Hello,
I upgraded to MC33 since Netflix broke surround sound on older versions of MC (and also on their own MS Store app, such a wise move, I almost cancelled my sub) and it has been mostly great... except for HDR.
What happens is that I toggle HDR on in Windows, start MC33 > Theatre View > Netfix > start a show that is listed as having HDR... and I get a totally washed out image, like the video is in the background and faded out.
Toggling HDR off, restores a correct picture... but with SDR limitations of course. I don't have any issue getting HDR to work elsewhere on this machine, including Netflix on Edge or the MS Store app (but stereo sound, no thanks).
I had this on Win 11 23H2, I upgraded to 24H2 and nothing has changed. Also tried nvidia drivers 560 and 565 so far.
Has anyone else experienced this, and maybe found some kind of workaround?
(setup: Win 11 24H2, RTX 4090, LG OLED CX - don't think anything else matters)

Get HDR working outside Netflix first.
jmone has posted about his experiences.

I have no issue with HDR outside of Netflix though. I use it for games or UHD blu-rays without any hiccup.
Edit: have narrowed it down a bit, so when using the browser version or the MS Store app, I get the same faded out view initially (while the video is shown in a small window) until I hit the button to maximise the window - then the fade out effect disappears and I get correct colours.
When using Theatre View, it starts in fullscreen... but apparently not really, and the button to maximize/minimize the window does nothing at all - keeping it stuck in this faded out state.
Edit2: yea it's very glitchy... pressed the window key to check something on Firefox then tabbed back into Theatre View and the fade out effect was gone. A workaround of sorts!
