This brief guide shows how to turn on or off HDR ( high dynamic range) video streaming in Windows 11. If you are a beginner or a new user and want to turn on or off HDR video streaming in your Windows 11 system then this short tutorial is useful and handy for you.
HDR content on Windows offers better brightness and color capabilities compared to traditional content (sometimes called standard dynamic range [SDR] content). Traditional content typically shows details in a bright part of a scene or a darker part of a scene, but not in both parts at the same time. For example, if the shot focuses on a bright window in the scene, details in the shadow are lost.
HDR can show a wider range of colors and light and more details in between the extremes. Colors are more vivid and unique in HDR content. Additionally, bright parts of a scene are brighter while dark parts can be darker, so you get to see all the details.
Not all displays are optimized for HDR video. If you have two displays and move the HDR video onto a display that’s not optimized for HDR video, you’ll get the appropriate standard dynamic range (SDR) video stream as soon as new content starts to play.
When you are ready, follow the steps below to enable or disable HDR( high dynamic range) video streaming in Windows 11 system.
