My monitor can do HDR but Windows doesn't recognize HDR?

My ODYS XP32 monitor supposedly supports HDR.

But Windows says the monitor doesn't support HDR.

The hardware is new and can do HDR so what's the problem?

Somehow, the details of the shops are very important for the topic HDR for the monitor.

The manufacturer can’t be selected according to the specification, but its manual is available for both the XP32 (300 luminance) and the XP32 Pro (400 luminance).

Normally, you would need 400 luminance to get into HDR. Therefore, my guess is that the XP32 cannot, because it has too little luminance for HDR, but the XP32 Pro already. Probably both screens use the same UI firmware, which is why you find the option in the screen menu, but Windows gets correctly logged back that this is just a SDR screen. The manual will be the same except for model drawing (typical copy paste problem). That would at least be a logical explanation for your observation.

But it can probably just tell you the customer service:

The XP32 Pro actually has enough light density to represent HDR.

Three free hour has a good explanation here. Maybe your HDR monitor can only be internal, so via the monitor menu and converts the high color dynamics itself. However, it only gives Windows to be SDR, which is why Auto-HDR or HDR is not available directly in games.

What happens when you select or switch off the HDR monitor menu. Remember optish ws on the picture. Normally, colors would have to come out more vigorously and the black and white value would be much more intense, especially where light sources like the sun are.

If that’s the case, it’ll fit. Then the screen does what Windows does with Auto-HDR. Whatever’s okay.

My monitor XP32 from ODYS is supposed to be HDR.

I’m sorry to disappoint you. He can’t.

ODYS is rather a “good-good-good” brand (I don’t want to mention it now).

Fact is: The monitor has no HDR certification. Thus, no system in this world can recognize that your monitor has HDR (what it does not have) and thus use it. Like Windows.

I can present 2 scenarios here:

  • ODYS has used the same OSD for all its monitors and thus installed a setting that the monitor does not have at all
  • “HDR AN” simply means that the monitor is blunting the contrast and brightness… How to say a “Fake HDR”

The model I link to Geizhals has no HDR support according to manufacturer specifications (see data sheet).

https://gzhls.at/blob/ldb/2/9/1/d305d76c1e4941dadbed26c020ef0e880fdf.pdf

Also, your website never mentions what is used for a HDR standard. It just means “supported HDR”. There are 4 standards.

I suspect, as already described, that this is simply a “Fake HDR”. The brightness and contrast will be high-smart to create a “here” and “colours of clear and realistic” image.

That’s a good explanation with the Fake-HDR that just comes out of the monitor. Therefore, Windows does not recognize this.

The HDR function is included in both the XP32 and the brighter XP32 Pro. It could also be that real HDR can only the pro, because the luminance would also fit, and the rest are only copied information/monitor firmware, which however have no effect on the “weaker” XP32. Maybe.

Your monitor is too dark for HDR.

The amount of pixel is also inadequate.

hui… the hardware is new, let’s start:

Windows on the current system build?

Drivers for chipset, GPU and also monitor on the respective current state of the respective manufacturer?

PS: The monitor can NO HDR Monitors | ODYS gugs here. And honestly: 32 customs with 1440p? If I bought NIE, then the pixels will hit, so big are the
