Happy new year to everyone!
Does anyone know a VNC server/client to manage an HDR screen from an SDR client?
I recently jumped on the HDR bandwagon with a new 4K HDR TV and HTPC. Windows 11 HDR support is great, and I have HDR permanently enabled even on Windows desktop. Movies look awesome, and other apps just work.
The problem is with VNC - I use it to manage the HTPC from my laptop when the TV is off (or to quickly change some setting while a movie is playing), but the laptop is SDR and VNC doesn't do any tonemapping. Apps with dark themes work fine, but any light/high-contrast window is completely washed out as seen below. MadVR is borderline unreadable. MC posters also look quite wrong, but that's secondary as all I need is to be able to read what's on screen. I've tried TightVNC, RealVNC and UltraVNC.
