Hello,
Hoping you are having a good day,
I was just wanted enhance my HP Omen 16 Gaming experience. So, my question is can I switch and use my desktop resolution at same refresh rate in my HDR gaming.
Looking for answer.
Your help will be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

@Jaamun2k,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

From your display info:

• Desktop mode is set to 3840 × 2160 (4K) @ 165 Hz,

• Active signal mode is 1920 × 1080 @ 165 Hz,

• Color space is currently SDR (not HDR).

What this means:

• Your laptop's internal display is running at 1080p upscaled to 4K (that's why desktop vs. active signal mode differ).

• The refresh rate is already locked at 165 Hz, which is the panel's maximum.

• HDR isn’t active yet -you’d need to switch it on under Windows Settings → Display → HDR.

So yes, you can use the same resolution and refresh rate when enabling HDR. Just make sure to:

1. Go to Settings → System → Display → HDR and toggle HDR on.

2. Keep your refresh rate at 165 Hz (already set correctly).

3. For the best results, use the native panel resolution (1920×1080) when gaming, not the upscaled desktop 4K. That way you'll avoid scaling overhead and get smoother performance.

Quick tip: Some games handle HDR better than others. If you do see washed-out colors after enabling it, adjust the in-game HDR calibration sliders or temporarily turn HDR off for competitive titles.

Hope this was helpful.
