Yeah the screen turns off temporarily every minute of so, is it a HDMI thing? I thought it was but I've checked like 4 different cables and the issue remains.
Yeah it's an HDMI handshake issue. I assume you've got a Sony TV? They're notoriously bad with this stuff. Just stick with the YUV420 and forget about the RGB option as it's not worth the hassle, believe me.
There's also a thread about this.
Maybe you are putting a game into an HDR effect mode , rather than the game displaying actual hdr content?
Yup, it's roughly unplayable as you need to see platforms and enemies :P
Exodus is on a list of best implementation by Digital Foundry lol
I thought this was how the PS4's implementation worked (per game) as opposed to Xbox/Windows' global setting. At least that's what I remember with the HDR supported games I played having HDR being an ingame option on PS4
Actually it does have a pretty good HDR implementation, it's just that the settings are busted. I'm lazy so here's the first informative guide I found. Follow the steps and say goodbye to crushed blacks.
All thanks go to EvilBoris of course!
Evilboris is great but when I listen him and other enthusiasts like him, almost every picture is wrong somehow. I enjoyed a lot od HDR titles that were "compromised".
Sometimes, it's better to know less.
Is there a guide how to calibrate hdr for ea x h individual game? Like I know nothing about calibration but I plan to get a lg CX this winter. Also the current 4k I have is a samsung js7000 which has terrible hdr I guess so I can never tell what's good.
Make sure you're set to "game" or "graphics" mode when HDR is turned on. That TV shouldn't have any extra input lag with HDR enabled. There's also a bug that increases input lag until you turn game mode off and on again.

Samsung 43MU7000 actually. Think I'll just leave it at YUV420.
of course, he himself for example in the FF7 video that people may like it's implementation because it has a very punchy HDR. It's like TV calibration, at the end everyone has their own preferences.
God of War looks incredible in HDR, it brings out all these extra details and everything pops. I was blown away.
It can actually look great, it's just ridiculous the steps you have to go through to get it there because the settings are busted.
Excuse my stupidity, but I never found out how to turn on hdr on game mode. I only ever saw the hdr option by itself
Output-wise it's a bit different. Regular is 1080p RGB while Pro is 4k YUV. Not sure how much of a difference that makes but from my experience, that means I had to properly set my PS4 and TV's black level when I still had a regular PS4 (somehow I got crushed blacks if I was using limited-limited) while it's a non-issue with the Pro since my TV detects the YUV/YCbCr output and disables the black level option for me.
Apparently that's an exceptional example of good HDR.
I wasn't a fan same with shadow of the tomb raider which is also meant to be excellent but just looked washed out and flat
