No chance for 4K/HDR resolution - don´t know why!

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

Hi Duffmyster,

If you have all check boxes for the HDR / 4K you should be good to go. Why do you think that you're not receiving 4K resolution? Do you have Netflix or something, where you can see if there is a 4K category, or see if HDR / 4K is listed under something like
Defenders?

As far as I can tell it does not specifically state that HDR10 is required just to set the 4k resolution (just that it is required for HDR), that wouldn't even make sense. HDR10 is not required for something to display content in a specific resolution, the
resolution 3840x2160 doesn't require HDR to work, resolution is independent of HDR.

And I already know that my TV doesn't support HDR or at least doesn't support the HDR10 protocol, but that is fine, I don't care about HDR, but I do care about running things in the 3840x2160 resolution at 60Hz (which my TV definitely supports). If this
is the case MS has made a device that only works with like 10 models of TV's... why are they even selling this?

Seems to me like either a bug or an arbitrary restriction put in place to make people go spend $1500-$5000 on a brand new 2016 OLED TV supporting HDR10. I see no legitimate technical reason that the resolution can't be set to 4k without HDR. Even 4k blu-rays
with HDR do not require the TV to have HDR, it just shows the film minus the HDR details when played on a non-HDR TV.

This is what I like to call total hog wash and MS needs to fix it.

so then why would the resolution not go to 4k?

as simple as it seems, its a little odd.

so my tv is samsung 65" 4K UHD HDR

xbox one S connected to hdmi 2 (ARC)

I don't know what they are aware off but it is false the Xbox one S can run 4k or 1080p same goes with HDR it is optional to change the resolution go to settings - display & sound - video output - TV resolution - 4k - 1080p
