HDR too bright at night

Schoenau1983 · Mar 2, 2020

Hi i have a very irritating issue with my xbox one S in HDR mode.

I play on a samsung Q70r with all energysavers turned off.

So here‘s what happens.

When i play at daytime my contrast is as it should be,

but at night i have a „white fog“ over my screen it seems to me after 2 weeks of testing that there is something wrong with hdr settings coming from my xbox one s.

First i thought it is my tv, but after checking all possible options (Dimmer, Energysaver etc.) i can surly say, no.

So i came to test HDR settings in Forza Horizon 4 (btw Jurassic World Evolution does the same at night)

After all testing it has do to something with the whitepoint.

These are my settings at daytime (kontrast is A+), turned down the contrast on my iphone to better show what i mean. At around 1000 my whitepoint seems to be ok. The forza logo is nearly faded out...

At Night with the same tv settings and nothing else changed, i have to set the whitepoint to 9300 tonlet the logo nearly disappear

When start my xbox at daytime and play until its night, everything is fine. But when i start my xbox at night some voodoo happens )

Any solutions?

I know you said you've tried all settings on the TV, but are you sure you don't have some kind of setting activated that adjusts screen properties (e.g., brightness) according to ambient light?

Think the same thing. Not necessary from a camera ( Samsung70R don't have one) but from his internal clock.

Hi there

Is this only happening on one game or is multiple just have to double check in case there a bug in the game above.

Forza Horizon 4 and Jurassic World Evolution are my only games in HDR, both games make the same. Right at daytime and far too bright at night
