I think the Xbox only supports HDR for 1440p and 4K, I've never personally seen HDR at 1080.

Because if you have HDR, you have 4K, 99% of the time

If you tick 'allow 4K' in the console display settings, this should allow you to enable HDR even on a 1440P monitor.

Be aware though that most monitors, bar the more expensive displays, have really, really poor HDR known as 'HDR 400'. The 400 meaning that max brightness is a mere 400 nits. To put that into contrast, decent enough HDR is 600+ Nits and excellent HDR is 1000+

Xbox only support hdr on 4k so we that have a xbox series s and 1080p 1440p hdr 120hz screen cannot get hdr because its not 4k. On ps4 it works tho 1080p hdr.

I have a Samsung CHG70, it supports 1440P 120hz. If you want HDR you have to set it for freesync on the monitor and turn VRR on the xbox. Im hoping the series x supports 1440P 120hz with HDR on and not having to turn freesync on at all because its only
limited to 80fps i believe.
