HDRTray

Due to their ability to provide more vibrant and accurate colors or increased contrast, many prefer HDR to SDR when it comes to watching movies or doing various color-sensitive tasks. In fact, some professional such as photographers, for instance, may take advantage of the HDR feature so that they can preview images in different lighting conditions.

HDRTray is a lightweight tool that can simplify things for users who constantly need to toggle the HDR feature on and off. Simply put, the role of the tool is to inform you about the HDR status and you can toggle it on or off by left-clicking on the icon.

Despite the wider palette and accurate representation of the content, not everyone wants to use HDR all the time, especially if it affects performance. If you are a gamer playing an intensive match, you would care more about performance and FPS than accurate representation, for example. Consequently, you go to the Settings and make sure that HDR is off.

The application can come in handy for those who are constantly switching between applications, who can turn the feature on without them knowing. If you feel that the performance of your PC dropped slightly, simply access the tool and find out if HDR is on.
