I can confirm that HDR is working on 4k mkv files that have the HDR metadata enbedded. I am using a GTX1060 connected to a 4k tv with HDR. You have to male sure the following.



Your desktop is running at 4k resolution (nvidia control panel)

-10bit depth

4:2:2 chroma

-4k compatible hdmi cable

-a file that is 2160p with hdr



If you are trying to play physical media, you need a Pioneer uhd player, kaby lake proceessor and a ton of other worthless requirements that make it undesirable.



I have tested out native 4k movies and HDR works perfect. The 100% enhance mode on the video files 1080p or less works HDR as well. For some reason, 4k files that do not have HDR do not trigger the video enhancement option.

Dont judge anything by those files. I downloaded the world in 4k and it judders on the Windows10 TV and Media app (but plays hdr correctly), is black on the PowerDVD17...plays well natively on a USB drive thru the TV.



Those are high bitrate files that are not.good for playing on a pc at this point. Maybe the HiMedia 4k player will play it well, but not my PC. Power DVD 17 is great for playing x264 4k mkvs, 1080p HDR, etc. I guess there isnt a media player fully optimized on the PC to play these files.

powerdvd 17 is the problem because it's support only integrated gpu.....



so they will need to release a new build

Powerdvd 17 plays my 4k hdr just fine on my movie files, so its not an igpu issue...my rv is connected directly thru the 1060...

Sorry, however you will have to find your own movie files to test. As a measure, if you have any 1080p movies on your computer, the HDR slider works i the same manner as a 4k movie file.

True video enhancements on PC mode allow you to add HDR on 720 and 1080p files..and it works really well. On tv mode it is under the 100% option withion truetheatre video. I would suggest using that to determine if its your setup, not the programs fault.

you did have the same problems like i did



other files or not true hdr files



to test that we need 60fps/60hz 10 bit hdr files those are real



other files that you find on trackers or other sites are encoded to hdr

yes i know that but powerdvd cannot play those files with hdr if you don'y have igpu



so it's a limitation

Micea...I dont know why you insist on saying it doesnt when I have stated several damn times that it works....no im not talking about those damn demo videos from that site....im talking ripped UHDs in .mkv format.



However you feel to justify and get your purchase refunded go ahead and do it, just dont say it can and cannot do without troubleshooting.
