28 How to adjust your monitor
1. Make sure a FHD/4K HDR player is ready. Players with the following names and resolutions
are supported. Note that the 4K content on a FHD monitor get resized and is displayed at
1920 x 1080.
2. Make sure HDR content is available. Content may come from a FHD/4K player.
3. Make sure the player and the monitor have been connected via an appropriate cable:
• the provided HDMI / DP / DP to mini DP cable / USB-C™ cable (if available)
• an HDMI cable that is HDMI High Speed or HDMI Premium certified (for models with HDMI
inputs)
• a DP / DP to mini DP cable that is DisplayPort compliance certified (for models with DP inputs)
• a certified USB-C™ cable (for models with USB-C™ inputs)
Enabling HDR function
If the instructions in Working with HDR technology on page 27 are followed and the input
content is HDR-compatible, the OSD message HDR: On is displayed on the screen. This
means your content player and content are HDR-compatible and the HDR function is properly
enabled. The monitor is following the ST2084 standard to process the HDR content.
Press the HDRi hot key to bring up the HDR settings and select from the list. Alternatively, go
to Color > HDR Mode for selection.
Enabling HDR-emulated mode
If the connection is complete and no OSD message is displayed, this means the content player
and/or the content are not HDR-compatible. The monitor stays to the color mode recently
chosen for non-HDR content. You can manually enable HDR-emulated mode by selecting
Cinema HDRi or HDR from HDR Mode.
