So everything was going great with my new Omen X Emperium. Outside of a trail-like shadow on avatars when I scroll in chats on Discord there wasn't any issues .. until I started watching Netflix. So long as scenes are lit the picture is fine. The issue is when darkness comes into play. It almost looks like there's a another image behind the main image being displayed, amorphous blobs that completely distort the lines on objects such as clothing or items in general. It gets really bad. Is there a setting I'm missing or something? Right now I have my resolution set at 3840x2160 running at 120hz. Either it's my imagination or it was a lot worse at 60hz. I just within the last ten minutes changed it to 120hz.

 

Also. How in the nine hells do I turn HDR on?!

The display cable that came with the monitor. 

It's display port? And also make sure you've updated you graphics driver.

Yes and it is updated. I never ignore GeForce Experience's notification of new drivers. Had way too many problems as a youth doing that, had to learn the hard way.

Try a different display port on the GPU and see if it helps. And also I'd just go through your monitor settings and see if maybe you have to manually change the refresh rate on the monitor as well as the GPU. It should be automatic but you never know with some of these monitors.
