<![CDATA[video playback oversaturated on HDR monitor]]>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):

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

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?
