4K HDR through USB port on Sony XH 95 - washed out image

by EdglerVess2000

Hi

I have a Sony XH 9505 65" and I am running 4K HDR movie files through the USB port (using a pen).

This is my first 4k TV, so naturally I got some 4k movies with it! So I popped in some movies and I noticed that the colors seemed muted and less vibrant and very dark on some scenes. Almost unwatchable

I remember seeing this in 1080p and the colors were much brighter, so I tested it with movies I have in both formats and indeed it is true. I played some 4k content in Youtube, that is plenty bright.

Why is that? Thanks

Washed out images happen when there's something wrong with HDR. For instance when the TV doesn't support HDR and the file is, or viceversa.

Try playing with the HDR options in both the media player and the TV.
