Working with HDR technology
To enable HDR function, you need to have a compatible player and content.

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 4K UHD (Blue-Ray) or new
HDR games on Xbox One S and PS4 Pro.

• the provided HDMI / DP / DP to mini DP cable / USB-C™ cable / Thunderbolt™ 3 cable (if
available)
• an HDMI cable that is HDMI High Speed or HDMI Premium certified
• a DP / DP to mini DP cable that is DisplayPort compliance certified
• a certified USB-C™ cable
Enabling HDR function
If the instructions in Working with HDR technology on page 45 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.
If the connection is complete and no OSD message is displayed, follow the instructions to
enable HDR-emulated mode.
1. Press the 5-way controller to bring up the hotkey menu, and select
(Menu) to access
the main menu.
2. Go to Color and Color Mode.
3. Select HDR. An OSD message HDR: Emulated is displayed. This means the input
content is not HDR-compatible and the monitor is in HDR-emulated mode.
• Your monitor supports HDR10 technology.
• The information regarding HDR-compatible devices and content in this document is most up-to-date at the
