I just recently replaced my Q60C (broke during a move) with a brand new Q60D, and I'm having some weird HDR issues with HDMI connected devices. For the first week or so, everything was working great, and my Apple TV and PS5 auto-detected HDR and everything was working smoothly. Then randomly one day, both devices look super washed out when HDR is enabled, but looks perfectly normal in SDR. I didn't change any settings, and I'm just confused as to what happened. I finally got fed up with it, and after a TV factory reset, everything was working normally again in HDR. Then, out of the blue, the same issue popped up a few days later and was yet again fixed with a factory reset. I'm on factory reset number 3 and I'm just fed up with it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what would be causing this issue? Thanks in advance!
It could possibly be the hdmi wire. I recommend getting a new 1 that runs 4k not sure if your TV supports 4k I have 1 myself and it works great with the apple TV box
Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I don’t think the HDMI cable is the culprit, I’ve tried multiple cables (and ports on the TV) that are rated for HDMI 2.1 4K 120hz.
Update, still having this issue, hopefully someone can help point in the right direction. I have discovered that unplugging and plugging back in the tv solves the issue, but it comes back after some time, and the amount of time until it happens again. Maybe a Samsung tech can provide some insight? Do I need someone to come look at the tv? Thanks in advance.
Hi there, Since this is occurring with multiple devices, and with different HDMI cables, we would recommend service as the next step. Additionally, with this sometimes being and intermittent issue, I suggest taking photos or a video recording of the symptoms, just in case they do not show up when the tech is there.
