This is a great post, thank you!

Anyone have an idea of how to get the HDR option to show up in Elder Scrolls Online? It doesn’t appear as an option in game when running it on the OLED SD. I believe this is normal when there is no HDR functionality detected by the game so I’m wondering how to force the game to detect it as an option.
