Cant turn on HDR on win 10

[TheRonen]

hi

i have a weird problem, my new pc is connected to a 4k 49” Samsung q60R tv via an HDMI cable, i have i5 9400f cpu and RTX 2060super gpu, i get 4K but i cant turn on HDR on windows 10 setting,  the screen does support HDR (using HDR with ps4)

 

What can be the problem ?
 

thanks

4K HDR requires a display port cable iirc.

Will DP to hdmi cable or adapter work ?

That won't work as you will degradate the signal from DP to HDMI at a point which means that the whole connection can never carry the full bandwith / signal a fully DP connection is able to.

So what can i do if i want full HDR experience and i don’t  have DP connection on my TV ?

I'm afraid that you're out of luck. Double checked it, standard HDMI won't do the job. If its not either HDMI 2.0 or DP then the port simple won't able to handle it. Also see requirements below.

1. The HDR display or TV must support HDR10, and DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 or higher. We recommend displays that are DisplayHDR certified.
   

2. The Windows 10 PC needs to have a graphics card that supports PlayReady 3.0 hardware digital rights management (for protected HDR content). This could be any of the following graphics cards: NVIDIA GeForce 1000 series or higher, AMD Radeon RX 400 series or higher, or Intel UHD Graphics 600 series or higher.
   

3. The Windows 10 PC must have the required codecs installed for 10-bit video decoding (for example, HEVC or VP9 codecs).

Yes, if the TV has it and the computer has it too it should work i think.
