    Games aren’t triggering HDR or auto HDR


    I had moved down to beta after always being on alpha skip ahead on my SX a while back. Recently, I didn’t feel like HDR was on and sure enough, it was not.

    No games are going into HDR or auto HDR. I can make it go into HDR by opening calibrate HDR for games so I know it’s not my TV or HDMI cable. The Xbox TV details says it should be working.

    HDR

    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.

    Series X doesn't recognize 120hz tv

    Hmm, you have two more settings than I do auto hdr and Dolby vision for gaming. Let me look into those two things and see why they aren’t showing. I really appreciate your help here.

    HDR Issues ONLY When Playing 4K UHD Disc

    I think we've found the issue, but it still resolves a fix on Microsoft's end. In the Sony TV settings Dynamic Range is set to "Auto".

    When playing games, streaming content, watching regular Blu-Rays, and watching 4K UHD with HDR turned OFF the TV works perfectly with the "Auto" setting.

    When playing 4K UHD with HDR turned on the Dynamic Range setting on the TV needs to be changed from "Auto" to "Limited". This resolved the issue.

    But, if you leave "Limited" on for doing anything else the picture looks messed up.

    It seems as if the Xbox One S isn't triggering HDR properly. If you go to the Reddit link you can see the information described in Update 5.

    Xbox Series X - Auto HDR not working?

    I understand that. But I had read that Batman: Arkham Knight does support Auto HDR.

    Can you suggest game(s) that support Auto HDR so I can verify that it works?

    4k HDR

    Unless I'm reading it wrong - which I hope I'm not - the OP is stating that Fortnite and Apex aren't showing HDR, but the others are. Fortnite
    doesn't support HDR, it's an SDR only game. I'm pretty sure this applies to Apex as well.

    If you run HDR on a none HDR enabled game, it won't look right. All the colours and saturation will be far too high. If HDR is set to auto and is working for other games that have HDR, then that's how it's supposed to work.
