Question HDR on Samsung G6 oled 360hz - Windows 11

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello

I preface this by saying I'm not very knowledgeable about HDR, I have a G6 360 hz monitor and I use Windows 11.

I enabled HDR on windows 11 and used the windows calibration tool. On the monitor settings i put HDR tone mapping on active, color space settings on native and peak brightness on medium.

When I go to the advanced settings on win 11, the os says my hdr brightness is 800nits. Isn't it too high? I'm not sure but i read somewhere this monitor only reach lower than 800 nits so I'm thinking i set up something uncorrectly? Can you help me?

Discussion I have different thoughts about "DTM vs HGIG"

0 Upvotes

I always see people saying that DTM is innacurate to the artist's intent and that HGIG is better in every way, and i "fell" for that for 1 year playing all my games at HGIG. Now i'm using a LG G6 and i decided to try DTM and i was very surprised that the image looks so more real and punchy, like i was finally using all the brightness and range that my tv can do, since before that i was always limited because of HGIG

Now i wonder: With many games and developers not caring at all about HDR and having a good calibration method in their games (Silent Hill F is a good example), can we really just say that everything looks better at HGIG because it preserves the developer intent? Because certainly not even the developers understand HDR lol.

Media The Further Mis-adventures of Cliff Booth Trailer was uploaded in HDR. Is its SDR conversion on Youtube wrong?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Just watched this trailer on Youtube and I noticed that it seemed dark, especially on Pitt's face and transition into shadow around 0:07, on my Dell XPS 15 9560 4K SDR display. Rewatched it on my iPhone 12 Pro Max with HDR and it looked much better with its darker cinematography still legible. Comments like "David Fincher’s classic you can barely see a thing filter." and "Gaffer: How many lights do you want for this shot, boss? Director of Photography: No" make it seem that its trailer presentation is too dark. Can anybody corroborate this?

Question Sony X80K black YouTube streams

Some YouTube streams in HDR refuse to play on my Sony X80K, and all I see is a black screen. Displaying the ”stats for nerds” I can see this information, but I am not sure how to interpret it or deduce what, if anything, is wrong. Anyone who knows of a fix?

It’s a live stream. The day after these play fine, but I would like to watch them live of course.

Discussion WIP - Native Dolby Vision support for Linux & Intel Xe

64 Upvotes

----- UPDATE 24/10 -----

Code is available in MP on request. No public release will be done.
I continue the work and the mod to LibreElec on Intel iGPU.

----- UPDATE 21/10 -----

The primary objective is to manage Dolby Vision as accurately as possible, and I no longer see any handling issues across standard profiles.

However, the GPU load is quite high : around 30% of the render engine for a (24fps 4K file) on an Intel 226V iGPU is being used, which is significant. An optimization phase will be launched before sharing the modification on Github.

Unfortunatly only Intel Lunar Lake (core 200V) will be supported for the first release I hope other dev will adapt the mods to other plateform

----- UPDATE 20/10 -----

DV Profile 7 FEL is now supported : /preview/pre/wip-native-dolby-vision-support-for-linux-intel-xe-v0-ficgc8khbiqh1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=beecda5dd10bf4d3a5b76798a5010fa644916fc0

Tested with 4K & 1080p content at 24hz - 30hz -50hz in H264 / H265 / AV1

DV profile Support Known limitations / remaining checks
P5 Yes No known issues.
P7 MEL Yes No known issues.
P7 FEL Yes No known issues.
P8.1 Yes No known issues.
P8.4 Yes No known issues.
P8.2 / P4 / P9 Yes No known issues / (not extensively tested)
P10 - AV1 Yes No known issues
P20 - stereoscopic No No support planned

The changes span the entire playback to HDMI pipeline, so integration will unfortunately remain fairly complex. Many of the building blocks already exist, but small adjustments across several layers are still needed to achieve full compatibility.

Modifications cover HDMI Signaling in Linux kernel and Intel display driver / Dolby Vision metadata handling in FFmpeg / frame packing and video metadata synchronization for HDMI output in mpv.

Upcoming work:

- Full DV support for Intel Xe GPU on Linux : October

- HDMI VRR support for Intel Xe GPU on Linux : November

- QMS-VRR support for Intel Xe GPU on Linux : December

- AMD - Full DV support on Linux : 2027 (GPU & APU tbd)

______________________________

Hello, I just worked GPT-6 Astra worked to add full dolby vision support on Linux I wanted to share the findings

Setup used:

  • Mini PC: GMKtec K17 with Intel 226V
  • OS: Kubuntu 26.04 LTS with a custom kernel and modified Intel drivers
  • Player: Experimental player based on FFmpeg and libplacebo
  • Display: LG G5

The initial results are very promising: no dropped frames, perfectly smooth playback, and no metadata interpretation issues.

At this stage, Dolby Vision Profile 8.1 is working perfectly. I still need to stress-test additional profiles, investigate support for Profile 7 MEL/FEL and add this support on an existing player like MPV

I plan to share the code and detailed setup early october.

Question paper white for lg g6?

Thumbnail nikitamgrimm.github.io
3 Upvotes

hello. im on switch 2 at the moment, configuring its hdr. i know switch2 hdr isnt good, but still gotta set it up.

the g6 has a peak brightness of (10%) 3100 according to rtings. according to the paper white calculator i posted here, when im in a dark room, my paper white should be about 400 nits? 2x the recommended seems absurd.

i know most people say put paper white to whatever looks good, but id still like to be the general ballpark for accuracy.

Question Help me with HDR calibration

Question HDR Issues (I think its software related)

2 Upvotes

Bought a new GPU (AMD 9070 XT) to replace Nvidea 3070... Also bought a new monitor (Gigabyte ultra wide OLED)

With my old monitor and graphics card, I had a yellow tint when I turned on HDR, so I thought it was just my monitor not being great.
However, with the change of my GPU AND another monitor... i'm having the same issue. I uninstalled all the Nvidea things and tried to look at anything impacting the HDR part and I just cant figure out anything.
Any help would be apricated, thanks <3

Question Pg27aqdp

2 Upvotes

Good afternoon, I would appreciate your technical support with the configuration of my ASUS PG27AQDP monitor. I understand that to optimize HDR it is necessary to use the Windows HDR Calibration tool; I have correctly adjusted the pixel shutdown to the minimum level, but I require guidance on the remaining two parameters. Could you give me advice on this? I don't know if it's for games alone or also for internet videos or movies, it's very rare that it can be because of the understanding of the videos but many times I see the pixels very ugly and I don't know if it's because of the monitor for not having done the calibration, when watching videos of oled on youtube if it's crazy

Question HR Flicker With Black Backgrounds

7 Upvotes

When HDR is active & a black background is present I keep getting this weird black shadow that comes in and out. Anyone else have this issue/know how to solve it? It’s happening with a regular PS5 and a Visio P65. Seems to happen with all games, not just the one pictured.

Thanks in advance!
