    HDR dark dull and washed out


    Hello all! I have had my Xbox for a while now and I had hdr up and running for a while until their was an update going back 6-12 months ago which made Horizon 3 really dull and dark was when displaying hdr. Every game I try with hdr isn’t just dull and dark!
    I have a PS4 Pro and every game with hdr is perfect! My tv isn’t the Sony X930C. Their must be a some serious setting so somewhere to fix this issue or is i a Sony tv issue? I have googled it everywhere and I cant see a fix coming anywhere. Are there settings
    that fix this? Thanks

    :)

    HDR on LG OLED - dull and washed out

    Every time HDR kicks in on my console on forza, UHD blurays or Netflix the image becomes dull, dark and washed out.

    The tv plays HDR perfectly fine using the tv's built In Netflix app. I've tried all picture modes on the tv I.e vivid, game, odd etc and All do the same with hdr content from the console. I note that the last firmware update states part of it was to fix
    washed out images using HDR on certain tv's. Could it be my one has slipped through the net?

    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

    Hdr washed out colors and dimmer during hdr content

    I have this problem on my Samsung 65" KS9000. I will get a message from the TV that HDR content is playing and then the video goes dull/washed out. The TV video settings themselves haven't changed. If I view the TV menu or open an app on the TV, color
    is normal. When I minimize GOW4 or Netflix, the Xbox dashboard is dull and washed out. If I open a non HDR Xbox app like Youtube, colors will go back to normal. Go back into Gears of War 4, Netflix or the Bluray player, video goes bad. Even adjusting in
    game brightness/HDR and the TV settings will not help because the color is so bad.

    Xbox One S HDR Bug

    Add me to the list. I have a Vizio M55-D0, firing up Netflix causes washed out colors and is system wide until Netflix is exited out of. Even when playing an HDR title (Marco Polo) HDR isn't turning on and the colors are still washed out. Using SmartCast
    HDR works just fine with Netflix.
