So, I'm new to Red October HQ/madvr using MC 25.0.45. I have MKV ripped BR movies (not yet into 4K UHD), and playing them back on an HTPC with an I5-9600K, 32GB, GTX-1070 setup to lay the groundwork.

It appears that playing back movies to my 1080P projector using JR/Red October Standard, the black levels and overall picture look great - the same as when playing the movies from my Oppo 103 from disk or ripped backup.

When I select JR/Red October HQ (and no other modifications) and playback, the same video appears washed out with blacks and shadow detail lost to dark gray and colors not as intense.

In this scenario, would I be required to recalibrate at the least brightness, contrast, saturation and hue because of madvr/Nvidia? I was under the impression that simply changing to RO-HQ would be all that was needed with no further changes to get started.

Had same problem long time ago … from what I remember

Go to Nvidia Control Panel -> Display -> Change Resolution

Select [Use NVIDIA color settings] … make sure [Output dynamic range] is set to "Full" … that did the trick for me

… since you are there make sure you using RGB or YCbCr444 … otherwise its pointless to use MadVR

Thanks, tij, that did the trick, just needed to establish the matching dynamic range in Nvidia.
