Windows HDR Calibration

HDR is a bit hit-or-miss on Windows, as there are cases where your monitor may be perfectly capable of displaying an HDR image correctly, but the signal isn't properly configured at the OS level, therefore leading to a subpar presentation. Windows HDR Calibration is Microsoft's effort to provide a tool that helps users calibrate HDR-ready monitors to optimize them for general use.

The program's aim is to enable users to get the most out of their HDR experience. In the absence of a built-in tool under the Display Settings panel to help one correctly set up their display for High Dynamic Range content, such a solution is indeed welcome.

There's no experience requirement before delving in. The application's wizard approach simplifies user experience, assisting you through each step to pick the right settings for your needs.

Some such settings include setting minimum and maximum brightness levels, as well as color saturation management, in order to create a profile that will be used exclusively for HDR content.

This content also includes HDR games, regardless of whether they support Auto HDR or not, so users will thus be able to create individual profiles to take full advantage of their monitor's dynamic range in any type of content.
