Not exactly self-hosted but I know many jellyfinners here would cherish this as well.

It's basically HDR (the 10 bit display kind, not the Half Life 2 kind), but with more metadata.

What I find is that if you have a Dolby Vision capable TV, it will be already calibrated to something that looks good, rather than you having to fuck around telling it how bright "paper" is or some shit.

HDR displays are surprisingly tricky, even without Dolby Vision or HDR10+. Especially if you're mixing SDR and HDR content on a display. I tried it a few years ago on Windows and it was flat out awful. I think they've fixed a lot of it up now with Win 11, but even they took their damn time over it.

Thanks!

I haven't purchased a new tv in years. My current monitor has HDR but idt i have it turned on because it just made everything look washed out and i don't care enough to fiddle with all the settings when SDR looks fine to me.

A lot of monitors have particularly bad HDR, the max brightness being so low you might as well not bother. And as you've found out some games are really washed out for some reason. Like to the point where the game is almost entirely grey.

Worse, some games actually detect the capability in the monitor and turn it back on, and for that reason I wasn't able to play Nex Machina on PC.
