Windows 11 gets new HDR calibration app

Microsoft has rolled out the Windows 11 2022 Update (version 22H2), and while it packs a lot of exciting stuff for gamers, our readers may have missed the release of a brand new Windows HDR Calibration app. Things to Note Yes, this is not related to the Windows 11 2022 update, you can also get it in the original version of the operating system.

Microsoft first announced the app back in February, saying it would bring Xbox's HDR gaming calibration capabilities to Windows.

The Windows application offers three main testing modes. These include modes for determining the darkest visible detail, the brightest visible detail, and the display's maximum brightness. These are based on recommendations from the HDR Gaming Interest Group (HGIG). Additionally, Microsoft has added another feature that gives full control over color saturation.

Microsoft says calibrating your display will ensure you get the best viewing experience for HDR content and help avoid clipping effects.

There are two ways to launch the Windows HDR Calibration application. One is to download the app from the Microsoft Store here and the other is to launch it from Settings > System > Display > Use HDR > HDR Display Calibration. However, the latter is only supported by Windows Insiders.

After opening the application, follow these instructions:

1. If you have multiple monitors, make sure the application window is on the HDR-capable monitor you want to calibrate Visible above.
2. Use the app under the same lighting conditions you normally use for HDR displays.
3. When you calibrate your monitor using the three test patterns, drag each slider until the pattern is no longer visible.

#When customizing the color saturation of SDR and HDR content, drag Move the slider to adjust the saturation from less saturated (default, on the left) to more saturated (right).
4. Depending on your display characteristics, this change may be very subtle.

It's also important to know that the app won't run on Windows 10, and not all GPUs support color saturation adjustments. You also have the option to submit feedback directly to Microsoft via the dedicated Feedback button in the upper right corner of the app's main menu.
