Microsoft brings the Auto HDR feature of its Xbox Series X and Series S consoles to a computer, reports Windows Central. With Build 21337 and higher than Windows 10, computer gamers can try out the feature to add enhanced sound cards to more than 1000 DirectX 11 and 12 games that were not mastered to support HDR in the first place. According to Microsoft, Auto HDR will intelligently add color and brightness information to your games, as long as you have a compatible monitor.

You can see how the function works in the equation above. Microsoft uses grayscale to indicate the parts of the image that can successfully replicate a non-HDR screen. The original HDR presentation of Rat 5 has the most detail in its shadows and highlights, but even the Auto HDR offering has significantly more information than its counterpart.
As long as you are a Windows Insider, you can enable this feature by going to the Windows HD Color Settings page. It will be interesting to see how this affects the HDR landscape on computers. The format is notorious for Windows 10. In addition, not all HDR monitors are the same. The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has six different levels of its DisplayHDR certification. With the emphasis on high refresh rates, most game monitors fall into one of the lower categories if they qualify at all. This has made it difficult to enjoy the technology so much on consoles and TVs.
