Color management is such a shit show on PCs. Most phones these days support a large percentage of DCI-P3 and are configured for it.
But even if you have a monitor that supports DCI-P3 you have to slog through modes, profiles, and blog posts to get it setup.
Should you always have HDR on? Why does SDR content always look "wrong" when HDR is on? Oh, it's because the peak brightness and color saturation blah blah blah.
Gamma 2.0, 2.2, or 2.4?
Now you learn the hard way the "desktop" is not color managed, it's the individual applications.. If they want to be. Maybe they'll use the windows configured profile, maybe not.

- SideQuark 2y agoMaybe because others interested in color management, including how it works in modern tech, could be attracted to this topic. Then it makes sense to put related things here. If you don't like this comment, which seems pretty useful to get discussion, perhaps even solving the users issues, then don't engage it. Others will find it useful and topical.
- jacobolus 2y agoTo be fair, it's pretty hard to perform or judge reasonable gamut clipping/adaptation if you don't have a well characterized display.

MacOS is fully color managed which has its pros and cons since so much of desktop users are on Windows which simply assumes sRGB. At least P3 and sRGB have the same gamma. People working with video are so confused about uploading rec709 content to youtube with 2.4 gamma.
