Created attachment 185068 [details] Clouds look overexposed when SDR brightness is set to 200, while looking good at 400 SUMMARY After upgrading to 6.5 Beta 1, HDR contents in Chrome Beta seem to be broken as their max brightness is capped to the SDR brightness. I have a monitor with peak brightness at 430 nits, and for video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLdj9ZwpKfo&t=706s, the most noticeable thing is that clouds in the background are almost overexposed when SDR brightness is set to 200. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Chrome Beta and enable HDR in System Settings 2. Go to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLdj9ZwpKfo&t=706s 3. Change the SDR brightness for the HDR monitor OBSERVED RESULT Clouds in the background look overexposed when SDR brightness is set to 200 EXPECTED RESULT Clouds shouldn't look overexposed SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Kernel Version: 6.16.7-2-cachyos (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 20 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31.0 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU Graphics Processor 2: Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Other affected HDR contents: - https://www.testufo.com/hdr - https://www.wide-gamut.com/test/image-hdr
Chrome is only using gamma 2.2 without any custom luminance or HDR metadata, so this is definitely a bug in Chrome. Please report this to Google.
