HDR games broken, psychadelic display on xbox one x

JimReese61 · Nov 23, 2017

I've been using my new xbox one x for 11 days, playing Call of Duty II on new UHD HDR TV with no problem. This morning, when I started COD, the screen distorted into psychadelic colors like a bad acid trip (I'm told). I confirmed same issue with Halo 3
and Insects demo, while other non-HDR games and the home screen continue to display without issue. Also confirmed TV is OK by watching UHD HDR movies streamed through Roku/Amazon video.

Looks like a chip failure/issue, since it was working for over a week, and this morning just started seeing this issue.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

XBOX ONE X HDR look dark and blurry with "TCL 55P605" TV ?

The TCL website has some instructions on how to configure your TV to let the Xbox One X fully utilize 4K: TCL | America’s Fastest Growing TV Brand

Verify that your TV is capable of HDR by going to the Xbox One X display settings and open "4K TV details".

In the Xbox One X display settings, ensure you have "color depth" set to at least "30 bits per pixel (10-bit)" to enable HDR.

A HDR game list for Xbox One S?

Erm........................You do realise that any game that runs on the Xbox One X also runs on the Xbox One S? And because of this, any game that is HDR on the Xbox One X is also HDR on the Xbox One S.

So basically, any game you find that is HDR on the Xbox One X is also HDR on the Xbox One S

Display HDR 1000 is a VESA Certification of HDR capability. This monitor having Display HDR 1000 means that it meets VESA's highest requirements for an HDR display.

This monitor should work beautifully for Xbox One X. You can see more information on the Display HDR ratings here.

Happy Gaming!

Hi,

Only the Xbox One S and the One X support HDR. HDR isn't linked to resolution, so, technically, HDR can work at 1080P. However, in the interest of not confusing consumers, Microsoft have locked HDR to 4K displays only, which is mostly industry standard
anyway. I'm pretty sure even 1440P doesn't support HDR on One S or One X either.

I understand that HDR is not related to resolution and that most 1080P displays that do support it are less common that 4K displays, but there are definitely models that do, mine included.

I can play PS4 games on 1080P with HDR but not XB1 games.. I don't understand why MS isn't supporting HDR alongside 1080P ?

The KDL-32W660E is an 8-bit display, the Xbox One X requires a 10-bit display with wide color gamut in order to use it's HDR.

I'm surprised the PS4Pro works at all but looking it up Sony advertised these TV's as a low cost way to get Playstation HDR gaming, given the specs on these displays, an 8-bit IPS panel with edge LED backlight on paper they barely count as HDR capable panels.

All I can say is it's extremely unlikely you will ever get HDR out of Xbox on these displays.
