I have Samsung NU7100. While watching the OA on Samsung's defualt Netflix app I have notices it was dark, after increasing the brightness I noticed OA was on HDR.

I am not able to enjoy enyshow which are in HDR. Is there any way I can disable HDR for Netflix APP?

I have this same issue as well as other multiple users that have the same issue and Samsing simply wont help us disable it. a simple software update that will disable HDR by a menu options os all that I want.

This is frustrating and Netflix is useless. Also, they should present a format that works with all TVs like all the other streaming apps do. Having said that, my Roku allowed me to turn off HDR by selecting a non HDR 4k 60hz option for my TV. Netflix originals look perfect now. No more darkness!

So Samsung has still not fixed this.  Funny how Neflix looks good on every other TV and device I own.  Just not my Sansung TV.

The best way to get around this issue is to get one of the 4K Amazon fire sticks. These will let you disable HDR and it makes Netflix watchable again on the NU 7100.  You can usually pick up an open box one in the 30 to $40 range. The Samsung TVs are not the only one that have this issue. I have a TCL also and on that TV you can't disable HDR in the Netflix app either.

I tried doing that but the Fire Stick wouldn't let me disable it, it would still stream HDR 😞

Use an apple tv 4k set to 4ksdr for all apps. Then disable the network on the samsung. All content in 4k. No sdr. Best of all no ads.

Hello, can you explain me exactly how you did it? I get into the service menu but can't find the option anywhere and I'm desperate. Thank you
