    Screen dimming issue with 4k/hdr


    I have an Xbox series X and an LG gaming monitor which have always worked great.

    Recently, I did a reset on the Xbox to clear the cache. Since then, every time I log into a game, it is super dim and I can barely see. To fix this, I have to turn the screen off and back on, and then it is regular brightness. But each time I exit and return to a game, or go to a new game, it is dim and I have to power cycle the screen again.

    This was never an issue before the reset. I have checked all the settings on both the monitor and my Xbox and all seem normal.

    Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

    :)

    Screen dimming issue with 4k/hdr

    Hello ScottMunro5 how are you?
    My name is Ezequiel I'm an Independent Consultant. I believe the problem is in the HDR setting. Enter the HDR option and see if it's not too dark.

    Xbox Series S - HDR with YCC 4:2:2 Problem

    You will see a slight change in colors on your monitor when you turn on HDR. To activate on the console a TV with 4k is required.

    I'm not sure why and if that's the main reason or one of the reasons but a 4k TV screen has more nits than a monitor screen and when you turn on HDR the screen dims a bit

    So the higher the NITS of the screen, the higher the illumination.

    Xbox One X TV issue

    thanks for the prompt feedback. ive checked all the settings for troubleshooting 4k and hdr. my setup is set how they suggest. and yes i am using the cable that came with it, which is why i am able to get 4k and hdr. it looks amazing, its just when the
    screen flickers and goes dim is bothersome. thats the only issue. 4k and hdr work fine and all the 4k games and those available with hdr support all show there working fine. i will sign up for the xbox inside program as well

    Xbox one S, Netflix dims screen when HDR is enabled

    I've had the same issue since the one S came out. The only way to stop the dimming effect is to shut off HDR in the Xbox settings. Not sure if this is an MS issue or a Netflix issue. But seeing as I can cast 4k hdr Netflix from my phone directly to the tv
    with no dimming, my money's on MS issue

    Xbox One X HDR dimming problem!

    Hello,

    My xbox one x has an issue with loading games in HDR. When a game or netflix starts up. My screen dims dark. Like it fade away. All colours are dark and not bright.

    I have a 4K/HDR tv with a 10 bit panel. And it doenst work.

    I tried everything. Switching settings from my tv and xbox, hard reset, different HDMI 2.0 port and cabel. Only HDR in 8 bit mode doenst go dark. But I know my TV has an working 10 bit panel that works with other content beside my xbox one x.
    Same here. It looks as if you have screen dim on as a power saving feature. The problem with this bug is that dims the screen as soon as you start and play an hdr game or app.
