No 4K without HDR (xbox one x)

Hi so everytime i enable hdr and 4k in my xbox display settings it says my tv completely supports 4k.

However when i disable HDR it says my tv does not support any 4k or hdr features.

PLEASE HELP as i would love to play certain games without hdr due to input lag being a bummer.

Thanks in advance for any replies

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.

Thanks!! Really useful info! I solved this by switching the XB1X to the HDMI1 port which (apparently) was already set to HDR10. But I didn't know I myself could set this to the other 3 ports as well! Thanks again!

Would totally depend on your TV, but as long as your HDMI cables, TV, and Xbox are all 4k, HDR enabled. then you're fine. But note, not all games are 4k HDR.

Hello

If you have a 4K HDR TV you would need to Enable HDR in the Settings of your TV.

Many TV manufacturer disabled HDR and it needs to be turned on manually.

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?
