Question XV273k windows HDR

[Fuyukazehime]

When I enable HDR in Windows, everything becomes washed out looking. I notice that the monitor has an ALWAYS ON tone mapping. Does anyone know of a way to turn it off? I'd LOVE to be able to calibrate my Windows HDR experience so it's usable. The big issue I notice is that because you can't calibrate it yourself you're stuck with whatever the hardware tone mapper deems is best and I end up with a TOO DARK experience on gaming and movies.

This app does the trick for me:

Get Windows HDR Calibration from the Microsoft Store

This app lets you calibrate your HDR display to optimize it for HDR games (including Auto HDR) and other HDR content on your Windows 11 PC. Go through a series of steps to set the minimum and maximum brightness levels, as well as color saturation level, to create a new color profile that's made...

The monitor has built-in hardware tone mapping. You cannot use software to calibrate it. I need to find a way to turn off the monitor's automatic tone mapping bullcrap.
