I have seen a few posts from folks here on NeoGaf about Switch 2 looking washed out while playing HDR enabled games in docked mode. Fear not HDTVTest from YouTube has you covered. This tutorial is for all makes and models of HDR enabled HDTVs with or without HGIG Dynamic tone mapping.

The first video is the main tutorial here:


...and in the second video skip to a section called 3 other settings to optimize and with that everyone having issues with HDR looking washed out on Switch 2 in docked mode should be covered.



I hope this helps those who are frustrated with the convoluted mess that is Switch 2 HDR. Good luck.

If you don't really understand how HDR works for gaming, it's better to start here first



The demonstration he does is with the PS5 HDR calibration screen but the general knowledge is very useful

I watched this a few days ago. I appreciate that Vincent went through the effort to explain it all and give appropriate values to the slider. But this is pretty inexcusable that Nintendo released it the way it is. I started laughing my ass off when he was going through the incremental changes after each adjustment.

On my Bravia OLED, Switch 2 HDR looks amazing when the Switch 2 RGB setting is Auto and the tvs RGB setting is Limited.

If i set the Bravia setting to Auto to match, it gets washed out and ugly. I have no idea why the HDR image only looks great when theyre mismatched.
