Audio issues when switching from a game in HDR to an SDR game.

Hi,

What happens if you turn off both allow 4K and the HDR setting? (turning off Allow 4K should turn of HDR anyway).

When your playing games in HDR and go back to the dashboard there will be a momentary pause or black screen. This is normal as the Xbox dashboard operates in SDR and both the monitor and the Xbox should switch back to SDR.

I'm just curios to see if there is an issue with switching between HDR and SDR on this monitor.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the M27Q is an older HDMI 2.0 display and that can be bandwidth limited. Besides, this is only an HDR 400 display which means it doesn't get bright enough for HDR to really stand out. Decent HDR needs HDR 600 or more to actually make much of a difference together with good local dimming.

Just because it can do HDR doesn't mean you need to have it on. On displays with poor HDR implementation having it on can actually make the picture worse.

Have you updated the monitors firmware?

Hi,

In addition to Arminator's comments, HDR is best set to 'Auto' on your TV/monitor.

Setting it to always on won't look right for SDR content, luminecence and colour will be all wrong on SDR games and video content with HDR forced to on.

With HDR set to Auto, your display will only use HDR when HDR content is detected.

I've tried

Switching the YCC 4:2:2 on and off.

Hard Reset

So far I've only tried that but I think there's not much I can do to fix a Game DVR issue. My HDR works when I play games but it dies on me when I view DVR HDR screenshots.

The problem manifested it self for the first time in December 18, 2018. Everything before that, the screenshots looked better in HDR than SDR form.

Might be something to do with the achievements pop up notification being in SDR, so when one pops the screen goes back to SDR then once it goes off the screen it goes back to HDR.

Like I said, it's pretty game breaking, and I've had the issue for months.

Hello

When your playing a HDR compatible games it will change your TV setting over to HDR Colour Settings automatically, So when your viewing your HDR recorded videos your TV is set to SDR that is why your seeing it grey.

Thanks! One of my friends mentioned something similar.

That is not the issue I'm having...
