I've got the new Apple Studio Display XDR. Using it with a 16" Macbook Pro /w M4 Max.
When I have my Macbook closed in clamshell mode so that only the Studio Display XDR is on/active, I'm getting this problem where once any sort of HDR content is shown on the screen, for example playing an HDR video on YouTube or even opening an HDR photo in Finder Preview with the spacebar shortcut will significantly dim my screen. I'm aware that MacOS is supposed to dim the rest of the screen so that the HDR content part of the screen is the only thing that is shown in HDR and brighter but it seems like everything is just significantly dimmer overall.
After I close the HDR content it will take about 15 seconds before it fades into the previous full brightness again. It's super annoying and making me purposely avoid HDR content so that I don't have to wait for my screen to brighten back up.
The thing is, this problem doesn't happen when I use both my 16" Macbook Pro screen together with the Studio Display XDR in Dual Screen mode. The brightness stays consistent and HDR content does not dim the rest of my screen at all.
It feels like a MacOS or Display Firmware problem? I'm on the latest Display Firmware and it's happening on Tahoe 26.5 and previously 26.4 as well.
Anyone else have this problem or know a fix for this?
