This guide will help you turn on or off Dolby Vision HDR on your Windows 11 computer. Dolby Vision HDR makes your screen look brighter and more colorful, making movies, games, and photos look better.

What is Dolby Vision HDR?
If you have a TV or monitor that supports HDR10 or Dolby Vision, your screen can show more colors and brighter pictures than normal. Windows 11 now supports Dolby Vision HDR, so you can enjoy this better picture quality on your PC.

If your computer and display support HDR, Windows usually picks Dolby Vision automatically. But you can also turn it on or off yourself. Here’s how!
