    Unable to enable HDR despite having a capable TV


    Hi there,

    I have the following TV:

    https://www.sony.com.au/electronics...projectors-lcd-tvs/kdl-43w660f/specifications

    Under 'Specifications' it reads:

    HDR (High Dynamic Range) compatibility:


    Yes (HDR10, HLG) *1

    I've enabled 'Auto HDR' in the Xbox Series S video settings, but despite this the HDR options in games are grayed out and the app HDR game calibration says I don't have a HDR capable TV.

    Am I misunderstanding the different types of HDR or is there an extra setting I have to enable on my TV/Xbox?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    -Juan

    :)

    It not a lie but you aren't realizing the issue

    Hdmi1.4 is ancient so is hdcp1.4 you are talking about tech released over 10 years ago

    He wants to run HDR on 1080 with hdmi 1.4

    You are going to get flickering

    HDMI scales down not up when dealing with older standards

    Here is a history lesson for you from.the article I posted

    "The issue appears to be related to HDCP, the digital copy protection that’s built into the HDMI connection between the PS4 Pro and the TV. Sony launched the PS4 in 2013 with HDMI 1.4, the then-current HDMI specification. The introduction of HDR has brought forth HDMI 2.0a along with HDCP 2.2"

    That tv he is using is to sony ps4 since it only supports 1

    Thanks everyone for your replies.

    So would I be right in thinking that while I can't make use of the HDR settings on Xbox, on PS4 I can?

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    To use HDR with Xbox you need a TV that has 4k. From the link you sent your TV it appears to be Full HD.

    No as it's not console hdr vompatible

    You didn't read the specs right For hdr

    That panel is ancient

    It won't even support hdr let alone hdr10.

    1080p is rare support for hdr

    It's was only in the early stages but the standards have evolved

    That panel uses the ancient hdcp1.4 even hdmi 1.4 doesn't support hdr

    You need at least 2 for hdr and 2.2 for hdr10

    No need ask anyone

    It won't be pleasant the hdr

    It's not a setting it's your tv

    It supports old stamdards and doesn't output enough to do hdr on most devices just ps4

    Apps won't accept the hdcp that old to do hdr and yes that's why sony doesn't support uhd on ps4

    You need the hdcp 2 for 4k apps
