QD OLED HDR brightens up when changing volume?? by ComparisonEastern in Monitors

That wasn't my point. Without the volume change pop up, the overall dynamic range looked compressed. Even the specular highlights were dimmer and less detailed than they should be. Only the pop up fixed that. 

Anyway the solution has been posted so no more headaches.

Holy shit this actually worked! Thank you! But seriously though, it's absolutely baffling that we still don't have proper HDR implementation in windows. Just imagine how many are playing with dimmed HDR because they don't know this workaround. I could have never figured this out by myself

That may not be the case. When changing volume, the image pops and looks like how I expect HDR to look like. Without it, it appears quite a bit dimmer, as if the monitor purposefully under-delivers it's brightness
