I'm wondering if I'm the only one that thinks HDR effects in most games look pretty terrible. I've played about half a dozen games to date with HDR (on two different cards that support it). Honestly I've ended up turning it off almost every time. It always seems to make everything look very "plastic" and over-exposed.
I started playing Bioshock recently and couldn't help but notice the exact same problem with the HDR effects in it. The game looks much better to me with it turned off. I'm just wondering if there is something I'm missing here? I'm sure the technology has potential, as I remember playing a game that had an "HDR level" slider. With it on about 1/3 - 1/4 the normal setting, it looked a little better than having no HDR. But as it stands it seems like HDR needs a lot of work to be worthwhile.
