Dillon:
same issue using JRVR

darker picture - any adjustments on anything other than the nvidia brightness or Windows HDR settings will give a washed out artifcially brightned image.

nvidia's adjust video color settings kind of works but it's buggy and seems to change the settings on its own

only thing i can do for now is manually adjust the brighness in the nvidia control panel when i want to watch a movie

tij:
Are you using Windows HDR? ... try turning that off

Dillon:
tried that, didnt get a decent picture and i dont like the HDR switching.

it looks best when i boost nvidia's contrast settings but they revert back to their defaults every time i restart a movie .
I read color management has something to do with this but i havent found a fix so far

tij:
Not sure what is exactly your set up ... so what follows is my guess

First, I dont think adjusting gamma and so on on NVidia settings is correct way to adjust picture quality ... that setting should be set to "with the video player settings"

My guess one of the following is mismatching: NVidia [output dynamic range], MadVR [the display expects the following RGB output levels], your display/projector corresponding setting

Most ppl use 0-255 setting in their chain ... so that would be Nvidia "full",  MadVR "PC levels (0-255)", usually "PC mode" for display/projector (name varies with manufacturers)

As for "HDR switching" ... besides using MadVR for upscaling, people use MadVR for HDR tone mapping - which does not use "HDR switching" ... read this to get basic understanding of HDR

i wound up turning off the nvidia settings and using windows 11 HDR and JRVR
it seemed to work a lil better than madvr and I don't hear my fans from my pc with HDR movies

turning on dynamic black on my optoma uhd 38 projector helped a lil bit getting the brightness back but causes flicker on some scenes
The nvidia settings still looks better but then some scenes you see a slight loss of detail
