Windows 10: Help with HDR on external monitor

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but I figured I'd give it a shot.

So I bought a new monitor that supports HDR. My laptop has a gpu that also supports HDR, I made sure to check. But when the monitor is connected to my laptop(through HDMI) there is no option to enable HDR and says it's not supported. I can enable it on my laptop tho. I'm not very tech savvy so what am I missing?

My laptop is a Dell XPS 15 9500 4k with a Nvidia gtx 1650 ti and the monitor is the Dell 32in curved Gaming monitor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent many any hours trying to figure this out.

Setting up HDR on external monitor

Hi just got an HDR capable monitor, a
U2718q, and am using an HDR capable GPU (GeForce 1070). However, Windows 10 doesn't seem to recognize it as an HDR capable display. I followed the guide

HDR and advanced color settings in Windows 10, and it says that HDR is not supported. Any idea how to fix that? It's an HDR capable monitor, hooked up via DisplayPort to an HDR capable GPU. I'm running Windows 10 Pro Version 1709, OS Build 16299.64 (just
updated it today), and also have the latest graphics card driver.

Any ideas what to do?

 

HDR on HDR monitor causes issue on secondary, non-HDR monitor

I have an Aorus AD27QD (HDR) monitor as my primary display and an ultrawide 34UM88-P (Non-HDR) as my secondary. If HDR is enabled in windows and I go to a full screen video on the non-HDR monitor after a few seconds it will flicker blue then become severely
washed out. Coming out of full screen fixes this. If HDR is not enabled full screen shows the colors perfectly normally.

Secondarily, with windows HDR on on the Aorus, the colors dim pretty drastically. HDR content great but anything that isnt HDR is dim enough to make me question if my brightness is turned down. (Its not, its 90/100). The white of a plain browser window
seems so dim its nearly grey. I also tested this on what I know is a particularly vibrant (non-HDR) . HDR on? Terrible and muted. HDR off? Bright and vibrant.

I have played with in-monitor settings, nvidia control panel, factory reset of monitor, basically everything I can think of. Everything points to it being a windows issue.

I also tried out the suggestions from this post. And it pointed me to this
set of OS release notes which didnt solve my issue either.

I could really use some help because I am really feeling like I wasted my money on this monitor.

Setting up HDR on external monitor

For the issue to be sorted out. We highly suggest that you get in touch with your video card manufacturer and check if your HDR monitor is compatible with it. This would determine where the issue is coming from. They can also tell you the things to be done.

If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to post it on this forum.
