HDR Feature Guide

Learn about the HDR feature of the xbx a01 glasses for a more realistic visual experience.

What is HDR​

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a display technology that can present a wider range of brightness and richer color details. Compared to traditional SDR (Standard Dynamic Range), HDR can:

  • Display brighter highlight areas with clearer details
  • Present deeper dark details with richer layers
  • Provide more accurate and vivid color performance
  • Create a more immersive visual experience

Why Use HDR​

The xbx a01 glasses support HDR feature, providing you with the following advantages when watching movies, playing games, or viewing photos:

  • More realistic colors: HDR can reproduce the true colors that content creators intended to express, making the picture more vivid and natural
  • Richer details: Whether it's bright skies or dark scenes, more details can be presented
  • More immersive: High contrast and rich colors make you feel as if you're inside the picture
  • Professional-level experience: Supports mainstream HDR standards, bringing you visual effects close to professional displays

How to Enable HDR​

The HDR feature requires the external device, system settings, and playback content to all support HDR to take effect. When a device that supports HDR output (computer, phone, tablet, or game console) has HDR enabled and is playing HDR content, it can display HDR effects; if the device only supports SDR output, does not support USB-C video output, or does not support DisplayPort Alt Mode, it cannot output HDR images.

  1. Double-click the 「X」 button below the right temple to open the OSD menu
  2. Click the 「X」 button to enter 「Display」
  3. Find 「Dynamic Range」, use the 「+/-」 buttons to switch to 「HDR 10」 and confirm to enable
  4. Enable High Dynamic Range on your computer (using Windows / macOS as examples)

  • Windows:

    1. Open Windows 「Settings」 → 「System」 → 「Display」
    2. Select the display corresponding to the glasses under 「Select a display to view or change its settings」 (if there are multiple displays)
    3. Enable HDR under 「HDR」 related options (such as 「Use HDR」)

  • macOS:

    1. Open 「System Settings」 → 「Displays」 (older versions: 「System Preferences」 → 「Displays」)
    2. Select the display corresponding to the glasses (if there are multiple displays)
    3. Enable 「High Dynamic Range」
Tips

If you don't see the HDR option in system settings, please confirm that the connected device and display output itself support HDR output, and try changing the interface/cable or reconnecting.

3. Play HDR10 Content to Start Experience​

After enabling HDR on the device, please play video or game content that supports 「HDR 10」 to experience the 「HDR 10」 effect.

Tips

Most games require entering the game settings to enable 「HDR 10」 again.

Important Notes​

  1. Content Support: HDR effects only take effect when playing HDR content. Normal SDR content will not display HDR effects.

  2. Device Support: Ensure your device supports HDR output and has HDR enabled on the device.

  3. Power Consumption: Enabling HDR may increase power consumption. It is recommended to ensure sufficient device battery when using HDR.

  4. Visual Adaptation: When switching from SDR to HDR, it may take a few minutes for your eyes to adapt to the brighter picture.

  5. Brightness Adjustment: In HDR mode, it is recommended to appropriately adjust the brightness settings of the glasses for the best visual experience.

  6. Content Source: For the best HDR effect, it is recommended to choose high-quality HDR content sources, such as 4K HDR movies, games that support HDR, etc.
