HDR in non 4k Resolutions on Series X and S

Yes we need to let microsoft know.

They are selling series s as 1440p hdr console while not support hdr on resolution other than 4k

The series s isn't meant to run at 4k

1440p or 1080p at most with 60hz to 120max

With most only supporting 60fps

The reason why you are getting bad results is the series s can't handle 4k with hdr and vvr and you are going to drop a lot of frames because you are using the hardware past its limits

Games will put.down the resolution as needed but you won't like the results

The Xbox series x and xbox one x are 4k consoles

you need hdr for 4k output

Actually, you don't.

Uhd and hdr are required for 4k output

You need UHD, in the sense that you need the TV to support 3840 x 2160 resolution, but you don't need HDR enabled to reach 4K. UHD 4K is the amount of screen resolution available measured in pixels, HDR is the ability of the TV or monitor to display more
natural colours.

Note that the Xbox One S can do HDR in games that support such a feature, but regardless of what resolution you set, all games max out at 1080P internally. If the display is 4K, it will remain in 4K, but games will only be upscaled. Only the Xbox One X
can play Enhanced titles in 4K natively.

You should be able to disable HDR, how you disable it depends entirely on your TV. Disabling HDR via the TV settings should not disable 4K screen resolution. Indeed, some Xbox One games do not support HDR, Fallout 4 on the One X can play in 4K for instance,
but it does not support (or indeed have an option for) HDR.

On my Sony Bravia Android based TV, I had to go to the main settings and enable HDR functionality. Even then, I had to set the HDR setting to 'Auto' on the HDMI port I have my console connected to. If you have HDR set to 'On' all of the time, non HDR games
will display the wrong colours, look oversaturated. With 'Auto' enabled, HDR will only operate when it detects an HDR supported game. This may not be a feature of your display however.

What make and model is your TV?

Hello Spoons,

We suggest that the following troubleshooting 4K and HDR on Xbox One X and Xbox One S support article is
followed considering that the console is more than likely setup for 4K resolutions as you mentioned switching from a non 4K Xbox One title to Red Dead Redemption 2.

Try following this and let us know if this works.

Best wishes!

Xbox one does NOT SUPPORT 4K gaming

Only the xbox one x and series x

One S nor the original and the series s allows it due to lack of power

Fyi xbox one s only supports 4k movies and streaming

Not games

They downgrade your resolution if it's not supported kn yoir console

So unless syou have.an xbox one x or.series x you don't have 4k

Even if the.game.supports it that's the max resolution not what the game.will.run.at.if you don't meet the above requirements

The discoloration is due to switching back and forth

Unless you havr an x or series x you should nt be running it unless you calibrate it to your tv for streaming and uhd movies which you can with the wizard

Because you are trying to turn on hdr in gaming when your console cannot if you don't havr an one x or serirs x or ps5
