Some of you might have seen that I bought a new TV recently: Sony Bravia KD-49XG9005
It's a FALD LED TV so it shouldn't have problems showing HDR they way it's meant.
However, I have problems with gaming in HDR. Youtube HDR videos look amazing, the colors melt my eyes but for some reason, games are very disappointing. I have a launch PS4 and an Xbox One S, both used with the HDMI cables they come with on port 2 and 3 of the TV (these are the more advanced hdmi ports on the tv).
At best there is next to no difference in HDR mode, and in most of the cases the result is that the image becomes darker and the colors look washed out. Honestly, Horizon Zero Dawn and Forza Horizon 4 look better in sdr, they have more vibrant colors. I was also told that the neon in Infamous SS would be awesome but I can only see a minimal difference, while the game itself becomes very dark. I tried calibrating the TV settings too but no luck.
What can be the problem?
