Every time I open or close a game/app my monitor screen goes black for about 5 seconds before continuing as normal. I don’t think it’s the “screen of death” that is referred to in many troubleshooting videos on YouTube as it only goes black briefly. I’ve had my console (Series X) for over a year and haven’t experienced this until today, I also haven’t made any recent changes to any settings. It’s not the worst problem but definitely slightly annoying, if anyone has a fix it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

It is because your TV/monitor takes 5 seconds to swtich between "HDR" and 'non-HDR' modes.
Different displays can make that switch at different speeds.
there is nothing you can do to 'make it stop' - other than completely disabling the HDR feature on your xbox

Is there a reason it would’ve started doing that today ?
noble ferry
becuase you finally noticed it?

In the settings page “General Video Modes” should I allow HDR10 and enable auto HDR ?
noble ferry
those are two different things.
HDR10 turns on hdr functionality at all
auto HDR enables a series x/s console to automatically convert a non-HDR game in to an HDR output game

Ok would you recommend either ?
