I’m able to stream 2060p60 HDR content on YouTube after turning Enable VP9 video format to Always On within Microsoft Edge. However, I’m unable to stream HDR content over Netflix on a PC (neither through an AMD graphics card nor the internal graphics by Intel). I have tried switching back and forth between HDMI and DP connectors without luck. If possible, how do I enable HDR or at least ULTRA HD 4K content on Netflix given my system specifications and current settings? After chatting with Netflix my case was referred to “tier 3” who came back with the dubious claim that my system was incompatible, so now I’m resorting to the AMD community with the hope my problem will not go unnoticed nor unresolved.
