Kuycon G32P - 31.5″ 6K (6144×3456) IPS Black Monitor

How did you get his menu? I'm connected with a Thunderbolt 4 cable, and the menu on the Kuycon says "Auto" for HDR.

How did you set the HDR to auto in the menu. Mine shows off and I cannot see how to get to any field to turn it on.

Did you activate in the Display settings the HDR Mode > Gaming > HDRmode > set it to "auto"?

Yes however I did see that if I use the monitor settings and go to Misc and change the USB-C rate to 80 then the HDR option shows up in the Mac display window. But turning that on then disables normal screen brightness adjustments..

If I enable HDR in the display settings (HDR is set to Auto in the monitor’s OSD menu) the brightness slider appears. This is using a Thunderbolt 5 cable and a Mac Mini M4 Pro. Maybe it is the monitor firmware? I have the latest 2.2 version.

I have mine connected VIA TB5 cable but my HDR indicates off in the Kuycon menu. How to set HDR to auto?

Just tested using HDMI vs TB5 and all works great. I have HDR and the brightness keys work using my MonitorControl app. Picture actually looks better than the TB5 connection.

Just received my G32p (from ClickClack) and I compared it with my Studio Display:
Fit and finish is great
took two weeks to arrive here in USA via UPS
Color matches my Studio display and very sharp picture
no light bleeding with black screen
Received all hardware including two remotes
no owners manual or other paper work

I connected my Mac Mini M4 pro using a TB5 cable. I do not understand the HDR function as it does not appear in the Mac display settings an option. The Monitor menu states it is off.

When using TB5 cable, activate DP Ver 2:1 under the MISC. menu of the Kuycon. This then allows you to turn on HDR under System Settings/Displays of your Mac.

That is standard. But both of them could also encounter a problem at some point

I only received one remote. Feel cheated

DP is grayed out

And did you open real HDR Content on your Mac? If not, then there is of course no reason to show HDR.

Ah, I see. I also use HDMI 2.1 to run my Windows 11 PC on the Kuycon, but I had also connected my MacBook Pro M3 Pro with HDMI. I think your T5 connection wasn't using 80 Gbit/s bandwidth before, but went down to 40 Gbit (=TB4). That's probably a tad too little for 6K & HDR. HDMI 2.1 with 48 Gbit/s bandwidth is probably enough to offer everything with HDR support.

The fact that you were able to activate your T5 connection at 80 Gbit/s is a good sign, in my opinion, because the monitor has already recognized that this bandwidth is available... but whether it is stable is another question.

But I understand from you now that everything is working to your satisfaction via HDMI 2.1?!

I remember your post when you described that. I'm just not sure if I saw what happened with your case. You complained to Alibaba or Clickclack, right? Weren't you offered some kind of compensation?

Yes, all seems fine with HDMI but still do not understand why TB5 would not work.

Folks, those of you trying to enable HDR on this monitor are wasting your time. Just accept it as a non-HDR monitor. Even if you get it working, this is an IPS panel and the brightness for good HDR just isn't there.
Take this monitor for what it is, a very nicely designed monitor with a good glossy screen. Ignore the 'pseudo' HDR functionality.
I'm still on the fence as I ideally want something with a built in KVM, but otherwise would have gone all in on this thing.

I guess I agree. My Studio Display does not support HDR and is fine. I just like to know why something that is a supposed feature does to work as designed (more curious then anything).
