    How to play YouTube HDR content without turning on Windows HD Colour?


    I have a HDR600 (I know it's not a proper HDR1000) monitor but Windows HD Colour is really awful and I don't want to have it on all the time, but would still like to view HDR videos on YouTube. Is there a way to do this on Chrome (through some kind of extension) or on another browser? For my local media I use MPC-BE with madVR, which automatically turns on the monitor's HDR mode when playing HDR content, even with Windows HD Colour off. Can a browser do something similar?

    How to play YouTube HDR content without turning on Windows HD Colour?

    HDR content in Window 10

    So I have been trying to fix the HDR content on my laptop (Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 2, 4K OLED) because the colours are too saturated (beyond what normal saturation of colours should look like. I even had the entire screen replaced and still no fix.

    Upon inspecting the Windows settings for HDR, I noticed that other users on the internet have more settings available for their HDR content than I do (despite the fact that my settings say "Yes" for all 3 of the "Display Capabilities"). I also noticed that
    the option to calibrate my display for HDR in Windows settings, only appears when I swtich HDR OFF. As soon as I switch HDR back ON, that setting disappears.

    Please could someone guide me, my HDR is too saturated and I do not know how to fix it on my own, I have tried spending hours upon hours looking for a way to fix it - but it seems that I am the only one experiencing an issue like this since no one has posted
    anything about the issue like mine.

    (Please excuse me or the long post, it's one of my first time's using this platform to get help).

    Thanking you in advance for any help How to play YouTube HDR content without turning on Windows HD Colour? :)
