Yo Dmitry what's up I'm really sorry about the update update what
update ah the windows update so I feel like we've all been there deferring
Windows updates because of many reasons but the latest fall creators update
build 1803 supposedly has fixed a lot of
issues surrounding HDR so let's revisit the topic make sure to check out our
original video on HDR here but yeah let's revisit topic talk about the
desktop environment and the gaming environment with HDR with the latest
Windows Update to see if it is satisfactory right after this are you
ready okay watch this
so that is what the components must feel like inside the H 500 P managed by
Coolermaster check it out in the description below so my HDR experience
originally began with the LG 27 UK 850 it's an awesome display supports HDR10
spec and supposed to deliver a brighter and the more vibrant picture but my
experience with this whole HDR thing was not satisfactory for many reasons not
because of the display but because of Windows potentially driver updates and
game updates too so I experienced a common pink issue where the screen would
be covered in this pink overlay as soon as the HDR would be turned on that was a
windows issue so that's been solved the desktop could also be way too dim for
regular operation outside of like consuming HDR content originally so now
that's also been solved and for games I had strange artifacts with colours HDR
would simply not engage and exiting a non HDR game would sometimes turn HDR on
my desktop all those issues have now been fixed with this build
18:03 and to expand my sample size for HDR panels we have the 38 wk 95 C from
LG it's also an HDR10 panel and I've tested both Intel and Ryzen systems
along with nvidia and AMD graphics cards to see if HDR plays better on one or the
other and so with the latest 1803 build enabling HDR on the desktop gives us
proper bright image and now we have brightness slider for SDR content we
didn't have this before this means you can adjust the brightness of your
desktop or if you're watching something on YouTube that's not HDR you still get
that proper brightness levels on those videos the hiccup however is Chrome for
some reason and how the browser is basically gray instead of white and that
reflects also on SD our videos but it still weirdly supports HDR playback and
display that super bright and vibrant image through Chrome one of those HDR
examples would be Austin's iPhone 10 review which is absolutely stunning well
done and so this chrome hiccup is kind of annoying because if you want to have
HDR enabled on the desktop by default all the time you will need to use
Firefox that the displays all the content properly
without having it too dim Netflix and HDR is fantastic which is one of the
reasons why you potentially want to keep HDR on the desktop on all the time so
you don't have to go back and forth of enabling it and disabling it because you
cannot assign HDR turning on by app just yet I'm sure that will come soon but HDR
on Netflix is absolutely incredible and there's so many good HDR shows that I
would say deliver a superior image in HDR versus SDR and one of the reasons
why you want to consider an HDR monitor and so HDR 10 displays have their space
in the market to push HDR content but to really fully utilize the potential you
definitely have to go with Dolby vision and OLED displays because that is the
future of HDR now the gaming experience visually is basically the same but now
without all the bugs which is awesome now I've been kind of hesitant to
recommend HDR panels for gamers because the list of HDR supported titles is
pretty short but the triple-a titles now pretty much all of them will support HDR
so you know Far Cry 5b f1 the shadow of war destiny 2 and the color experience
through all of these titles is basically identical but I want to clear out this
misconception or the faulty assumption that you'll get deeper blacks color
accurate image and what are some higher contrast with HDR because that has been
not the case for me actually it's been exactly the opposite in my experience
now sure the picture is more vibrant and brighter as that's boosted to 100% by
default in HDR but you don't get more dynamic range from the game you just
kind of see more shadow area because they are lifted like in this be f1 scene
but mainly it's all about that color pop that could make the experience better so
far cry 5 for me is too bright and I like the less punchy colors of SDR but
destined to an HDR looks fantastic with appropriate color boost and extra detail
in this whole like cartoony environment and the same with Assassin's Creed
origins that game in HDR is colorful and just absolutely awesome but I would
advise from playing during the darker conditions to close to the display
because it is just way too bright and I'm just worried about like my eyes
hurting after a while now some games allow luminance adjustment like in bf1
and a co but for color changes you can cycle between picture profiles from the
monitor itself also some games allow you to turn HDR on in the settings even
choose between HDR 10 or dolby vision depending on the game and some enabled
it by default based on the desktop color space and I'm happy to report I've had
zero bugs with HDR and gaming so jumping back into bf1 it remembers my HDR
settings but exiting back into Windows that is not HDR disables HDR and there
is no that color cycling between back and forth so that's awesome it seems
like both Nvidia and AMD have been on top of their driver support also Windows
updates solved for majority of those things too so if you are considering in
the HDR display now potentially now is the time now in case you're wondering
performance difference between HDR and SDR is not significant only a few frames
lower on average with HDR turned on and for me personally once I tried out HDR
with certain games like this thing to is fantastic Assassin's Creed origins I
cannot go back to SDR just looks too flat and not saturated enough or vibrant
enough for me to experience the same gameplay and so really this whole update
with the build 1803 definitely is a huge point for HDR
to drive that whole acceptance forward because many people in our original
video are saying that it could be potentially because my Ryzen system may
be the monitor was faulty maybe my graphics cards were something
was happening with them but in fact it was just all windows-based issues that
have now been resolved and the HDR experience as a whole is a lot more
complete than before now what excites me the most when it comes to gaming with
this whole high dynamic range stuff is g-sync
HDR because their panels are going to be reaching that a thousand dense
brightness for a spec which is still way too bright you gonna have to tone it
down in order to not burn your retinas but they're approaching it from like
true blacks or like deep blacks quantum dot panels so that
is where things going to get really exciting for you know delivering a
beautiful deep contrast the image that's still vibrant is bright and you can see
all the detail without needing to sort of lift the shadow stuff that we
normally see with these panels with HDR 10 so g-sync HDR is super exciting and
yeah I'm just looking forward to playing around with it myself too but I'm
curious to hear what your experience has been like with HDR have you played any
games did you like the color just like the contrast and you know once I started
playing HDR on Netflix on these panels I just cannot go back to anything else it
just looks so vibrant and rich and colors and the whole idea is when you
enable those HDR profiles the monitor doesn't dynamically calibrate based on
the areas it's just kind of like a filter but that filter is also as a
secondary layer pre applied to the source footage the way the artist
intended for you to look at HDR10 content so it's not based on the monitor
specs of like how they perceive HDR to look it's more like taking that
information and displaying how the artist wanted you to see it I hope that
makes sense yeah join the wireless club with Corsairs new dark core Mouse play

alright guys so that is it for my HDR update it's working fine there are no
bugs so make sure to check out this other relevant content subscribe to our
