    Why is Microsoft not allowing HDR on lower resolutions?


    Since the Xbox One X|S were released, HDR has been locked to 4K only. It's the same on the next gen consoles. Playstation and PC doesn't do this so why are Microsoft continuing to do it? I've seen many people asking them to change it but they won't answer back.

    When will Xbox support HDR on 1080p?

    HDR can run on any resolution, it's just a matter of Xbox being the only device that does not support it on lower resolutions other than 4k, which is quite stupid if you ask me.

    Xbox One X on the LG C9 Oled TV doesn’t use HDR for resolutions other than 4K

    Are you sure about that? Microsoft doesn’t mention this anywhere. I’ve seen reports from people with 1440p HDR monitors who said were able to use HDR@1440p in Xbox...

    I do believe it’s a bug in the Xbox, on 4k TVs it doesn’t allow HDR for lower resolutions.

    My use case for using 1440p@120Hz is because of much lower input lag and also less tearing and judder (the TV supports VRR). But losing HDR kills it.

    Microsoft should fix this. Perhaps there wasn’t a use case for it before, but now a lot of 4K TVs (Samsung and LG) are popping up with 1440p@120Hz and it’s actually a better experience than 4k@60Hz.

    Here is a quote from Reddit by a guy that has a 1440p monitor with HDR working:

    1440p

    You have to select "Allow 4K" and "Allow HDR" in order to use HDR, but you do not need to set your resolution to 4K.

    Then you can set your screen resolution to 1440p, and all the work is done in the Xbox, without needing the monitor to downsample anything.

    Happy Gaming!

    I'd like to have hdr work on 1440p monitor if possible

    While 1440P 120Hz and HDR is still well within the bandwidth for this resolution on HDMI 2.0, currently Microsoft has locked HDR behind 4K resolutions. With your display being 1440P and HDMI 2.0, selecting 'Allow 4K' would limit you to 60Hz.

    Why does metro Exodus keep turning my Xbox off.

    You mean you have already done reinstalling the game? It is also weird that it only happens to that specific game though. Can you go to your video resolution and disable hdr then just lower down the resolution to see if that will help?
