Microsoft recently released a Windows HDR Calibration tool to the Microsoft Store ‘Windows HDR Calibration’ that will create a custom HDR color profile if you have a Display that supports HDR.
It works fairly well for non-native HDR games that support AutoHDR, such as World of Warcraft
Worth looking into if you’ve previously tried HDR but found the bright or dark scenes to be way off.
Good tip.
In addition to this, I’d highly recommend reducing the intensity to between 5-10 via Windows Game Bar. Windows default to maximum intensity and IMO, it’s way over saturated in some zones. For example, walk around Sentinel Hill on Classic during the day and you will see.
I can’t wait for the AI driven TVs and monitors where I can say to it “just make it look good” without having to tweak and test a bunch of hardware and software settings.
The biggest downside to AutoHDR is the WoW Client UI elements get treated also. If there were a way to ignore UI elements and only AutoHDR game elements it’d be great.
The game looks great in hdr but was searching for why the ui and tooltips look so bad. I guess it’s worth having hdr for the actual game but it’s close because the ui is color just seems off but I’m sure I’ll get use to it and the old way will look bad after a few days.
edit: It’s not so much the button parts of the ui they look ok it’s titan panel, tool tips, the map seems to bright but the mini map seems ok, quest log, the text on the character screen and the chat box/window.
