Guys ! When HDR is enabled on my lenovo laptop display(OLED), dark or black areas in videos do not appear smooth. Instead, the black regions show visible square patches, block-like patterns, or straight-line boundaries, especially in low-light scenes. The issue becomes noticeable mainly during video playback with HDR ON, while SDR content looks PERFECTLY smoother. The black areas in videos appear patchy and segmented instead of smooth. I can see rectangular blocks and sharp transitions in dark scenes .But the User interfaces in webs/apps that contain blacks are appearing in its true black form (pixels turned off in those areas) , no problem in that it feels smooth . it only happens with movies/videos/games & pics with more black regions .I tried attaching a screenshot , but i could only see that problem with eyes, its not showing on a screenshot . so i took with my mobile with INCREASED FOCUS BRIGHTNESS where my exact problem can be noticed. the transition of these blackest areas is like a minecraft animation sometimes.
(i wonder do all OLED + HDR users experience this ? NO ? am i alone ?)
i tried Microsoft HDR calibration app , but calibration does not solve this particular issue.Rather it only improved my colour appearances.(it was gpt's idea tho) .
Also my drivers/softwares were all up to date.i bought the laptop just 1 month back. found this issue while exploring the HDR feature.
pls help me with any sort of knowledge/solution/opinion u have regarding this issue.
