HDR interactions between Windows and MC settings
sirkus:
Thanks for the details, it confirms something I was suspecting with the colors :), it's my first HDR display and calibration, but... it was not exactly my question.
I own Calman and Calman client which are able to control my projector through DDC (I didn't know that) and madVR (I didn't know that, too). In theory, from what I understand I can change calibration profiles more-or-less on the fly. I don't know if it works as expected.
I have just asked if MC could possibly support the management when OS HDR is "on" in Windows. It's now a standard Windows settings. Let the user choose. Maybe I don't need it. It's a Windows feature at the end, I will see what I do with it. It's boring to play with on/off manually in Windows settings and I have got a satisfactory balance for daily use (for pure movies, we will see). As it was said previously, I don't say that we can't do all in madVR, I just would like something more clear and user friendly. If it was simply supported, I wouldn't have to spent my time explaining my problems :) But anyway, thanks for the explanations.
tij:
well ... MC does not directly control HDR setting ... it does it through madVR
so if madVR support what you want ... MC will ... so asking madVR forums will likely get you more results than asking here ... madshi is pretty busy now though between his Envy and trying to perfect HDR tone mapping
mattkhan provided link to avs forum ... thats were madshi is most active now ... you can ask ppl there to help you setup projector for best hdr experience

as I mention before … for video watching … it is best practice to leave Windows HDR off … and let MadVR switch HDR when needed

It obviously works perfectly for me the only problem i have is that when i watch a hdr movie my lg OLED switches in hdr mode BUT when i stop and return to theaterview my display stays in HDR mode making theaterview look horrible until I play a non-hdr file.
Am I missing something ... should it not revert to SDR for theaterview ??
Hendrik:
Are you using "Back" or "Stop" to return from your movie to Theater View?
If you only press Back, the movie only gets paused, as such madVR is still on. If you press Stop, madVR would be shut down, and hopefully return your system to SDR mode.
tij:
By the way ... MadVR HDR tone mapping (even one supplied with MC) is WAAAAY superior to LG tone mapping (at least on my E6 with latest update).
LG tone mapping on my LG changes hue/color in certain vey bright scenes ... madshi is very specific in his tone mapping algorithms not to change hue
If you have Harry Potter Deathly Hallow Part 2 ... look at train station scene ... light is very bright there and suppose to have reddish highlights ... my LG E6 changes hue of that to greenish/yellowish while attempting to reduce its brightness within limits it can display
