    Warning, there’s one on 1337x. to (26.6gb) that has a weird pink filter on top, you can see it on the screenshots on the torrent page. Just pick another one or try on TorrentGalaxy. to

      I believe you’re referring to ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 2023 2160p WEB-DL DDP5 1 Atmos HDR DV HEVC-CMRG’

      The HDR DV part of the title denotes that the file is “High Dynamic Range + Dolby Vision”. The reason you’re seeing the pink, or sometimes green, filter is because of the Dolby Vision HDR layer on this file.

      This file is sourced from Disney+ and if you had a DV supported display, they would serve this version of the file for you. Otherwise, they would serve a SDR, or Standard Dynamic Range, version of the same movie for displays that don’t support DV or has it disabled. I recommend that if you’re grabbing 2160p files, you take care to see whether you’re grabbing a HDR version.

      In your case, I would almost always go with non-HDR and non-DV, sometimes it could be both, sometimes it could be either one. Ideally, grab a release that doesn’t included both of those terms and you should have the SDR version. 1080p can also have HDR, but very rarely DV so you only really need to care about this when it’s 4k

      You probably downloaded a Dolby Vision version. If you don’t have a compatible Display and Device, Dolby Vision content tends to have a pink/green filter apearence. You need to find a SDR or HDR10 version.
