HDR color go wrong

Using RTX 2070S
Left is my HDR monitor Innocn 32m2v ( 4K HDR 1000nit ), Right is SDR Lenovo ThinkVision 27" 4K IPS USB-C Monitor: P27u-10.

You can see the HDR side colour did not look like HDR. The SDR side looks more like HDR.


But when I play YouTube HDR video on an HDR monitor, the colour pops out. And did way better on the SRD monitor.



So, I think my HDR monitor hardware, windows10 and NV settings are correct.

I set madVR to 100nit; it only helps in darkness and won't help on colour.

Enable HDR passthrough in MadVR in device settings.

Or try with MPC Video Renderer instead.

I have try Enable HDR passthrough in MadVR and MPC Video Renderer

Is the HDR monitor your primary monitor?
