Should I turn off the HDR on my PS5?

[Jaemo Hyun]

I have an Elgato Game Capture HD60 X, a windows laptop equipped with OBS Studio, and a 4K120hz TV. I notice that when I optimize my OBS Studio for 1080p60 HDR10 recording, the color seems to be a little off especially when my PS5's HDR is turned on. Should I turn off my PS5's HDR when recording 1080p60 HDR10?

The color being off could also be a mismatched range setting in the Source Properties. Full or Partial.

Partial comes from analog TV broadcasts. Nothing is ever equal in analog, so they overdrove it slightly to make sure that black is really black and white is really white. When those things started being digitized, the idea was to play them back on the same rigs, so they recorded the overdriven range, not the displayed range.

Full uses the entire scale for the displayed range.
