FIXED IN 30 SECONDS: PotPlayer HDR Washed Out

If your PotPlayer HDR videos look washed out, grey, or dull compared to Windows Media Player or DaVinci Resolve, here is the quick fix.

PRIMARY FIX (The Direct3D 11 Method)

Open Preferences (Press F5).

Go to "Video" on the left.

Set "Video Renderer" to "Built-in Direct3D 11 Video Renderer".

Check the box "Use H/W HDR Output Mode" (bottom of the screen).

Click Apply/OK and restart the player.

IF THAT DIDN'T WORK, TRY THESE:

FIX 2: Disable Double Tone-Mapping (Do this if the image looks weirdly bright or "double" processed)

Preferences (F5) - Video - Pixel Shaders.

Uncheck "SMPTE ST 2084 HDR Correction".

Uncheck "SMPTE ST 2086 HDR Correction".

FIX 3: Color Space Settings (Do this if blacks look grey)

Preferences (F5) - Video - Colorspaces.

Set "Output Color Space" to "Auto" (or manually try RGB 0-255).

FIX 4: The MadVR Option (Advanced) If you want the absolute best quality and don't mind installing extra software:

Install MadVR.

Set PotPlayer Video Renderer to "Madshi Video Renderer".

Configure MadVR to "passthrough HDR to display".
