Right so I have a TV which is HDR capable (TV Specs : 57.5" Samsung UN58MU6100 - Specifications ) hooked up to my PC via an HDMI which I believe should be at least 2.0 ( link to the cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076VSJWDZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) hooked up directly to my GPU ( Titan Xp I have verified I have the latest drivers)

I lowered my refresh rate to 30 in order to get 10 bit available in the Nvidia control panel (12bit is also available) and it is set to YCC422. additionaly I have verified in my TV's settings that I have the HDR+ mode enabled, I have my gamma set to st.2084 and my color gamut is set to bt.2020. Although in my tv it does not specify if it is bt.2020RGB or bt.2020YCC one can reasonably deduce that it is bt.2020YCC as YCC422 is the only option i can set my tv to in Nvidia control panel. Now what I believe might be the issue is in dxdiag under monitor capabilities it says " HDR Not Supported (Eotf2084Supported ) " As per the HDR and WCG color settings in Windows 10 article ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4040263/windows-10-hdr-advanced-color-settings) it specifies that in order for HDR to be enabled it must display 1. " Eotf2084Supported. " which it is doing and 2. have " BT2020RGB " or " BT2020YCC " displayed which it does not despite my TV clearly supporting BT2020YCC color gamut. So essentially my question is how do I get windows to accept that my TV does in fact support those color gamuts so that I may use HDR? Maybe I am perhaps missing something I am not aware of. I have the HVEC encoder if that is pertinent.


I can include my dxdiag upon request.
