--- Comment #36 from Kitsuna <bugtrack...@kitsuna.net> ---
So let me start off by saying that I am by no means a developer or a color
expert, what I do know is that I had been using HDR quite happily on plasma for
quite a few months on my OLED TV. I had not updated my KDE in a while just due
to lack of time the computer would only come on for me to play some games with
friends and then go right back off for another week or more. I finally decided
to do updates today and now my HDR that was working perfectly and looked
absolutely amazing suddenly makes my entire desktop look like the saturation
has been turned down and everything is way too bright and washed out. No matter
what I do to the sliders I cannot make it look good again, I can make it look
less bad but no combination of the sliders has been able to return me to the
absolute gorgeous and at least according to my cheap color calibrator quite
accurate colors that I had.
I won't pretend to have read every single comment in this thread though I did
attempt to skim most of it, I would just like to remind developers to not let
perfect be the enemy of good. Even if it's not technically correct as long as
it looks correct that's what the end user is going to care about and they
aren't going to want to have to do a ton of manual tweaking to get there. My
HDR was working, now it's useless and I need to Simply manually toggle it when
I want to play an HDR game or watch some type of HDR content Because the actual
desktop itself is unusable with HDR enabled now. If that's because this is a
transition. Then maybe give us back the old incorrect method until you're ready
to fully transition. As an end user especially one with little time for
entertainment these days. It's very upsetting to have something that was
working and bringing me joy suddenly break and the only information I can
seemingly find about it is people arguing about how color should be calibrated
and luminance and this and that crap I honestly couldn't care less about.
If you got this far thank you for reading my rant, hopefully it wasn't entirely
useless
