Game HDR setting disappeared after TV update (2024 S90D, Tizen 9.0/One UI)

[NotElite]

Hi, I’ve recently updated my 2024 65 inch Samsung S90D TV to Tizen 9.0/One UI firmware number 1206. Before the update, there was a setting in game picture expert below HDR10+ gaming called ‘Game HDR’, aka HGIG setting in other TV manufacturers, that I used to have set to basic. With the new update, it has completely vanished from the game settings. I can play games in HDR however I believe that HGIG is not active. Is there any way to turn HGIG/game HDR on in this new update?

QE65 S95D here, updated to 2106. HGIG is gone, Colour Booster doesn't work in Game mode for HDR signals and my picture settings for various inputs are modified and messed up.

I'm very unhappy about this.

This same issue is affecting my S95D with the recent firmware update.

Not happy about this at all. I hope Samsung are aware and will put out a fix.

Can you change the colour booster mode under Picture settings advanced settings? I managed to do this but not through the game mode settings. I did it on the actual picture settings while on HDMI 1.

The setting that was activating HGIG called Game HDR is gone after 2106 update, nowhere to be found and even tweaking the settings to imitate that won't give a good end result.

This is a MUST for many game consoles and I hope is a bug in the new update and Samsung is going to reintroduce it soon.

Keep opening topics about this and hopefully they will realize. Samsung support not helpful and they don't seem to know about it.

Even though my feeling is that the setting is now in the "Basic" state per default and non-changeable (because Switch 2 calibration works exactly like before with 1301 and having set that option to "Basic"), I agree that it seems to be a bug that this option is missing now. Especially because on the 2025 models where Tizen OS 9 was installed from the beginning (like S95F), it actually IS present. So there is no reason why it should be missing on 2024 models, where it was present before the update as well, but where it is gone now.

Hi guys,

I asked about this out our side, and it turns out the setting is still there, but moved to a different place in the new UI for 2025:

Let me know if this helps.

And just to add, I've also merged the topics on this. Opening multiple topics on the same thing generally dilutes the attention attracted and communication for that thing. This place works best when the same things are combined. 🙂

This literally is the same as it used to be and the issue is that the Game HDR option is not there, that's why we are complaining about it, what you showed in the screenshot is not there:

Now the sun on the right doesn't disappear no matter what I do, so not really the same.
