Hello.
I recently purchased an M1 Mac Mini with 16GB of Ram, but I'm experiencing some weird issues with HDR.
I think the problem is on the mac side, as everything seems to be OK in Windows 10 (I have a gaming PC too).
I own a Del PD2700U 4K Designer Display which while being natively 8-bit still has HDR10 support, and as a result whenever I watch HDR content on youtube it correctly displays the HDR logo and it looks wonderful (as I imagine HDR should look), bright colours, strong highlights while still retaining detail.
Amazon Prime doesn't display HDR, but I have read many posts lamenting the same even with non-apple silicon machines.
The problem is that the macOS interface, and all the content that's not HDR, becomes quite a lot greish and desaturated; I don't mind this slightly muted palette but it's way too much and I do not understand why this happens.
I work with graphics and animation, therefore I need some consistency and neutrality when it comes to colours.
I'd love to investigate the matter further with the amazing Benq Display Pilot app, but unfortunately it doesn't work via Rosetta and it still hasn't been updated for Apple Silicon.
The computer is currently connected via an HDMI 2.1 cable, directly to the mac mini, and despite the HDMI input on the mini being 2.0 the panel is still technically 8-bit, and as said before HDR works well on youtube in 4K 60 Hz.
I tried using an expensive USB-C to Display Port 1.4 adapter connected directly to the thunderbolt port, but I cannot enable HDR that way
Did you experience similar troubles with HDR with m1 macs?Do you think there's a chance of seeing these issues sorted with an update?
Thank you.
