    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.

    :)

    Xbox One S HDR Bug

    I am having a similar issue on my Xbox One S connected directly to my Samsung JS8500 tv. When I open the netflix app the screen becomes very dim and the screen doesn't return to normal until the app is quit. HDR content looks great using the Netflix app
    on my TV by the way, not dim at all.

    Xbox One S screen dims when Netflix is launched

    Generally HDR content is meant to be viewed in a completely pitch black room. Try max-ing out the back light, turn on Smart LED function, and set Dynamic Contrast to medium.

    Xbox one S, Netflix dims screen when HDR is enabled

    I've had the same issue since the one S came out. The only way to stop the dimming effect is to shut off HDR in the Xbox settings. Not sure if this is an MS issue or a Netflix issue. But seeing as I can cast 4k hdr Netflix from my phone directly to the tv
    with no dimming, my money's on MS issue

    My Opinions, Thoughts and Concerns.

    Did you have an Xbox 360, pkvas? The screen never dimmed while watching movies of any sort (Dvd, Netflix, Streaming media from PC..etc). It's only when idle and no action at all that it goes dim. If the 360 has the feature, why not carry that over to
    the Xbox One. It's a pretty big deal for a lot of people. You might not understand it completely, but it is.
