I really appreciate your help (and everyone else's) in the thread, but changing the settings didn't really help. Like I see the picture is totally different without these post process effects but the hdr is still disappointing. The following games showed little no difference: AC Origins, Uncharted 4, Horizon, Infamous. Infamous for example only darkens the picture insanely but the neon doesn't pop out more. Well it pops out more because it stays bright while everything else gets dark, but it's basically the same as in sdr except I can see the world if I play in sdr. Is this really what I should see? I don't believe so. I saw a hdr demonstration video that is comparable to Infamous. It was a dark night with neon lights around buildings. The difference between sdr and hdr were night and day. In hdr, while it became darker at the same time the colourful lights popped out more, giving a realistic look to it. I would expect the same for Infamous but it's not like that in Infamous..
God Of War and Doom Eternal looks better, if I play with the settings. Though I'm not sure if that's the merit of the hdr mode or it would result in this too if those settings were available in sdr mode.
I'm really at a loss here. Like I know the TV Is capable of properly showing hdr content, because I saw it with my own eyes, but the games I mentioned were always praised for their hdr mode and no matter what I do, I don't get that feeling as others. I understand that this is a hit or miss in games, but if others are praising these games' hdr modes, surely I should see something more. I'm quite frustrated because I spent much more money than I first intended to buy a new TV and I only did this because I wanted to see what is this fuss about hdr gaming. Do you guys have any other idea what could be the problem? Faulty hdmi ports possible? Or I wouldn't see anything at all in that case? My biggest hope is that it's just because of the base consoles...
