Hey tariqosuave -

As you mention that you are part of the Xbox One Preview Program, I recommend popping over to

their forums and seeing if any others are experiencing this, or similar, issues.

Thanks for understanding.

Well, make sure the TV is HDR capable. Some less expensive sets are not. They will be 4k UHD (which is the resolution) but not have High Dynamic Range. Also make sure it's HDMI 2.0 compliant (if it's HDR capable it will be 2.0 compliant). Some sets may
have 3 or 4 HDMI inputs but only 1 will be HDR capable, so make sure that you connect whatever device you want to view at HDR to a capable input. As somewhat of a snobby home theater enthusiast, I will tell you straight up to go with Sony or Samsung. They
are by far the best (with Sony on top). If you want to venture into the OLED level of performance, you could probably add LG to that list, but in my experience, LG is unreliable. I would still stick with Sony though.

As far as the difference goes... It's big. I play a lot of Forza Horizon 3. The graphics are great at 1080p and even better at standard 4k, but when you go to 4k with HDR, it's like a whole new game. Probably a bigger difference than moving from 1080p to
standard 4k. Case in point is the sky in FH3. At regular 4k, it looks beautiful with striking colors. At 4k with HDR, those colors come almost magically to life. It's like going from looking at a photograph of a sky to looking at the sky in real life. It actually
looks lit. It's hard to describe but the difference made my jaw drop, and that's hard to do at this point.

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.
