MUST READ when updating to Windows Creators update and 4K monitors

/1 Comment/in , /by

Just a very quick but vital tip.
If you update windows to the new Creators update and you own a 4K (HDR capable monitor) you have to be aware of the fact that Windows will recognize this monitor as HDR capabile and will set this up as a HDR monitor.

This means your monitor will look VERY washed out and colorless, this is of course logical due to the other gamma curve and colorspace connected to HDR/UHD. The option can be found in the display properties, just flick the switch from HDR/Advanced color to off and all should work as before.

    The more useful solution would be to figure out how to make the desktop look OK in HDR mode.
