Hello,
New to the forum, thank you for all the support found here. First the devices: Onkyo TX-NR646, Samsung UN55JS9000, and Windows 10 PC with GTX 980. My goal is to get the best picture on my Samsung 4k HDR enabled TV running it through the Onkyo AVR. I watch everything through my PC, so I am trying to run the PC into the Onkyo, then connecting to the TV through the HDMI 4 port which is 2.0a and ARC supported. I have HDR color turned on for the HDMI 4 port on the television. However, when I run a dxdiag on my PC, I am showing that my display is not supporting HDR. I'm wondering if this has to do with it seeing the Onkyo as my display, rather than my Samsung?
Also, if it is better to run a HDMI cable directly to the TV for video, and another to the Onkyo strictly for audio, how do you do this? If I attempt to run HDMI from the GPU to HDMI port 2 (HDR color enabled) on my TV and another from the GPU to my Onkyo, Windows see's 2 monitors. But, when I switch over to HDMI 2, I only see a black screen. If I duplicate the monitors, I still only get a black screen on HDMI 2.
So, my question is what is the best set-up for my needs? I also game on my PC so being sure I am getting the full HDR color is a must. I'm assuming running one cable to the TV for video and one to the Onkyo for audio would be best, but I'm not sure how to get past duplicating monitors or to even get a picture on the HDMI 2.
Thanks
