    Watching HDR Movies on Xbox


    just bought a movie on from the Xbox store in UHD format. Couldn’t watch more than a few minutes without a pause to buffer. I couldn’t find a way to download the movie to my Xbox but figured there had to be a way (especially for these UHD movies). Hoping
    there is answer out there. Thanks!

    :)

    Amazon update

    Sounds like your xbox was turning on HDR as soon as the app opened (like it used to do with Netflix). That is not supposed to be the case. Not all content on amazon is shot in HDR thus HDR mode should not be on if you watching non-HDR content. only some
    amazon originals and a select few movies are in HDR

    Xbox One S - 4k blu ray looks dark

    Hey, you may just be noticing a problem that unfortunately is common with HDR movies. Essentially HDR broadens the range of light-to-dark in movies, allowing it to show brighter highlights and constrastingly deeper lowlights. Effectively, dark scenes/elements
    become darker. If you check some UHD reviews you'll probably see this happens a lot. Older movies suffer particularly badly - I watched Unforgiven in 4k recently and the final showdown in Greeley's was quite hard to make out at times. But it happens in newer
    ones too. I've noticed the 4k of Endgame being quite gloomy in places.
    Thanks for the response.

    Would the HDR issue be relevant to me? My TV is not HDR and my HDR option in the Xbox is off. Can the movie being HDR compliant still cause an issue? Also, from what you said about HDR (there is a broader range of light and dark) when I'm watching 4k
    on mine the dimness level seems to be consistent throughout.

    HDR gaming on Xbox one S?

    I have played on s in HDR and watched 4k Hdr movies on disc. Just go in the section to see what your TV supports. General/TV&display modes/Advanced/Video modes, check allow HDR 10.

    Xbox One X Problem with Hdr on LG E9

    Tryed all modes. the game mode with destiny 2 worked but it seems to me since there wasn’t a singel information from the tv „hdr on“ that there was no hdr. And with a 4k movie there are still the problems also with netflix when i want to watch something
    with hdr.

    OMG! I love my Xbox One so much right now :)

    Until Xbox Slim arrived I never used my Xbox for nothing but gaming, chatting online with mates.

    Always been a big movie/show fan and now being able to watch more 4K/HDR movies my Xbox is no longer just a games machine. My viewing experience just jumped up ALOT!
