HDR意味着高动态范围(Dynamic Range)，它是一种技术，可以在您的屏幕上提供更丰富、更丰富多彩的观看体验。使用HDR，您可以在场景的阴影和高光中看到更多细节。由于(Due)HDR ，与标准显示器相比，您可以获得更明亮、更生动、更详细的画面。HDR非常适合沉浸式视频体验，包括电影和游戏。有人说HDR比高 4K 或 8K 分辨率更能改善观看体验。如果您有一台装有支持HDR的(HDR)Windows 10的新 PC ，您可以打开此显示技术(display technology)。方法如下：
在Windows 10中打开和使用HDR需要什么(HDR)
首先，您需要支持 HDR 的 1080p、4K 或 8K 显示器(you need a 1080p, 4K or 8K display with support for HDR)。它可以是电脑显示器(computer monitor)，比如我们测试过的华硕 PA32U ，也可以是(ASUS PA32U)三星 4K UHD 7 系列(Samsung 4K UHD 7 Series)等智能电视。在您的显示器或电视(monitor or TV)上，HDR必须打开。在某些支持HDR的显示器上，此功能默认未打开，因此您必须检查它是否已在您的显示器上启用。
其次，您需要一台配备处理器和支持 HDR 的视频卡的现代 PC(you need a modern PC with a processor and a video card that works with HDR)。英特尔在 2016 年推出的第 7 代英特尔酷睿(Intel Core)处理器引入了 HDR 支持(Intel introduced HDR support)。NVIDIA 和 AMD(NVIDIA and AMD)也于 2016 年开始提供HDR 支持(HDR support)。因此，您需要拥有 2016 年或更晚生产的相对较新的处理器和显卡(processor and video card)，在 Windows 10 PC 上使用HDR 。如果您需要支持HDR的显卡列表，请阅读这篇文章：我需要什么样的显卡来支持 HDR 以及哪些 PC 游戏支持它？(What graphics card do I need for HDR and what PC games support it?)
同样重要的是用于将 PC 连接到您使用的显示器或电视的电缆。您必须使用同时支持HDCP 2.2 （高带宽数字内容保护）和 4K((High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and 4K capable.)的电缆。(a cable that is both) 它可以是一根 HDMI 2.0 电缆，例如一根DisplayPort (this one)1.4(DisplayPort 1.4)电缆或 USB-Type C 电缆(C cable)。最好的HDR 电缆(HDR cable)是DisplayPort 1.4或USB Type-C。您应该使用适用于您的视频卡(video card)和显示器的电缆。
最后但同样重要的是，您需要Windows 10 Fall Creators Update或更高版本。为了在Windows 10中获得最佳 HDR 体验，我们建议使用Windows 10 April 2018 Update或更新版本。如果您不知道您拥有的Windows(Windows 10) 10 版本，请阅读本指南：如何检查Windows 10版本、操作系统构建(OS build)、版本或类型？。
如何在Windows 10中打开和配置HDR
如果您已经满足之前分享的要求，那么是时候在Windows 10中打开“(Windows 10)设置”应用(Settings app)了。一种快速的方法是按键盘上的Windows + I然后，前往System。
如果默认情况下尚未选择，请在左侧列中选择Display 。
在右侧，查找Windows HD Color部分，然后打开“播放 HDR 游戏和应用程序”的开关。("Play HDR games and apps.")
Windows 10 启用HDR并询问是否应保留这些显示设置。如果一切正常，请单击或点按保留更改(Keep changes)。否则，请单击“恢复(Revert)”或等待几秒钟，直到Windows 10恢复为关闭HDR的先前显示设置。(HDR)
HDR现在已启用。但是，要享受最佳HDR 体验(HDR experience)，请单击或点击显示“Windows HD 颜色设置”的链接。("Windows HD Color settings.")
现在您可以看到更多显示设置。
打开“播放 HDR 游戏和应用”("Play HDR games and apps")和“流式传输 HDR 视频”的开关，("Stream HDR video,")这样您就可以在游戏、应用和视频中享受HDR了，就像(HDR)YouTube 上(YouTube)的一样。
向下滚动(Scroll)设置列表，您会看到一个预览视频(preview video)，其中显示了当前视频设置下的视频外观。玩它，看看你是否满意。然后，请参阅“ SDR 内容外观”(SDR content appearance")部分。SDR表示标准动态范围(Standard Dynamic Range)。当无法使用HDR时，这是您的常规视频设置。(video setting)
问题是，当启用HDR时，不支持HDR的标准视频内容(video content)看起来很糟糕。您可以使用“ SDR 内容外观”(SDR content appearance")滑块提高SDR 内容的(SDR content)视频质量。(video quality)调整滑块，直到Windows 10(Windows 10)显示的两个示例图像之间达到平衡。现在您已完成Windows 10中的(Windows 10)HDR 设置(HDR setup)，希望您可以享受高质量的视频内容(video content)。
在Windows 10中启用HDR后，我对(HDR)图像质量(image quality)不满意。我该怎么办？
HDR可以在您的 Windows 10 PC 上提供身临其境的美妙视频体验。(video experience)但是，由于缺乏标准化，这项技术有很多怪癖，并且不提供即插即用的用户体验(user experience)。您不仅需要支持HDR的硬件，还需要提供HDR 支持的(HDR support)操作系统(operating system)，以及您的应用程序、游戏和视频内容(video content)。因此，您可能会遇到标准 SDR(standard SDR)视频内容(video content)显得太亮或太暗、颜色显示不正确等问题。如果您遇到问题，我们推荐此支持指南(support guide) 来自Microsoft：Windows 10 中的 HDR 和 WCG 颜色设置(HDR and WCG color settings in Windows 10)。阅读“解决(Fixing)常见问题”部分并遵循Microsoft提供的指导。
您(Did)是否已成功为您的 Windows 10 PC启用HDR ？
如果您遵循本指南中共享的所有步骤和要求，您应该能够在Windows 10中享受(Windows 10)HDR 应用程序(HDR apps)、游戏和视频内容(video content)。我们知道我们做到了，我们非常享受。在结束本文之前，请告诉我们一切是否顺利，以及您在设置过程中(setup process)是否有任何问题。在下面发表评论(Comment)，让我们讨论。
How do I turn on HDR on my Windows 10 computer?
HDR means High Dynamic Range, and it is a technology that offers a richer, mоre colorful viewing experience on your scrееn. With HDR you seе more detail both in the shаdows and highlights of a scene. Due to HDR, you get a brighter, more vibrant, and more detailed picture compared to a standard display. HDR is excellent for immersive video experiences, including movies and games. Some people say that HDR improves the viewing exрerience more than the high 4K or 8K resolutions do. If you have a new PC with Windows 10 that has support for HDR, you can turn on thіs display technology. Here is how:
What you need to turn on and use HDR in Windows 10
First of all, you need a 1080p, 4K or 8K display with support for HDR. It can be a computer monitor, like the fancy ASUS PA32U that we tested or a Smart TV like Samsung 4K UHD 7 Series. On your monitor or TV, HDR must be turned on. On some displays with support for HDR, this feature is not turned on by default, so you must check that it is enabled on yours.
Second, you need a modern PC with a processor and a video card that works with HDR. Intel introduced HDR support with its 7th generation Intel Core processors that were launched in 2016. Both NVIDIA and AMD also started to offer HDR support in 2016. Therefore, you need to have a relatively new processor and video card, manufactured in 2016 or later, to use HDR on your Windows 10 PC. If you need a list with video cards that offer support for HDR, read this article: What graphics card do I need for HDR and what PC games support it?
Just as important is the cable that you use to connect the PC to the monitor or the TV that you use. You must use a cable that is both HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) and 4K capable. It can be an HDMI 2.0 cable like this one, a DisplayPort 1.4 cable or USB-Type C cable. The best HDR cable would be DisplayPort 1.4 or USB Type-C. You should use a cable that works both with your video card, and your display.
Last but not least, you need Windows 10 Fall Creators Update or later. For the best HDR experience in Windows 10, we recommend using Windows 10 April 2018 Update or newer. If you do not know what version of Windows 10 you have, read this guide: How to check the Windows 10 version, OS build, edition, or type?.
How to turn on and configure HDR in Windows 10
If you have met the requirements shared earlier, it is time to open the Settings app in Windows 10. One quick way to do that is to press Windows + I on your keyboard. Then, head to System.
In the column on the left, choose Display, if it is not already selected by default.
On the right, look for the Windows HD Color section, and turn on the switch for "Play HDR games and apps."
Windows 10 enables HDR and asks whether it should keep these display settings. If everything looks good, click or tap Keep changes. Otherwise, click Revert or wait a couple of seconds, until Windows 10 reverts back to the previous display settings with HDR turned off.
HDR is now enabled. However, to enjoy the best possible HDR experience, click or tap the link that says: "Windows HD Color settings."
Now you see more settings for your display.
Turn on the switches for "Play HDR games and apps" and "Stream HDR video," so that you can enjoy HDR in games, apps, and videos, like those on YouTube.
Scroll down the list of settings, and you see a preview video that shows what a video looks like with your current video settings. Play it to see whether you are satisfied. Then, see the "SDR content appearance" section. SDR means Standard Dynamic Range. It is your regular video setting when HDR cannot be used.
The problem is that, when enabling HDR, the standard video content that is not HDR-capable, can look terrible. You can improve the video quality for SDR content, using the "SDR content appearance" slider. Adjust the slider until there is a balance between the two sample images shown by Windows 10. Now you are done with your HDR setup in Windows 10, and hopefully, you can enjoy high-quality video content.
I'm not happy with the image quality after enabling HDR in Windows 10. What do I do?
HDR can provide an immersive and beautiful video experience on your Windows 10 PC. However, this technology has lots of quirks due to the lack of standardization, and it does not offer a plug-and-play user experience. Not only do you need hardware with support for HDR, but you also need the operating system to provide HDR support, as well as your apps, games, and video content. Therefore, there are chances for you to run into problems like your standard SDR video content appears too bright or too dark, the colors are not displayed correctly, and so on. If you run into problems, we recommend this support guide from Microsoft: HDR and WCG color settings in Windows 10. Read the "Fixing common problems" section and follow the guidance offered by Microsoft.
Did you successfully enable HDR for your Windows 10 PC?
If you follow all the steps and requirements shared in this guide, you should be able to enjoy HDR apps, games and video content in Windows 10. We know we did, and we enjoyed it a lot.
