About this tag
Tone mapping is a core component of High Dynamic Range (HDR) on Windows, responsible for converting the wide luminance and color range of HDR content into what your specific display can show.

The tag covers practical step-by-step guides for HDR setup, calibration tools, and fixes for common HDR issues tied to tone mapping behavior.
