How do I disable HDR? (lemmy.ml)

So today I clicked 'enable HDR' on one of my monitors and something broke. The whole system froze up and the HDR monitor went black. If I reboot it freezes right after I login.

If I unplug that monitor or start in X11 instead of Wayland then everything is fine. Plugging the HDR monitor in while I'm logged into a Wayland session also freezes everything.

How can I disable the HDR setting? The monitor doesn't show in System Settings whilst its unplugged so I'm hoping theirs some way to fix it on the CLI. The only place I've found HDR referenced is .config/kwinoutputconfig.json. I set HDR to false but after reboot it's set to true again. I also tried deleting .config/kwinrc and .local/share/kscreen but no luck.

I'm fine with just resetting all Display settings if that's required.

----- UPDATE ------

Bug report filed here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485403

Fixed by

Ctrl + Alt + F3 to go into terminal
Set HighDynamicRange and WideColorGamut to false in ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json
Execute plasmashell --replace
Reboot, Login, Reattach HDR Monitor

Thank you everyone for your help 🎉

The monitor does not display with kscreen-doctor -o as it's disconnected.

I will create a bug report.

I see you got it fixed.
When you run hw-prope make sure your offending monitor is connected. hw-prope will help identify the monitor by hardware ID which is used in various areas like kernel space and will help with identifying the exact model of the problem monitor hopefully allowing for devs to reproduce the bug in a lab environment.

Added the hw-probe link

Looking through the probe logs, and seeing that your monitor is using EISA bus and works fine without HDR, there doesn't appear to be any issues on the Linux side of things. My guess is that they didn't implement HDR on the monitors side exactly to spec and that's where the problem resides. So, in this sense some monitor specific quirk fixup code is needed on the Linux side of things to get it working properly. If the devs ask any additional steps from you, be sure to do it and provide feedback.

Which one of these is the problem monitor? benq or gigabyte ?

Edit : nvm, I see you already said Gigabyte.
