      I am having an issue with video playback (any video) being oversaturated when playing on my HDR monitor (see below screenshot examples) from other suggestions it seems that setting opera://flags/#use-angle to OpenGL "fixes" the issue, however, this fix has a problem where it causes video playback to stutter (e.g. on a twitch stream running at 1080p60fps the twitch player reports an average of 10/15 frames dropped per second which does not occur when using D3D.
      I have checked other chromium based browsers, and Firefox and neither seem to have this issue.

      System Specs:
      CPU: i9-13900k
      GPU: RTX 4090

      Oversaturated video (using D3D Angle):

      Correct video saturation (using OpenGL Angle):

        @jordan30001 Is Lucid Model/RGX enable by chance? If so, check with it disabled.

          RGX is disabled, however, enabling RGX fixes the issue but RGX makes most content I watch look over processed (e.g. sharpens videos that don't need sharpening)

            I have an RTX 4090 and an i9 14900KF and the same problem. Has this been solved? Also the only options I see in the settings is "Use graphics acceleration when available" and "Sharpen video on all sites" and "Show button on video" in LucidMode.

            If I turn off graphics acceleration that solves the YouTube issue, but why should I turn that off for everything in the browser just so I can watch YouTube?

              I have found a "temporary fix" which involves opening the video in Fullscreen on a non HDR monitor then using the move window to move the video to the HDR monitor (using win + shift + left/right) and as long as you don't Fullscreen the video it works fine.

              But I don't see this as a solution as it's finicky to do.

              It seems like this is a problem across all chromium browsers (chrome, edge, opera, opera gx, etc.

              It seems like the only browser this doesn't affect is firefox, and that's likely as it doesn't use chromium
