I couldn't see any difference, it is fine here, too. I set it back to my preferred mode. If you want me to test anything else, let me know.

Why do you use 8 bit? HDR should be 10 bit, isn't it?

Not sure to be honest, the HDMI ports usually have a mode you can select as well as a rename.

I just use 8 bit desktop, it should switch to 10 bit automatically when a movie plays. I also get the problem if I set my desktop to ybcr 10 bit 4:2:2 / 4:2:0 etc.

Congrats on your latest HDR conversion improvements, madshi. I think you really nailed it down with it, just looks fantastic. The new highlight detail reconstruction also really does wonders, without destroying too much.

It got also another icon - a blu ray standalone player in my samsung when I selected that mode. Another name of a preset is PC, so I think it is the pc mode, but I don't use it. My older LG TV has similar presets to choose.
I use just straight HDMI and Gaming mode to ensure true framerate of the files, not soap opera.
I went to a local TV store, and saw that every TV, it doesn't matter if it is OLED, LCD with LED backlights or the manufacturer like Samsung, LG, Philips, Loewe, Panasonic, Sony, ... the motion interpolation get sometimes stuck, because the scene changes. It looks awful. I only want to see the true encoded frames.

Yes, thats fixed. It actually is in the change list, its this one:

* fixed: OSD API sometimes drew stuff in the wrong position

Hi, yes I know why poeple dont tend to use anything but game and PC mode but i'm asking you to try it because i'm trying to find out if there is a subset of AMD users with the oversaturation problem, if there are more people there is more chance MADSHI will be able to work out where this is coming from and maybe find a workaround, or can suggest something I can take back to AMD to have them look at.

it may even just a subset of some HDR tv's

Upload a cutout mkv file of 20 secs or so from the scene of the blu-ray, I think it was star wars, I don't find the screenshots at the moment. I test the file for you.

I mean no FSE selected in madvr, madvr osd says windowed, in this case colors are ok

-> Not a issue in madVR

I'm glad and good to know for you is ok, unfortunately we are more than one with the same problem: we need to cherry pick a driver that works.
would be great to know how you have configured your madvr. maybe we have different setups.
how can you be sure that is not madvr issue, maybe in some cases the switch require to be fired before refresh change or after or it's just matter of something else.
At any case "work in my machine" doesn't help in software development.

411.63 broke NV HDR for me. When starting an HDR video the TV flashes the HDR icon a few times but then returns to SDR mode. Went back to 399.24 and it's working again.
OS HDR still works with 411.63 though.

This is on Win10 1803, 1050Ti, LG Oled C8.

Anyone able to confirm the broken NV HDR with 411.63?

working fine here, although I now use the HDR to SDR algo.

What do need to know?
Some infos right away:
4930k with ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
MSI AMD Radeon RX480 8GB Gaming X
Win10 Pro 1803 64bit
latest very new Radeon driver 18.9.2
MPC-BE 1.5.2.3973 beta from sourceforge (digitally signed) from today
(the last days, weeks and month always Nightly of its day)

What player do you use?

for example, do you refresh changer ? , how many bits you configured monitor properties in madvr, on amd driver ? do you fse or not etc etc.

On my system i have mpchc and mediaportal

I use refresh rate changer in madVR, auto in madVR, 10 bits in driver, already stated that on 1803 FSE isn't true FSE anymore, so I don't use FSE.

What exactly did you change? I have the same issue with MPC-BE?

[suanm]

The images of UHD HDR movies look very very dark with the new madVR0.92.16 version,hardly see anything in 'process HDR content by using pixel shader math' mode on my TV set。On the contrary once when I choose the 'passthrough HDR content to the dispay' mode.the images go immediately very very clear.Wondering what's going on?

[ryrynz]

I exported my settings to ini, made sure that settings were to be saved to ini via general settings and then deleted the ini keeping the exported one to copy whatever I needed from it into a new ini if required. It appears I have everything I wanted already stored in the BE registry keys so I didn't need to do anything after that, I'll get aleksoid to look into it though this isn't the first issue I've had with BE and it's settings.

Suanm play with your target nits.

Thanks for confirming. I'll figure out what's going on. I'm currently having nVidia driver issues (go figure) and am reverting to the previous version to see if it fixes an HDR issue I'm having. After that I'll look at this subtitle thing again.

That's great! I'll figure out what's going on once I get this HDR thing sorted out.

EDIT: Stupid MKV's. For some reason it wasn't selecting the forced sub track automatically. All problems solved. Thanks guys!

Hi, no point really, its immediately apparent with any movie you play when you have the problem, the colours are very saturated especially red.

to recap - to reproduce this with your setup you will need:

TV - setup in BLURAY mode rather than PC
TV - deep colour must be on
PC - desktop must be 4:4:4 FULL RGB 8bit - 2160p
PC - Movie must be SDR and play at 2160p@23hzhz (23,976)
AMD RX card, any driver.
MADVR - TV output set to 10 bit
MADVR - FSE has to be on (I think, i'll test this later)
MADVR - tick use DIRECT3D11

Yes. Just went through this nightmare of figuring it out. Wish I had seen your post first. Exact same issue.

What is your target NIT level set to?
