![]() ![]() Last time when told to use HDR10 the game told Windows to use it's HDR engine to process the video and convert it from SDR to HDR10. ![]() So, the game knows to display Dolby Vision and that Windows HDR setting is turned off. The game does this because if it tried to change the video to Dolby Vision and Windows HDR was turned on then the signal going out though the HDMI cable would be confused not knowing to listen to the game saying to be in Dolby Vision or to listen to Windows saying to be in HDR10 and this, naturally, would effectively ruin the video so that why the game check to see if it's off. The game now knows it's supposed to be in Dolby Vision mode so it checks to see if Windows HDR is turned on in the settings, which it's not. The little indicator in the top right corner is now saying Dolby Vision and I double check in the TV's video settings and it does say it's in the Dolby Vision display mode. I go the HDR toggle which is currently on SDR and switch it to the Dolby Vision toggle and press ok. I use the controller to go to the game's settings and then I chose video settings again. So, again I have the game on the TV and my blank Windows desktop on the laptop screen. I open up the game again, and again it's being displayed on the TV screen, and I exit the settings. I use my laptop, displaying on the laptop screen not the TV, to open the Windows 11 settings and I go to the video settings. So, now I use the controller to exit out of the game. But because the TV is currently on SDR it needs to turn off then back on but this time in HDR10 mode, then it let's me know, the viewer, what mode it's in by the indicator in the corner of the screen stating, "HDR10". So, the HDR10 content is distributed through the HDMI cable to the TV and, my TV a least, is able to automatically detect that the image is HDR. So, what's happening here is the game is told to be in HDR10 mode so the game checks to see if HDR is turned on the the Windows settings and because it is the game tells Windows to use it's HDR, the HDR10, to convert it's own video into HDR10 and Windows does just that. I even go into the TV's settings to double check the display mode and it is indeed HDR10, great. The screen turns blank for a second and then turns back on but now the TV indicates in the top right conner that it's now displaying HDR10. It's currently on the SDR toggle so I switch it from no HDR to the one that says HDR10 and press ok. I go to the game's settings and go to video then to HDR. Then I use the controller to controller the game on the TV. I take my PS4 controller and turn it on and it automatically connects. ![]() So, I have the game playing on the TV screen and my blank Windows desktop on my laptop screen. I then boot up Mass Effect: Andromeda, which is a game that supports both Dolby Vision and Windows native HDR being HDR10. The content itself has to support it.įor example, let's say I have everything hooked up like the way I described, with the one exception being HDR is turned on in the Windows 11 Settings. So, in no way shape or form will you be able to get your Google tabs in Dolby Vision or your File Explorer in Dolby Vision or whatever it may be. But when your running a program that has Dolby Vision then your PC isn't using the Windows video settings, it's using using its own. Now why do we turn off HDR? Because here's the scoop, you may want to sit down for this one, Windows 11 can't display Dolby Vision. Also in the setting, very important, turned off HDR. In the Windows 11 settings I have the display set to, "extend these displays". But in any case, for this to work you'll need a good cable) to my 4K HDR Dolby Vision compatible Vizio 2021 TV (not trying to flex just making the details crystal clear). I have my laptop connected to a HDMI cable (a $40 cable capable of 4K HDR 120fps at the very least. Here is my example set up which I have tested a tried myself: I have a Alienware m17 laptop running Windows 11 and I have many Dolby Laboratories programs, one of which is the one in this video. But to explain how it works here's my best example. But, considering I did get it to work, I can't be that far of the mark so it should be fairly accurate.ĭolby Vision on Windows is a little tricky. This is literally me calling it as I see it. I going to admit it right now, I am probably not 100% right. It might be a tad long if your really not that interested so I have a pretty well summed up version in the TL DR at the bottom. So, I've done my best to give the most extensive in depth explanation this best I could to my knowledge. I've seen a lot a people confessed about Dolby Vision within Windows 11, though this technically also would apply to Window 10 as well. ![]()
