Question: How can I troubleshoot HDR issues with Rockstar Games titles?

Answer: You can troubleshoot your HDR by reviewing your TV or platform setup and settings.

Hardware and setup

Whether you are on a TV or computer monitor, ensure the following:

Note: Refer to the site for your display’s manufacturer for specific settings, details, and terminology.

Ensure the cable connecting your devices supports the HDMI 2.1 specification
Ensure your display supports HDR and that you have it enabled on the display
- Look for terms such as HDR, Ultra Deep Color, HDMI UHD Color, and Smart HDR
After enabling HDR, adjust settings such as Brightness, Contrast, Local Dimming, Sharpness, etc., as needed
- Note: Some of these settings may be grayed out while HDR is active
Enable the Game Mode preset, if available
Disable any of the display's picture enhancement features, including AI enhancement, Smart, Dynamic, or Adaptive picture settings
Disable Dynamic Tone Mapping (DTM) if the option is enabled
- If your display supports it, enable HGIG (HDR Gaming Interest Group) features
