Sony (Audio/Video Receivers) DH800: 4K HDR washed out/Dim
I have the same issue as well. I have the Sony Bravia X900E 65 inch and it's doing the same exact thing. When i turn HDR off the picture actually looks better.

Xbox one s 4k blu ray hdr problem

First of all I have a Samsung ju6500 4k tv and on the 4k tv details I have all green check marks.

I noticed when I have the HDR on my 4k blu rays look extremely washed out and the colors look dim. Whats weird is if I press the home button the blu ray in the preview box actually looks amazing and vivid. How I imagine the movie should look but as soon
as I select it and expand it fullscreen a dim washed out layer goes over it all. As far as I can tell it is capable of producing a great image but as soon as the image is expanded full screen something kicks in and ruins it.

Hdr washed out colors and dimmer during hdr content

I have a Sony Bravia xbr55x850c 4k tv and ive set up everything correctly. The Xbox one s

green check marks saying the tv allows 4K hdr video and gaming everything is checked.

So when I go into hdr content such as gears 4 the tv flickers indicating it's in hdr mode then the colors

actually look worse. They look washed out and dimmer the complete opposite of what hdr should be. Help?

Same problem here... With my Sony Bravia x90e (KD-55XE9005).

All is checked with a green mark the the video setting of the console (4k, HDR, etc.).

The correct HDMI input is used on the TV and the enhanced feature is activated (to allow 4k and HDR)

My TV activate de HDR logo during HDR content... But for some reason all HDR contents look washed out.

It is like the console send a picture for HDR that is not processed ...

The black levels and colors are far better with the HDR option deactivated in console.

I have no HDR problems with internal apps of the tv or with the PS4.

Same here with a Samsung KS7000, connected with the XBOX ONE S original HDMI cable and with all the correct settings enabled (HDMI UHD Color, XBOX settings, etc.). All the HDR content like 4K HDR blu-rays or games like NBA 2K17 look like the colors are
washed out. Everything seems dimmed, like having a white filter.

I bought XBOX ONE S to be used as a game console but also as a blu-ray player to complement my 4K HDR TV. Please Microsoft address this issue and solve it ASAP.

Thanks!!

I have the same issue but it happens with anything HDR including Forza Horizon 3. When content with HDR enabled kicks in the Xbox flashes black and then auto dims until the app that is using HDR is closed. It really sucks because it washes out the colors.
The Netflix app on my TV with HDR doesn't do this so it rules out my TV as the issue. What's going on?

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
