    Forza Horizon 3 - Dark / Washed-Out Colors on Xbox One X & Sony X850E


    No matter the brightness / HDR settings in FH3 all colors look washed-out, almost like you took a full color image and reduced the color saturation by 30-40% and the game is overall darker than it should be. All other X enhanced
    games look great (Witcher, Gears, etc).

    I should say the issue is with the demo, although I was told this was updated / patched as well. I'm definitely super interested in buying the full game but if it looks like this I'll have to pass sadly.

    TV recognizing entire Netflix app as HDR

    I have the same issue with my sony X850e - it's really ****, Netflix doesn't care - I've talked to their support many times. Everything works great on my One X and my TV except for Netflix. Boots up and the entire App is HDR - dark, gray, and washed-out
    colors. If I disable HDR on my tv or xbox and reset the app it looks/works fine.

    Xbox One S HDR washed out

    I'm having the same problem with my Vizio P75-C1.

    Netflix app shows washed out colors, and so does Forza 3 Horizon

    Only UHD HDR Blurays are working... Very frustrating, especially after paying $99 for the early access to Forza.

    Xbox one S, Netflix dims screen when HDR is enabled

    I have the same issue but it happens with anything HDR including Forza Horizon 3. When content with HDR enabled kicks in the Xbox flashes black and then auto dims until the app that is using HDR is closed. It really sucks because it washes out the colors.
    The Netflix app on my TV with HDR doesn't do this so it rules out my TV as the issue. What's going on?

    HDR dark dull and washed out

    I assume you are using an Xbox One S/X, which supports 4K/HDR.

    Some 4K TV's only display 4K/HDR through one HDMI port. Is this the case with yours? You can also check your TV settings to make sure 4K(UHD)/HDR/HDMI 2.0 is enabled over the HDMI port. Verify that HDR is enabled in your Xbox display settings (set Color
    depth to 10-bit, ensure HDR is enabled in the advanced settings).

    Since the PS4 Pro seems to be getting HDR color over one of your HDMI ports, what happens if you were to swap it with your Xbox? Do you get your HDR colors back?
    I have a Xbox S and will soon be getting the X.

    I have turned all HDMI cables on to the Enhanced mode to support HDR etc. I have tried swapping the hdmi over between the PRO and S ... The settings on the Tv are exactly the same as the PS4 Pro. There must be a setting on the S that I'm missing? It used
    to work until there was an update about a year ago which then made everything on the xbox dull and dark, as if they have messed up the signal or something. Maybe the RGB colours are wrong etc?

    The games I have tried are:

    Sea Of Thieves - Dull dark and washed out

    Forza Horizon 3 - dark and dull.

    Zoo Tycoon - an absolute mess (Very dark and hardly any colour what so ever.

    I can post pictures to show you the difference... I just want it to bloody work!

    Thanks in advance
