HDR content on an SDR 1080p tv how to? - thegaming nerd - 2020-07-24

my setup gtx 980 windows 10 pc
denon avr 2310 
panasonic non hdr 1080p 3D tv

latest version of kodi

so today i tried my first rip of a 4k hdr bluray on kodi, saving private ryan
All my other rips are standard blurays but i want to buy 4K HDR materiel from now on just to future proof for the eventual TV upgrade 
problem is the colours are seriously washed out when watching this 
i tried the video in vlc player and the built in windows player and the colours are fine
anybody in my position who has found a fix for this, tried the tonemapping in the video options that did nothing for...

Make sure Render Method in Settings - Player - Videos is set to Pixel Shaders otherwise Tone Mapping won't work properly.
