Screen goes dim when gaming

When selecting to play a 4kgame on my KD-49XD8305. The screen noticeably dims. All the colours are flat.

Dont seems to get the problem when viewing HDR movies

Have try recalibration through TV and games UI.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Are we talking about HDR being fine on the same input?

 

Each input on this TV can be set up individually, so switch to the input for gaming, and then choose the same picture settings that you have on your input for HDR movies.

 

I have personally never rated the gaming settings, but it is true that these strip out as much post-processing as possible to minimise the input lag.

 

But the trick is to select from the settings that enhance the picture without delaying it, such as Vivid, and avoid those that can delay it, such as motion processing.

Hi jesus_hairdo, change the format of your HDMI input to enhanced as follows:
