HDR and SDR taking long to alternate between each other

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?

I have the xbox one x with a 4k tv it does take the 4k hdr pictures its just when they upload to my phone or twitter it looks like the sdr version and not 4k hdr

Take a look at this :

"Xbox One X als UHD Blu-ray Player: SDR besser als HDR?"
in youtube

I have the exact same problem with HDR.

Moreover, in games, I see no differences with the HDR feature activated or deactivated

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.

It depends which HDR+ you are referring to:

- HDR+ (found on older models): My understanding is this is basically a fake HDR....the TV interprets and SDR signal and then extrapolates it to an HDR image. Basically, found on cheaper models;

- HDR10+ (found on newer models): This is, in essence, HDR but with some extra bits thrown in. The image is still the same quality, it just has extra. This article explains the differences between normal HDR10 and HDR10+:
