The yield are two - plica . First , there ’s a known issue with Netflix wherein the HDR style is trigger off even when content is n’t HDR . This leads to the content looking rinse out and orange .

The 2d issue , reported on Reddit , revolves around HDR mood in Ultra High Definition Blu - Rays . Whereas Netflix is eagerly wage HDR in all content , the Blu - Ray app is not properly engaging HDR mode for subject with HDR in it . This is leading to dread “ abstemious bleed ” where points on screen are brilliant than they should be .
In the case of the Xbox One S this presents at the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen being much shiny than they should be .
Like the Netflix bug , this young Blu - Ray bug is n’t a deal breaker , but is by all odds irritating and unattractive . It ’s also nearly ruinous if you ’re the kind of person who has dropped thousands of dollars on a UHD TV and Xbox Ones S and would care it all to play back exactly right .
Fortunately , both bug can be decide with a software update from Microsoft . Yet , with the Netflix microbe having been around since launch in former August , it ’s anyone ’s conjecture when the bugs will be resolve .
We ’ve reached out to Microsoft for comment and will update as soon as we hear back .
