behaved the same on the projector.
So I wonder if anyone can confirm this with actual measurements as I am quite certain many of you don't even realize that you are not seeing wide color gamut at all.
