Just got the Battlefield 1 Bundle in last week. Completely new to Xbox, was wondering if Battlefield 1 still isn't HDR capable, or if i'm just overlooking something, because when I play the game HDR isn't triggered on my TV?

Also, on the Amazon Prime App when I try to watch a UHD show or movie (The Man in High Castle) it doesn't trigger the HDR setting of my tv?

And when I open Netflix it automatically triggers the HDR setting before I even click on a movie/show in HDR.

Anyone have any ideas on this, or about this? I know it's the Xbox, because my Tv's native apps work as they should with the UHD content. Also, I have all of the Video output settings correctly set on the Xbox, and have all the green checkmarks indicating all is well. As i'm new to the world of xbox i'm wondering if i'm just overlooking something, or if these are known problems? Google hasn't really cleared anything up for me.

On the plus side, the UHD Bluray Player & UHD copy of The Revenant look incredible!

Don't believe the games take advantage of HDR, but 4k bluray does? The games are not 4k,the output of the Xbox is. The next gen Xbox is supposed to be actual 4k games.

My research into things before buying them has been very lacking lately.

Apparently there are different HDR's and the TV (small bedroom one) which has HDR wasnt the HDR (10) that my xbox requires.

Yeah, certain games take advantage of HDR, and Battlefield is listed as one of those games according to multiple sites, however I can't find a patch or anything like that. And the uhd bluray also incorporates hdr as well, actually that's the only thing that seems to work flawlessly.

Are 4k HDR TVs a must?

If you're buying a 4K TV. I just got a 4K HDR from LG and can't go back.

I have an LG 65UH8500 TV and have the same issue with netflix activating HDR as soon as the app loads. Have you heard of any progress getting this addressed so that non-HDR content plays with the regular settings?
