HDR Dark

My X1 box displays HDR washed out and dark. Apps through the box also. Apps through Roku and Xbox display HDR great. I've seen this problem discussed on various threads. Obviously there is a problem on Comcast's end. Setting my display to 2160 30 does not correct the problem.

It is a TCL 65" 625. Thanks for any help. I have tried changing gamma strings, color, brightness and other settings.

@billmich88888 This. It's so frustrating. I have been on the phone with Comcast for a total of about 2 hours over 3 calls, and most of them don't even know how their own X1 system works. This thread (and others) gave me some hope, but then the techs take the discussion offline and never return with any solutions for the rest of us.

@v0rtex Agree not sure why they don't at least come back with the outcome of the issue taken off the forum.

Sometimes an issue such as this can be corrected by using an HDMI cable rated for 4K. Some cables were made before 4k was popular, and while HDMI is a digital signal and should just 'work", some older cables do not have the bandwidth to pass the full 4k HDMI HDR signal. You do not need to buy an expensive cable...just make sure your cable is rated for 4k HDR. Monoprice and Amazon Basics sell them for very reasonable prices.
