Troubleshoot display settings

My non-HDR video looks too saturated

Your streaming device's HDR settings are automatically turned on, so the colours in your video might appear too saturated if you play SDR content. To fix the colour, you need to turn on Match content.

HDR video output isn’t working at all

Some TVs may require the HDMI signal format to be set to 'enhanced mode' to support HDR video output. Check your TV display settings to see if 'enhanced mode' is turned on (this may be labelled differently depending on the TV model).
