NoPantsBatman · Jun 16, 2022

Hello,I'm trying to calibrate the HDR on my PC, but I can't seem to find the option "Display calibration for HDR video".I was following the instructions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/calibrate-your-built-in-display-for-hdr-content-in-windows-de1c66fa-6cc0-b327-e73a-1bac6bd46bc0#WindowsVersion=Windows_11 Either I'm doing something wrong and that option is under a different name or something is wrong with my Windows 11 installation.Can someone help me with this?Thank you in advance.

The Windows HDR Calibration app will soon be coming to PCs

When viewing HDR content on Windows, whether gaming, creating content or watching a movie, we all want to have a great experience. But, in some cases (particularly on displays without HDR certification), the displayed content is sometimes brighter than the maximum supported brightness of your display or darker than the minimum supported brightness. This causes a “clipping” effect where you won’t see any detail in the highlights or the shadows of a scene.

We know how frustrating this can be, and we heard your feedback and requests to bring the Xbox HDR Game Calibration app to Windows. In a not-so-distant future, you will be able to improve color accuracy and consistency of your HDR display via the upcoming Windows HDR Calibration app.

The app will be available on the Microsoft Store and will run on HDR-capable displays. Just like on Xbox, the Windows HDR Calibration app will feature three test patterns (recommended by the HDR Gaming Interest Group (HGIG) for a better HDR gaming experience):

One to determine the darkest visible detail you can see

One to determine the brightest visible detail

And finally, one to determine how bright your display can be

Certified displays (by any of the certification programs mentioned here) typically work better out of the box without necessarily needing calibration, but you should still consider using the Windows HDR Calibration app on your HDR display.

If you are on the Windows Insiders Dev channel, you may have noticed a new section “HDR display calibration” under System > Display > HDR settings. This is an early access point for the app, but as it is not live yet, it will simply lead you here .

You’ll hear more from us here and on our Twitter account as soon as it becomes live – stay tuned!

Improvements to HDR video experience in Windows 10

Windows HD Color is all about bringing HDR and wide color gamut (WCG) content to your Windows devices. You might already be enjoying HDR video on your Xbox One S and Xbox One X. Now let’s talk about how we’re starting to bring HDR video to your PCs with our most recent updates to Windows 10. For more background on HDR, see our previous blog post.

What’s new with the latest Windows 10 Update?

We’ve made some improvements to your HDR video experience on current generation internal displays.

With Windows 10 April 2018 Update, we’ve focused on expanding access to more laptop devices as well as providing more out-of-the-box HDR video experiences:

1. Expanding access to more and more laptop devices:

Many newer laptop devices are capable of HDR video. However, up until now, they needed to be calibrated in the factory to show HDR. Now, we are expanding HDR video access to more people with new functionality in Settings > Apps > Video playback. If you can turn on “Stream HDR video,” you can calibrate your device for HDR video.

To approximate the calibration that device manufacturers would do in the factory, we’ve also created an experimental calibration tool. To try it out, click the link “Change calibration settings for HDR video on my built-in display.” This changes the way HDR video appears on your device, allowing you to find a preferred balance between details in dark scenes and bright scenes.

We’ll continue to refine this feature moving forward, so please provide any feedback in the Feedback Hub. For more detailed info, check out “Calibrate your built-in display for HDR content in Windows 10” on the Windows website.

2. Giving you more out-of-the-box HDR video experiences on your HDR-capable laptops:

On your HDR-capable Windows 10 laptops, you’ll now get more HDR video experiences right out of the box.

First, many more devices will now have HDR video turned on by default. This means that when HDR video is available, you’ll get the full HDR video experience. If you don’t like the way your video looks, you can use our calibration tool to adjust it. Or you can always opt-out of HDR video by turning off “Stream HDR video” on the Settings page described above.

By default, HDR video uses the full brightness of your screen, so it uses a little more battery. But to protect your device’s battery life, we have disabled HDR video when you’re using your battery by default. You can change this with the check box “Don’t increase display brightness when watching HDR video on battery” under “Battery Options” in Settings > Apps > Video playback. With this, you can choose between getting the highest HDR video quality and maximizing your battery life when enjoying HDR video.

We are also partnering with content providers to ensure that the HDR video they provide works on Windows. We’re happy to announce that Netflix HDR content is available with the Windows 10 Creators Update, and YouTube support is enabled with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

For future releases, we are already working closely with our partners to ensure that once 10-bit, full HDR-capable laptops come to market, Windows can power HDR video on these displays as well. As displays get better and better, our goal is to leverage their new capabilities to give you the best possible image quality.
