Is HDR content (i.e., 4k UHD 10-bit Blu-ray) supposed to look much darker than SDR on an 8-bit monitor, or are my madVR settings causing this problem? As a demonstration:
- here's a screenshot of the SDR Blu-ray version, and
- here's a screenshot of the 4K UDH Blu-ray.
This is not just one movie, though. Every 4K UHD Blu-ray movie that I've compared with its ordinary 1080p Blu-ray version has had this darkness problem.
I have an 8-bit monitor with 300 max cd/m^2 ("nits").
I use madVR with mpc-hc and
my madVR's HDR settings can be seen here.
My OSD information is here.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
