How to Turn On or Off HDR Video Streaming in Windows 11

You can turn on or off HDR video streaming in Windows 11 directly from your Display settings.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) video offers significantly better brightness and color compared to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR). HDR content displays a wider spectrum of light and color, allowing you to see more detail in both the brightest highlights and the darkest shadows simultaneously.

This means colors appear more vibrant and lifelike, and scenes appear more realistic with improved contrast. Enabling HDR can transform your viewing experience for compatible content on your Windows 11 PC.

You need a display that is HDR-optimized to take advantage of this feature. Windows 11 makes managing this setting straightforward.
