Hi,

I have a 75 inch 4k TV with HDR! i have a question for gaming..

First of all I know the best is YCBCr444 at 12bpc but it is NOT supported at 60Hz

so my question regarding games is this one:

Which mode offers the best vivid colors for gaming?

1:) YCBCr4:4:4 at 8bpc at 60hz?

2:) YCBCr4:4:2 at 12bpc at 60hz?

3:) RGB at 12 bpc at full spectrum, at 6ohz?

Thank you and i value your input

As you said 4:4:4 is the best , even in 8bit. All other modes will either crush the blacks or make the colors look off.

I'd say full range RGB is probably the second best bet.

RGB and 4:4:4 for sure.

Both look very good with my HDR TV and work equally well for gaming.

You know you can just swap back and forth and use your eyes though? lol

YCBCr4:4:2 10 bpc , windows use HDR10 so forcing 12 is overkill as it will be downsized to 10 ...so for HDR under current windows condition YCBCr4:4:2 10 bpc

or Full Range RGB

Full RGB suppose to be the most authentic for source. Each TV reacts differently to color spaces, just try them all and pick the one you like the most.
