Samsung JS8500 4k UHD Setting

Centurion 2I · Aug 22, 2016

On this television it has a UHD Color mode that i have to activate in the menu for each individual HDMI port. Do i activate this and leave it on for the Xbox One S? Is this what activates HDR?

Thanks in advance

XBOX ONE S poor HDR support with UHD BluRays

My XBOX ONE S is perfectly working in HDR mode with Forza 3 and Gears of War, but it is not with UHD movies.

I have restart the app BluRay Player several time for the XBOX to switch to HDR mode. It is related to all my UHD movies (Lucy, Deadpool, Namibia ...). Sometimes they are working, sometimes they are not.

XBOX One S -- Marantz 7010 -- Samsung JS8500 (UHD Color HDMI enabled). All wires are 18GB/s 4K cables. I double checked connections.

As the games are working properly, I asume there is a general problem with the BluRay Player.

How can this problem be fixed?

Xbox one S does NOT work for UHD

My friends UHD 4K works fine.

Like above, have you gone into the console settings and checked 4K/HDR is enabled?

Also check your TV settings. When I recently got my new Samsung I had to go into settings and enable HDR etc

Yes, leave it on for the HDMI port connected to Xbox One S. It'll only use UHD Color when displaying HDR content and you'll get a notification. Otherwise TV image settings are used.

I can say that my Samsung 4K UHD needed to have 4k activated in the HDMI settings of the TV. Also not all HDMI ports on all 4K TV's are capable of 4K.

so under display settings it says

resolution: 4K HDR, 1080p, 720p,

so i pick 4K it says wait and then 10secs pass it says that didnt work. check to make sure your tv can run 4k.

so i run the "test" it asks. which is where all the green checkmarks are there, aside from Dolby Vision.

again; 65" 4K UHD Samsung TV. xbox is plugged into ARC hdmi.

samsung tv has general - external devices - uhd color output ON for hdmi 1 and 2.

The LG UHD 4K TVs are really nice and capable of running 4K for the Xbox One X. They are a little more affordable compared to Samsung.

I have a similar Samsung TV (UN65KU6290F) and I was facing the same issue when trying to set up HDR on my Xbox One S.

All I had to do was go to the TV settings and turn on "HDMI UHD Color", and then all of the items in the 4K/HDR list got a green checkmark. On your TV, go to
Home > Settings > General > External Device Manager > HDMI UHD Color. You may also want to check for firmware updates on your TV.
