And when you’ve found it, make sure it’s set to on.īear in mind that, unhelpfully, different brands tend to use different words to describe their HDMI Enhanced modes.

So if you have a 4K HDR projector or TV, or an AV receiver with 4K HDR passthrough, head into its connection menus and look for an Enhanced mode option for the port your PS5 is connected to. And more often than not there’s generally no onscreen prompt to remind you that you need to do it. But at one time all 4K HDR devices required the HDMI Enhanced switch to be made manually. Many modern devices now support auto switching for their HDMIs, so you don’t need to manually call in the Enhanced mode. This enables the HDMI to pass the extra amounts of data associated with 4K HDR feeds.

The issue is that (pretty ridiculously) some equipment capable of playing or passing through 4K HDR video feeds can only do so if the HDMI port the PS5 is connected to has been set to its Enhanced mode. This appears to be by far the most common way of solving PS5 owners’ 4K HDR woes. Make sure your display or audio device’s PS5 HDMI port is set to Enhanced mode.
