How to adjust your monitor
1. Make sure a 4K HDR player is ready. Players with the following names and resolutions are
supported.
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.
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 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. Depending on the input signal, the monitor detects whether it is HDR10 or HLG
content and process the content properly.
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 picture mode recently
chosen for non-HDR content.
