All PS4 HDR Compatible Games

Nothing like a bit of Chess Ultra 4K HDR.

Gran Turismo Sport, Ratchet & Clank and Horizon: Zero Dawn are stunning in HDR - they would be the top 3 out of what I have played so far.

Sammy only one month away till dead rising 4 comes out. Are you hyped to review it?

You forgot the witness. Always the game I use to demo HDR

@get2sammyb the question is can i play ps4 pro game that doesn't support hdr.will it make a difference.worrrrrdddd up son

Thankfully my 4k TV supports HDR. I assumed that all games had it and didn't see much of difference while playing them. Now I know why.
Mom's spaghetti.

@get2sammyb
Just wondered what screens you guys at pushsquare use? I've get my pro linked up to an LG OLED B6. It's simply stunning. I may have to go back and play ratchet and clank as first play through was on an old plasma so it would be good to see the difference in 4k and HD.

@get2sammyb
I can't recommend OLED enough, it's amazing every time you see it. My only tip would be do some research but don't buy until the end of April as may is when all new models tend to come out and prices drop fast as retailers try to clear red for new stock. I got my B6 that launch a year earlier at 3k for 1.7k. Still a lot but every time I game or watch a movie I'm like a little kid

I agree with @get2sammyb I've tried my PS4 pro on both a Sony KD-55X8505C and a Samsung UE65JS9500 and I can barely tell the difference between 4K and 1080p when I'm switching modes in Tomb Raider or Horizon but HDR is like night and day, makes an enormous difference.

After hours of tweaking between my TV, Pro, and some help from @BAMozzy, I finally got HDR to work. It definitely is a noticeable change, especially in Horizon. Just wish it hadn't taken me two months and hours of head scratching to get it working!

HDR is amazing! Everyone loves to talk about 4K but HDR is a much bigger deal.

@get2sammyb Sony does have some 1080P HDR tv's.

@get2sammyb I mean can I play a game that doesn't support hdr.if I put the hdr on.will it make a difference.know what I'm saying word up son

@get2sammyb If you start seriously looking for TVs, I would highly recommend doing some Google searches to see if the model has any compatibility issues with consoles and HDR. Mine likes to auto switch to HDR, and so did the PS4, so they were canceling each other out and causing problems. Also, ask BAMozzy, he seems to know his way around TVs!

@gingerfrog I heard the latest lg oled update make the screen not true black anymore, when you play it in the dark room, there's light coming from the screen (when the tv shows black scene), it's that true? Do you have the latest update (v 05.30.03)? I'm not updating my lg b6 yet until I know it's true or not.

@RedMageLanakyn Glad you got it working.

Its not as simple as just plug and play but then that is understandable as its using different parameters and not all TV's are created 'equal' - especially where RGB handling is concerned.

TV's these days are also expected to handle a wider range of sources. The CRT TV's for example were built for SD SDR only content. Then when HD came along, the only change was resolution - it kept the same colour gamuts and contrast levels. Now with 4k, we expect these TV's to handle 540p content (1/16th) as well as HD, 4k, SDR/HDR, interlaced or progressive scanning, with Bluray, streaming, game consoles, STB etc etc and these devices need to communicate as well in some cases - like check for the right encryption for the content and receive the right information back in time.

As I said not all TV's are created equal and that is especially true with HDR at the moment. If you buy a 'Bluray' player/Disc, you know that that has to conform to a set of standards. HDR also has a set of 'minimum' standards (HDR10) and ALL 4k HDR Blurays MUST meet these standards. Dolby Vision (DV) TV's, Bluray discs, Bluray players etc MUST also play HDR10 - the minimum HDR standard and DV is just an added layer on top.

However, when it comes to TV's, only a select 'few' are actually able to meet the HDR10 minimum standards. The rest can be nothing more than a bit brighter - meaning you lose all the extra colours the Wide Colour Gamut offers, you don't get the full benefits of the extra contrast and specular high-lights, In fact an SDR TV 'can' be called a HDR TV IF it will allow you to play HDR content and it will downgrade it to the limits of that TV rather than say 'this content is not recognised'.

As great as HDR 'OLEDs' are, they do have to tone map down ALL HDR content - regardless. They get away with it though because of their greater accuracy and perfect blacks. But as ALL HDR content is mastered at 1000nits+ they have to map the highlights down to ~700nits BUT, like I said, they offer a 'perfect' picture and blacks so it can look more impressive in certain situations. The best Gaming TV's at the moment are the LG B7/C7

LCD's are great at the specular highlights and achieving over 1000nits but can suffer from 'backlight' related issues - Haloing, Bleed etc - even FALD TV's. The current Samsung Q series also have the widest colour gamut and combined with their superior brightness, gives them the greatest colour volume.

If anyone is in the market for a 4k HDR TV, do your research. Look for the UHD Premium logo as that is a guarantee that the TV meets and/or exceeds the 'minimum' standards for HDR10. Not all manufacturers put their TV's up for independent verification though - Sony are one of these. The only 2017 models that 'could' be verified as UHD Premium though are the XE93/94 and A1 OLED. The XE90 doesn't meet the standards BUT its very close. Most of the other LCD's are often 300-500nits. I know these TV's are 'expensive' but if you buy 'cheap', there is no guarantee that HDR will be worth it and in some cases, because of the amount of scaling down a TV has to do, can actually make HDR look worse than SDR. Personally, I think HDR is the 'bigger' upgrade - more so than SD to HD was and certainly more so than HD to 4k is. As such, I think its better to buy a TV with the best HDR performance.

@get2sammyb On the basis that you are including games expecting a HDR patch then Destiny 2 deserves to be on here.

I've found this site to be helpful:
www. rtings. com/tv/reviews/best/by-usage/hdr-gaming

Thanks for the list. Helps me looking for some new games to pick up. I love the HDR support.

Great idea for the article, will definitely use this whenever I get around to buying a new tv

@BAMozzy I appreciate the informative posts!

..I'm glad this is being done - it really is surprising that Sony hasn't officially published (like MS) all PS4Pro / HDR titles... (and forthcoming ones) - yes, there is a 'Pro' section in the store, but it's not great, easily navigatable(?), nor complete... the good thing about XB1X's launch next week is that Sony will now have to up its game again (which I know they will) - because I think they've become a little too complacent of late (25% increase in PSN and for little / nothing in return) - this is the wake-up call they need!

You forgot Agents of Mayhem

@andrew098 No probs - as long as some find them useful, I am happy. I know some may complain that I type a lot and that they are put off from 'reading' them, but at the end of the day, I couldn't care less as long as someone benefits.

@wiiware
Not heard that before. But I haven’t updated yet. I used the digital foundry YouTube video to set my calibration so they might have some answers

@wiiware
Just checked I have my TV up to date and don't have any issues with true black. I've got mine on expert dark using the digital foundry settings. I've been watching bluray HDtv and standard TV plus gaming no issues at all. Hope this helps.

Still ticked off that Tomb Raider doesn't support HDR. If you Google it there's info about it working, but I guess that's on PC. When I first bought the game and fired it up, I was very disappointed. The more time goes by, I fear the less likely it is to happen. PS4 was supposed to get the best version of this game.

just AC: Origins ??? no Syndicate or Unity or Black Flag ???
what about Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 4 ?
and what about all of Tom Clancy's Series ?
and i think there are more Call of Duty Games with HDR...
Gravity Rush Series ? Yakuza Series ?
Fighting Games such as Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, Injustice 2, Mortal Kombat, Naruto Series, Dragon Ball Series and etc ?
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt ?
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris ? Rise of the Tomb Rider ?
Hitman GO ?
Uncharted™: The Nathan Drake Collection ?

Does HDR introduce lag in games?

Not sold on HDR. The quality of the backlighting in your display still makes more of a difference, in my opinion. Then again, no one asked for my opinion.

Uncharted Lost Legacy and NBA 2K18 look amazing with HDR enabled. Oh, and GT Sport of course. Most realistic headlights ever!

HDR on No Man's Sky is the Ultimate Psychedelic Experience!

Now that Xbox X got HDR for Tomb Raider, they better patch that into the PS4 version too...

@BAMozzy question for ya since you seem to know your stuff on TV's. I only have space for a 40" TV in my setup and my options for 4K are pretty limited because of that. A model that I've found that also supports HDR is the Samsung UN40MU6300. It's an older set but in my price range. As far as you can tell is this a good purchase or should I continue to look around?

You still forgot Agents of Mayhem

Star wars Battlefront 1/2, and appaling La noire HDR that makes everythings over red ish, just hope they fix hdr appliance.. because there is a game that works great with hdr, and theres a game are better without hdr, the use of hdr have to be better than without hdr even with default setting (sliders all in the middle) without the need of tweaking it first

@7yL3rB The Samsung MU series are decent 4k gaming TV's. Not that great at HDR though so its up to you. Model numbers are different between the UK and US for example so I don't know exactly which version that is but if its the US 6300, Then you won't be getting any wide colour gamut and peak brightness of around 350nits - meaning HDR is very limited and basically just a bit brighter SDR.

Personally, at the 40" size I would look at the MU7000 (US)/MU6400 (UK) - its very similar to 6300 in brightness but at least has a wider colour gamut for HDR. The MU series improves its HDR the further up you go, but they don't offer 40" sizes so if that is the max size you can go to, the best is the 6400/7000.

Also all the Samsungs - certainly last years (2016) KU and this years (2017) MU series are great for gaming as they have low input lag game modes. I would certainly say though that buying the biggest 4k TV you can is going to be the best option. I can't think of any 'decent' HDR TV's at 40". At 49" you get the excellent Sony XE9005 for example

@BAMozzy thanks for taking the time to give me such an informed answer! 40" is definitely the max for the foreseeable future unfortunately. I hadn't checked out the MU7000 yet so I'll look into that! Honestly I'm upgrading from a very cheap 32" so anything is going to be an improvement, just wanted to make sure I was making a worthwhile investment.

@get2sammyb ghost recon wildlands has hdr and I'm pretty sure the original knack does too. As for tvs definitely check out the Sony xe9005. It's fantastic.

I have a xd8305 which is alright but lacks local dimming so it loses some depth on dark scenes.

@7yL3rB The thing with 4k though is that it really benefits larger screen sizes - not that you won't see any benefits but for some content, the difference is subtle unless you either sit close or go big. Jumping up from a 32" to 40" 1080p would be a improvement.

Gaming though benefits more than film/TV in my opinion from increased resolution. It tends to use a lot of sharp edges - more so than film and therefore its more obvious.

HDR though is not so dependent on screen size. At a distance, 4k and 1080p can be quite indistinguishable but HDR vs SDR is obvious regardless. I think its a bigger change than SD to HD was. Unfortunately, smaller sizes tend not to do HDR very well - at least compared to the UHD Premium standard TV's.

That being said, if you are used to SDR, a wider colour gamut and greater contrast - even if its not up to the minimum standards HDR10 content is mastered to, is still going to be noticeable - as long as the TV has decent tone mapping. The issue though is that some TV's will need to 'dim' the bulk of the image to enable the range of specular highlights. Most of a HDR image is in the 0-200/250nits range with the highlights reaching upto 4000nits in some cases but if your TV is only 350nits, assuming it keeps the bulk of the image the same, it only leaves 250-350nits to fit 250-4000nit highlights into it. Therefore. some TV's will compress the bulk of the image down (dim it) to give the highlights a bigger range. This can make HDR seem 'dimmer' than SDR and not great for bright rooms. Some tone mapping algorithms clip highlights so everything above a certain point is displayed the same brightness losing a lot of the highlight detail. Instead of seeing the 'bolt' of lightning which would be the brightest you just get a white shapeless blob as all the detail is clipped.

I understand though that not everyone can afford a UHD Premium TV or have room for one. The MU7000 (or 6400 in the UK) is probably the best at the 40" for 4k gaming. Its HDR is 'functional' and in general should be a noticeable upgrade over SDR even if its not able to deliver the minimum standards for HDR10. It should still be an upgrade over a cheap 1080p TV. Even for SDR content, the deeper blacks should make the PQ look better. Just make sure you sit head-on as VA panels tend to have narrower viewing angles.

As a 40" 4k gaming TV, I think you would be hard pressed to find something better. I think RTINGs rates it as the best in size and it has excellent input lag too.

@get2sammyb ah I see it. I was looking under G!

@gingerfrog the LG B6 is a beautiful tv. I prefer the Sony A1 oled but oled just isn't there yet in terms of input latency. Playing twitch shooters and platformers that rely heavy on timing aren't well played on oled as of yet. So I stick to my Sony XBR-900e. Low input lag and the best non-oled picture on the market 🙂

That was true at launch but through updates it is now .22 input lag on hdr game mode which won the rtings gamingvtv of 2016. The b7 has one this years. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/by-usage/hdr-gaming
I think your info is a bit out of date.

Is it just me or is Destiny 2 the only game here that requires Pro for HDR? I haven’t played in a few weeks, but the last time I did my tv didn’t switch to HDR mode.

From all the hdr games I’ve played nex machina for me is the most impressive. I’ll concede I haven’t played half on the list but if you thumbs are up to it it’s a beautiful game to play in short bursts or between bigger titles

@get2sammyb isn't there an article about how The Witcher 3 doesn't have HDR Yet?

I will say that it's difficult to go back to games without HDR, it adds much more to the game than just an increase in resolution with Horizon Zero Dawn being a particular highlight on PS4. I have to say that Rise of The Tomb Raider has by far the best HDR implementation I've seen so far but I think it's only on the X for some reason, whilst Origins has a more muted use, it has easily the best calibration for it and really teaches you how setting to your Tv's peak brightness may not be for the best

Anyone looking to buy a 4K HDR TV Rtings.com is a great place to start very professional reviews!

I used a good 27" gaming monitor But took the jump to 4K HDR in Dec 2017 after this original post of this article. Wow am I happy, and I went with the best budget TV on Rtings.com. TCL the price is what I needed to make me jump fast. $319 on Amazon,

I have a table for a desk and use it for both my PS4 and PC. I sit about 2 & 1/2 ft away from the TV and love it. The Wife wants to replace the 55" Plasma now. I think we will around Dec. 2018 in the price range of $1500.

Thanks for the list Sammy lets home more or All future games will support HDR.

I'd love to see a PS4 Pro on a HDR TV in person (particularly an OLED one). See what all the fuss is about

@GravyThief It is a great experience coming from a samsung js9000 led to a sony a1e oled. The black levels and colors are eyepopping. The first game I played was HZD having already completed it on the samsung. I was floored by the presentation on the oled.

You're still forgetting "Agents of Mayhem" 🙂

hdtvtest is a fantastic resource for tv reviews. Vincent teoh must be a gamer because he often uses horizon zero dawn in his reviews and specifically mentions the input lag. the LG b7 should be a veritable oled bargain when the b8 is released in a couple of months. thee new lg's have black frame insertion, so this will improve motion clarity and might even help with any image retention. i myself am looking at the lg c8 in may as i want a new tv for watching netflix and black level is my main priority.

Just bought Sony 55XE9305 (or X930E if you want) and for the first time in my life I saw HDR (okay I don’t count real world - that’s hdr every day ). People, don’t bother with pseudo hdr. Look for good contrast and brightness when you buy your tv! It is worth it! GT Sport, horizon, hdr movies...all is fantastic! Wow!

I read all reviews on flatpanelshd, rtings, techradar, avforums, avmania (Czech one), etc..... it was lg b7 or Sony 9305. I was afraid of image burning and also tv is turned on during day. So I needed excellent brightness. If you don’t want another mortgage on your house , these two TVs are excellent high end choice!

@get2sammyb

Far Cry 5 needs adding to the list.

Thanks for this wonderful, comprehensive list!! This is just what i've been looking for. and much thanks to the contributors too!

I think the list needs updating.

@get2sammyb Could you please update this list. I'm having a hard time figuring out which upcoming PS4 games will support HDR.

@get2sammyb You can add Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Battlefield V, Call of Duty Black Ops 4, Anthem, AC Odyssey, Devil May Cry 5, Fallout 76, Just Cause 4, Kingdom Hearts III, Madden 19, FIFA 19, Metro Exodus, Resident Evil 2 remake, Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, The Division 2, The Walking Dead Final Season, and Hitman 2. Those games will support HDR when they release, as well.

Does AC: Odyssey have HDR?

@get2sammyb You forgot to tell Rockstar their game is meant to have HDR in it 😉

@get2sammyb Thanks for the update. Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Kingdom Hearts III, Fallout 76, Assassin's Creed III Remastered, Darksiders, Remothered, The Occupation, and We Happy Few are some that you missed.

@Rick_Deckard RDR2 HDR is totally lacking. My untrained eye says it's absolutely the same as SDR. I had to double check if it was enabled because it sucked big time. A real shame... there's also an article en DigitalFoundry about it.

Red Dead Redemption 2 does not have HDR unfortunately

@get2sammyb Cool that you are putting a list together. The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane trilogy was updated with HDR support. Will let you know if I think of any others.

@Rick_Deckard I hope it gets patched , but it does not sounds like something that went under the radar for Rockstar. Anyway, there area couple of gameplay things that I would like to get patched before ; )

@get2sammyb Where's the source for Spyro's HDR support? HDR support is NOT listed for Xbox One X.

I wish there was some update on Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Xbox has had HDR for like a year now, and we were supposed to get the finished, best version of the game when exclusivity ended.

Yeah, right...

@manu0 Agreed. I can't find any solid confirmation there is HDR support for Spyro. Thier website says nothing.

Just saw a GamingBolt article from Oct 10 saying Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered will support HDR. Not sure what the rules of posting URL's is but the article title is "Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered Improvements Detailed- 4K, HDR, Revamped Mechanics, and More".... I'm not sure about the other Assassin's Creed remasters. Last I checked, Ezio Collection did not support HDR.

@get2sammyb Re: ALL PS4 HDR compatible games

Does GTAV really not have HDR support? Guess that will be the big selling point when GTAV releases on PSV at launch then. That and 60fps. According to the "Boost Mode" article GTAV can't even hit 60fps.

Grand Theft Auto V 25-30fps Up to 30fps Sticks close to 30fps cap

And there's no 4k support at all, not even cheekerboard?

Guess thats why it's code-named PSV, GTAV 4k at launch.

Spyro dosent support it as far as i can tell.

@Glassneedles When you walk through the orange forest you almost need sunglasses! I think this game demonstrates the range of contrast best!.. great game anyway you play it.

@gingerfrog It's a game changer in my opinion. You will not mind replaying this game, easy Platinum takes atleast 2 play throughs to my knowledge.

RDR2 should not be on the list. It does not have HDR.

@get2sammyb I recommend as a relatively inexpensive set a 55" Samsung NU8000. Wonderful bright display with insanely low input latency. I did plug my Pro into a friend's LG OLED which was an experience hard to explain. I can't wait for this tech to become more cost competitive.

@starhops I couldn't agree more...definitely check a tv you are thinking about purchasing on this site. You want low latency input and high as heck bright levels. They do a fantastic job of rating game quality with and without HDR enabled.

@GravyThief, you will not be able to forget. A HDR enabled TV, in my opinion, makes non HDR games look better too with correct adjustments. The fact that the screen can display at a brighter level allows you the ability to crank color and contrast. Samsung 55 NU8000 if you live on a budget like I.

Some other games to add to the list: Assassin's Creed III Remastered, Crash Team Racing, Far Cry New Dawn, Jump Force, Metro Exodus, Mortal Kombat 11, Remothered:Tormented Fathers, The Occupation, the Walking Dead Final Season, and Dirt Rally 2.0 @get2sammyb

Man of Medan was confirmed to support HDR on Supermassive's Facebook!

I was disappointed when i got it to see that KH3 didn't support HDR. Seems odd for such a big release. It's a beautiful game so it's a shame I can't see it enhanced by HDR.

And I'm equally surprised that Ni no Kuni II DOES support HDR.

@get2sammyb
Edit: Just noticed KH3 is in your list. It doesn't support HDR. My TV (Sony Bravia) switches to HDR mode when playing HDR games but doesn't for KH3. Also you get a warning if you play a HDR game with the HDMI cable plugged into a non-HDR port, but no such warning appears for KH3. You can also Google it and find people talking about the lack of HDR.

@get2sammyb I can't check at the moment as I have uninstalled it, but I think F1 2018 supports HDR.

@get2sammyb
Assassins Creed Origins has had HDR since release. Clearly visible when capturing gameplay. Ubisoft are masters of tone mapping, so it can be hard to tell. But the oversatureated reds in gameplay capture is a clear indication in most cases. This is clearly visible in most games with solid HDR implementation. Origins and Horizon are good examples of this. Also the PS4 will state that colours might look wrong whenever you save a gameplay video

@BAMozzy Hi I recently bought a 4k tv and only just realised that I don't need a ps pro to get HDR. Do I need to upgrade my hdmi cables or are standard hdmi cables ok for HDR ? My ps4 goes through a amp and then to the tv. Thanks in advance.

@Dobbos Whilst its true that you don't need a PS4 Pro to get HDR, you do 'need' one to get the best resolution and performance of games - and probably for Netflix/Amazon HDR Apps too.

You may not need to upgrade your HDMI cable. What people probably don't understand is that HDMI cables are like 'pipes' to let the data flow from one device to another. This is 'bandwidth' and there are literally 2 main types (possibly 3 now if those for HDMI 2.1 are out) - standard with ~11Gbps and High Speed with ~18Gbps. To go back to the 'pipes' analogy, the High speed is like a wider (bigger diameter) pipe that allows more data to flow. 11Gbps is 'wide' enough to allow 4k data to flow through at 24/30fps - depending on bit depth, full/limited RGB etc. It may well have enough 'bandwidth' to allow HDR data through at 1080p and certain bit depths and RGB status.

What's more likely to be an issue is your Amp. It too would need to be compatible to pass HDR through and allow your PS4 and TV to 'communicate' with each other. Every display should have an EDID (Extended display identification data) which tells the devices its connected to, what type of display it is ad what its capable of receiving - whether its HD or UHD, whether its HDR ready and what formats of HDR it can receive etc. If that doesn't get through to your PS4 for example, because your Amp or HDMI cable isn't capable of that, then your PS4 won't send HDR anyway - its pointless if it thinks your TV can't cope with that because you may end up with NO picture at all...

Going back to the pipes analogy, if you have a 'wide' pipe going from your PS4 to Amp and a Wide pipe going from your Amp to your TV, if the Amp is 'narrow' then the amount of data that can get through is limited by the Amp - the most that can get through will be still 11Gbps because that's how much the Amp will allow. Unlike Water, the Data doesn't build up behind and push more water through faster - its more of a limiter in this case.

Without knowing 'exactly' what Amp and its specs, what HDMI cables you have, what TV you have too because some TV's need their HDMI port(s) to be manually switch on to receive 4k HDR through them and some TV's only have 2 ports that actually will be full bandwidth HDR ports.

If you are having trouble getting your PS4 to send HDR to your TV, I would first of all check whether the HDMI cables are BOTH capable by plugging your Pro directly into the TV (bypassing the Amp). Obviously pick the port (if there is only 1/2 and you have checked to see that they are turned on for HDR) and check BOTH cables. If both are working - both allow you to turn HDR on in the PS4's settings - meaning that the TV has told the console it is a HDR TV, then the issue is with the Amp. If only 1 cable works, then you need to try other cables or buy a new one. Once you have two cables working, try going through the Amp again to check if that works. If not, you either need to upgrade your Amp or decide whether you want HDR or not.

I don't know what set-up you have but if its only 5.1, you aren't losing a 'lot' by connecting the PS4 directly to the TV and using the ARC port to pass the Audio through to your Amp. If its 7.1 or 5.1.4 for example, then its a different matter but if its 5.1, you may be better off passing the Audio through the TV instead of Passing the Pic through the Amp.

Hope that helps...

@BAMozzy Thanks for the detailed reply you are the tech star here. You have given me a lot of things to try out. My tv is a Samsung 82 inch . My amp is a pioneer SC-LX59.

@Dobbos Samsung generally do require the HDMI 'port' to be 'enabled' for HDMI - Its generally referred to as HDMI UHD Colour and you have all HDMI ports listed so you need to make sure that the Port you have your PS4, Amp and any other 4k UHD HDR devices connected to switch ON. I am not exactly sure which model you have and/or where that maybe in the Menus - for me and my Samsung, that was under the 'Expert' Picture Settings.

I am not experienced enough with that particular Amp but I do believe that it should pass through 4k through but I don't know about HDR. It really depends on the HDMI ports - whether they are 2.0, 2.0a or 2.0b which could make a difference. I know its capable of Dolby Atmos but if you are only running a 5.1 configuration, you may well be better off passing the audio through the TV than passing the Pic through the Amp.

First off, check your TV's settings to see if you have turned on the HDMI UHD settings. If you have, then try connecting the PS4 directly to the TV (in an enabled port) and see if that works - don't forget you need to try at least 2 cables - the one from PS4 to Amp and Amp to TV. If both of these work, but still won't work with the Amp in between, the issue is the Amp itself.

I am not experienced enough with that Amp to know which (if any) of the multiple ports are Full bandwidth 2.0 ports as some amps have a few '1.4' inputs too so you may need to check you are connecting your PS4 to the 'right' input HDMI port on your Amp - Not ALL HDMI ports are created equally.

It may well be a bit of trial and error - trying different cables, different ports and checking that every possible setting should be allowing HDR. If you only find 1 cable to work, you can obviously buy another to test your Amp, or just settle on passing the audio through the TV instead.

Hope that helps

Yes yes thats very helpful. The tv is a UE82NU8002. I switched on HDR in Gran Turismo and everybody's gold and it seems to be working. I will try adjusting the settings you mentioned over the next few days. I want to keep the sound going through the amp as I have a 7.1 set up and upgrading to Atmos real soon.

Gravel also has HDR support

Your list is faulty, Kingdom Hearts 3 does NOT support HDR, I'm right here in 2020 with the newest updates and patches and even though most of my games run in HDR, KH3 is NOT one of them, after much research I found they never brought it, I don't know who is smoking what at PUSH, but please update the false information that lead me to wasting a bunch of phone data on updating my game for nothing

@Mythoti There's quite a few false ones on here. Firewatch is another - no HDR for that one. Tested on BenQ EW3270U.

@get2sammyb Marvel's Avengers

@get2sammyb "The HDR is the true game changer IMO, though."

Remember when you wrote that, 3 1/2 years ago now? Well it was one of those sentences that stuck w/ me, and my first 4k HDR tv is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I couldn't afford any of those high end OLED tv's the "best TVs for PS5" article mentioned, but TCL for the price and size seemed the best fit for me. I'm a "size matters" kinda guy, I only really bought the TV for Godzilla vs Kong this month b/c I'm still afraid to go to a movie theater.

I'm a little concerned as 1,000 nits is considered "true HDR" and mine only goes to 435 nits but according to all the reviews that I read, well the tv seemed like the one.

Actually reading over that list my tv is a bit better than some of those lower ones according to reviews I read. I only have a 60hz display, so no 120, and HDMI 2.0, so no VRR either. Dont' know if those numbers man anything to you, didn't see you anywhere near that article and it has 176 comments.
