HDR Broken on old Dashboard

Unlike the PS5, the Xbox dashboard is displayed in SDR, which is why HDR turns off when you close down the HDR calibration tool.

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 can't explain the time difference or how it goes about doing it but its most likely just how the specific monitor handles hdr as the blank screen is what happens when hdr gets turned off as it isn't enabled in the dashboard only for games and media.

Also as of now that's just the way it is as there's no option to enable it for the dashboard

I do not think it is HDR. The videos are from a (2 year old) Panasonic LX100 and from my iphone 6s+. I do not think that they have HDR. My TV is also 2 years old, so it should not have HDR too. The Batman v. Superman UHD BD worked well BTW.

No need ask anyone

It won't be pleasant the hdr

It's not a setting it's your tv

It supports old stamdards and doesn't output enough to do hdr on most devices just ps4

Apps won't accept the hdcp that old to do hdr and yes that's why sony doesn't support uhd on ps4

You need the hdcp 2 for 4k apps
