  1. W10 HDR Either Dark Or Grayed Out Colors


    So im using a TV with W10 in HDR, all the SDR content is too dark and if i use HDR brightness slider in w10 then the darks get boosted for no reason and there is too much visible gradient banding and artifacts in SDR content

    Also The colors look way off when i adjust the HDR - SDR Brightness , the SDR content looks Grayish if i turn up the Brightness, I can use the Dynamic Contrast on my TV to help with Grayish colors a bit but that kills the shadow details

    Is there any other way to make the SDR images brighter without these problems ?

    HDR mode and color profiles

    Hello

    I have a calibrated ICC profile for normal sRGB mode. When i switch to HDR mode, it still using the calibrated profile, and giving weird colors and white balance.

    I have tried to add a Rec.2020 HDR profile to ICC-profile (Advance color) list in color management. But I can´t use it at standard colors in HDR mode. Nothing happens when i try to applied it.

    So to be clear:

    In normal mode I want to use calibrated icc profile for sRGB.

    And in HDR mode, using the standard REC.2020 icc profile.

  4. W10 HDR Either Dark Or Grayed Out Colors

    Start menu color becomes dark and font color wont change in Windows 10

    I just got my Upgrade yesterday and im quite happy with the performance.

    As soon as I opened "start" i saw colors of tiles becoming dark step by step.. eventually becoming to blackish blue.. only the icon remains not changed.

    It does go back to original colors if I open "start" after 1 min but they again turns into dark.

    Other thing i noticed was the color of font. Its gray and remains gray no matter what color i choose for Start theme.

    This is not only limited to tiles, if I open "all applications", on first open the color is okay but becomes dark again.

    and with the gray color of font, it makes everything unreadable.

    For example, if i choose color "#800000" for start, the tiles become color "#190000"..

    So, I dont know if anyone else is also facing this issue or not but its quite annoying that you cant read and and ugly that color becomes dark like that..
