    Xbox One S HDR dark/dim screen


    I have a Samsung 55JS8500, Xbox One S has all green checkmarks for 4k and HDR. Whenever I launch Netflix or Forza Horizon 3, and the HDR kicks in, the screen becomes dim and dull. I want to know if there is a fix coming for this?

    I'd also like to add that it definitely is not my TV. I recently purchased a PS4 Pro and the HDR content on that console works 100%.. so I know for sure that it's the Xbox.

    :)

    Xbox one s HDR not working on Samsung tv

    I have an Xbox one S and the HDR is not working correctly. The 4K is fine but when I turn on the HDR for a 4K blu-ray or a HDR game like gears of war 4, the screen becomes very dark and dim instead of making the picture better and more vibrant. I have
    a Samsung TV and I have heard of others having the same problem with multiple 4K TV brands. Please any help would be great.

    Xbox One S screen dims when Netflix is launched

    I recently purchased an Xbox One S and have noticed the screen dims when I launch the Netflix app. The dim screen remains, even on the home screen, and only goes away when the Netflix app is totally closed.

    From reading other forums, it sounds like it's an HDR issue, but I am curious if there is a solution for this?

    Thanks.

    It's not the TV's the Xbox One S is the problem, the TV apps that use HDR look beautiful in HDR while the one the XBox One S they appear to be dark, with washed out colors. This need to be addressed soon because ignoring it is just making it much worse as
    the problem spreads and more and more people are moving to 4k hdh tv's

    Xbox One X HDR dimming problem!

    Hello,

    My xbox one x has an issue with loading games in HDR. When a game or netflix starts up. My screen dims dark. Like it fade away. All colours are dark and not bright.

    I have a 4K/HDR tv with a 10 bit panel. And it doenst work.

    I tried everything. Switching settings from my tv and xbox, hard reset, different HDMI 2.0 port and cabel. Only HDR in 8 bit mode doenst go dark. But I know my TV has an working 10 bit panel that works with other content beside my xbox one x.
    Same here. It looks as if you have screen dim on as a power saving feature. The problem with this bug is that dims the screen as soon as you start and play an hdr game or app.
