Halo Infinite Dolby Vision on Xbox Series X is BROKEN! Play in HDR with These Best Settings.

Halo infinite is indeed Microsoft's in house developed first NATIVELY programmed Dolby Vision and 4K HDR 120Hz VRR videogame but it is a serious MESS of a videogame product.

You buy the rather useless physical release version only to discover that the physical BD-ROM installs around 34GB of data (note that BD-ROM should be able to store 50GB of data while a UHD BD-ROM is capable of 100GB of data thus if a game is larger than 50GB it makes sense for the videogame publisher to use TWO BD-ROM discs, assuming that the game was actually fully finished and debugged like Cyberpunk/sarcasm)

Then you try to "Start" Halo Infinite (after installing the physical disc version off-line) only to be told by the actual game that you need to connect to Microsoft's servers on the internet to download the "rest of the game" then you discover that you will have to wait around twelve hours (as of December 2023 btw) just to DOWNLOAD the entire 79.1GB of data which OVER-WRITES the useless 34GB of data from the physical release BD-ROM disc just you can finally run the game, play the single player campaign story and also the coop mode which wasn't even available when this video was made.

Also note that Halo Infinite is able to run on base Xbox One, Xbox One X and the current gen Xbox Series S/X at different settings but there is just no excuse for having to hold the gamer hostage to connect to the internet and suffer half a day installing the game.

So I'm sure Dolby Vision was already fixed and Microsoft has tuned their 4K HDR 120Hz VRR mode to work properly on XbsX considering that the Xbox One X already hits 60fps at 1080p HDR and 4K HDR at 30fps but again there's no excuse for Microsoft not to make a new Halo Infinite Complete Edition using two BD-ROM discs instead of treating the Xbox owner like a total tool.

Ciao, ho visto i tuoi video.
Ho un lg c9pla ma quando utilizzo xbox series x mi appare un 🔺️ giallo che dice: dolby vision è attivo ma potrebbe avere problemi si latenza. Come faccio ad avere la spunta verde? Aiutami please

You’re a legend

so in 2023 is this fixed or should I not use Dolby Vision on Series S with LG C2 ?

What happens if I have both activated at the same time on my series x ?

That was a smooth transitioning from the horizon forbidden west video got me hooked

I've recently bought the 'LG OLED 55 C2' and noticed that the Dolby Vision in Halo Infinite was pretty dim like this myself (So I've turned Dolby Vision Off) BUT I was also concerned with a Strange Purple / Green Box that appears on the loading screen on boot-up to the main title screen, it appears in the Top-Right Corner of the screen as it shows the pop-up for HDR then disappears once the main title shows.

Also, the Contrast Grading around the writing etc. On initial boot of the game, is all blocky and looks pretty nasty (it lasts and runs at the same time as the strange box I just mentioned) and I don't remember it doing that or looking like this on my previous TV either.....I'm guessing it's linked to whatever's going-on with the Strange Box !?!?

I've tried changing LOADS of settings to try and get rid of it as The Strange Box was never there on my previous TV and I'm worried that something's conflicting within the settings of the C2 and my Series-X which might be doing some harm !?!?

Have you got any ideas what's happening and why it's showing-up on my new Oled TV but wasn't on my previous HDTV ??

Have you any ideas how to fix it at-all ??

Do you think it's doing any harm to either my C2 or my Series-X ??


Many Thanks in Advance for Any Help / Info,

Any Help / Info will be Greatly Appreciated !!

HDR10 is far superior than overrated Dolby Vision

Wow such a great video. Just got a Hisense ULED with HDR and Dolby. I was using a old 1080 LG and I want to know what HDR and Dolby do. You got yourself a new subscriber!

I am a robot I am the best at the Halo infinite I am a good player I kill the other players I do things because I'm not a bad player. I also most likely cheat at video games

I have sharpening to 0 on my qn90a 65" and the sharpening left standard setting in the halo infinite menu, is this correct? Or should sharpening be 0 aswell in the halo infinite settings? 🤔

Can anyone tell me what the base luminance qnd white point of the LG c1 is. Hdr keeps asking me

I like to use the flashlight..... I mean of course the torch light. hahahha. I Vincent joking humor is level 99999

For anyone here that doesn't know.. if you go into the HDR Calibration app on the Xbox you can press LT, RT, LB and RB at the same time to bring up your TVs MaximumTML and MaximumFFTML whilst you adjust the aettings. had no clue before today

How does anyone game with Dolby Vision, the input lag is horrendous.

So even If a game supports it turn it off? Even dolby vision, the one that just says dolby vision?

Has this been fixed with the latest update?

Dolby vision for 120fps is broken and gives input lag like crazy so much so that aiming smoothly is impossible in doom eternal at max sensitivity 0% Look smoothing while hdr10 its super smooth

Instantly started with a flex lmao

Ure afraid of competition 😂

Do one for Godfall, they just released it for XBSX with Dolby Vision, 120hz VRR!

Anyone else sick of these lowlife devs being cheap scum and putting broken HDR in their games so they can be misleading???

I notice a better motion with dolby vision playing forza horizon 5 in quality mode!

I absolutely don’t like the Blu-ray player on the Xbox series x, because you have to download the app from the Xbox store, they should’ve integrated it with the Xbox like the PS5 . I find myself every now and then black screens and only audio can be heard. Does anyone have a solution for this if so please help

Why does DV look worse than HDR if DV is supposed to be better on paper??

Has this been fixed since the midseason update in feb?

Thank you for confirming what my eyes were telling me. I played a match on this exact map right after switching to Dolby, and noticed right away that the shadows had almost no contrast. It looks so wrong.

So i went from this video HERE to this video HERE.. i need to stop this chain of events.

I'm using xbox series x with lg48c1 and I'm getting camera stuttering on Halo infinite whether I select 60hz/120hz vrr on or off. Other games run super smoothly. Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks.

I saw the update for Halo Infinite today said they made improvements to Dolby Vision. Did the patch truly fix this?

Yes something is wrong with my halo game. the trees are really dark and the whole landscape is blurry. I have a lg cx. does anyone know how to fix this. I also Do not have Dolby vision on

Keep doing what you're doing, Vincent. Amazing work!

DV for most, if not all Xbox Series X games is still broken, correct? When I enable the entire picture no matter the game is washed out on my C9

Is this issue still ongoing?

This may be related to your television. Dolby Vision was messed up before on my VIZIO M7 but now works correctly. Make sure Game HDR is off on your TV settings

Back when I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-schmancy Dolby Vision TV's. We had CRT's! Two CRT's, and a LCD widescreen for the whole platoon... and we had to share that widescreen!

Interesting ohhh konisan

The issue with HDR in gaming is that MOST GAMES, even when they actually support HDR, aren't actually HDR. They are STILL using SDR color pallets. Meaning the HDR becomes absolutely useless in most titles claiming to be HDR. Only a handful of games that support HDR actually use colors you can't get in SDR. IN FACT, because they don't use the full color support from HDR, you end up getting muted looking colors. So in essence, the Dolby Vision is actually how the game is meant to look. While HDR10 is more like how Samsung TV's "increase vibrancy" which even their cell phones do. One of the reasons that I upgraded to a Sony Xperia 1 Mark 2 instead of other known popular brands. The Sony phone has a "creator mode" which gives you color accuracy instead of high vibrancy. So I can have accurate color representation meaning if a color is muted or dull, then it looks dull. Where as on a Samsung phone, those dull colors would actually be more vibrant and "pop" more. A lot of PC users actually lose their mind when they switch from an SDR monitor to HDR and enabling HDR in windows. Windows is still in SDR, so you get muted colors which is "how they should look" and people hate it. People today are so used to TV's and Phones like Samsung products which give fake vibrancy to colors that shouldn't. And thus they hate the HDR and start making up excuses like "you need 1000 nits or more" and all kinds of other bullshit. I also want to point out that brightness does not effect color. I can literally tune my monitor to 80 nits going through all the color data, saving the profile for windows. Then changing the monitor to 600 nits (yes 600 full screen nits, actually its 603 at 100% but still) and then run the color checker, and the colors will be spot on. I have done this test myself on multiple displays. which proves HDR and color accuracy has nothing to do with brightness. Now changing contrast will effect color capability and throw the colors way off. HDR is never about brightness but color and contrast.

xbox will fix this hopefully. Do most games look better hdr10 or too soon to say because not enough dv games out yet?

So my question is , is there less latency with DV on for gaming vs HDR HGIG? Not sure if I'm bugging out but for some reason the game feels smoother with DV for gaming on.

Yea Dolby is so dark and gross 🤢 Im so sad wanted it to work

I don't know if it's the Dolby vision or HDR but on my series s while playing halo infinite there’s a distinct frame skipping and can be easily seen while panning left or right. Had to turn off both Dolby and hdr for it to go away. Maybe it’s just my tv I dunno.

So for films I always choose the HDR setting and not the Dolby Vision setting, but films are e.g. Only available in HDR 10 on Amazon, most of them look much worse ( and much darker) than films that are only available in Dolby Vision on Netflix.

Thank you for the great info as always, Vincent. Is there any need to run the XSX through HDMI 2.1 if I don't use 4k120Hz modes? Is HDMI 2.1 on next-gen consoles improving e.g., color banding or near-black handling?

looks amazing with hdr on my pc to my c1 oled! puts my monitors to shame, sucks windows hdr is broken as fuck

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for having gaming content and optimization for my OLED/XSX

How can i change from dolby vision to HDR at xbox series x games with LG oled c1?

Dolby Vision for gaming is a gimmick.. I'm glad Playstation wasn't sucked in..

Looking at the graphs, the most of the HDR slider seems to just increase brightness keeping the same proportions? That's a brightness slider to me.

Maybe dolby vision gaming just sucks
