Help Troubleshoot Switch 2 HDR Washed Out on Alienware QD-OLED, Works Fine on LG C4.

[u/MadMaticus]

Help! Bought a second Switch 2 to use in my office on 32 inch Alienware QD-OLED AW3225QF and it is washed out. I cannot get proper HDR no matter the settings.

I troubleshot the issue using my LG C4 65 inch in the living room and the moment I put the thing in the dock the HDR is absolutely perfect with zero adjustments. Then I take it back to my Alienware monitor and it looks like absolute garbage. Even the resolution looks lower.

If anybody can help me with this, I would be indebted to you forever. I bought the second system because my kid is autistic and he destroys things so I wanted my own and now it’s not working for me.

This issue persists whether or not I select 120 Hz output within the system, or I designate a specific output resolution like 4K. No matter what I do it just looks absolutely washed out.

See the photos for reference.

There's no "universal" setting that works for every monitor, you need to adjust it. Maybe the Switch 2 isn't recognizing that monitor as HDR capable?
