No...
It happens only when watching normal TV.
No issues during Netflix or PlayStation.
I noticed that after the update channels take a little more time to switch. Like one second more.
Weird. And there is no way to roll back afaik.

Not much alternatives outside making your own chipset, and only LG and Samsung (any more?) seems to have the know-how to do that.

I did this update and as soon as i turned on the PS5 is did the automatic HDR thing.
Didn't try VRR but i'm sure it's the same crap as in the USA.

So I updated my xh90 to the latest firmware, because I was getting some handshake issues, that would drop sound when switching back to my pc hdmi; a quick restart of the TV would fix it, but hey why not just update the tv and hope it fixes the problem?
Well this might be one of the worst updates I've ever experienced.
First the UI has changed now so every time you go into settings, it moves away from the input so you lose the audio that might be playing....this used to be just a simple overlay like everything else in the damn menu.
Second, and the most egregious thing, for some reason the update forces ALLM to be enabled on pc, this means start a game and boom, locked to game mode...even with 'auto picture mode' disabled this shit happens; the tv is already very low latency in standard mode @120hz, so game mode is not needed at all, heck it's the worst option because it looks like shit; it's only required for 60hz.
I actually had to use some program called CRU, to edit the edid to disable ALLM, that or manually add some registry entries...I don't understand how Sony thought this was acceptable, or how it's even legal to change how I want to use my TV..., also I checked my XSX and it has an option to enable/disable ALLM, so why the fuck doesn't windows/nvidia/amd have these options as well?

I don't know so I asked ChatGPT
To enable High Dynamic Range for Gaming (HGiG) on your PS5 and X90H, follow these general steps:
1. **Ensure HGiG Compatibility:**
- Make sure that both your PS5 and X90H TV support HGiG. Check the specifications and documentation for your TV to confirm its compatibility with HGiG.
2. **Update Firmware/Software:**
- Ensure that your PS5 and X90H TV have the latest firmware/software updates installed. Manufacturers often release updates to add new features and improve compatibility.
3. **PS5 Settings:**
- On your PS5, go to "Settings."
- Select "Screen and Video."
- Choose "Video Output" and then "HDR."
- Enable "HDR" if it's not already enabled.
4. **TV Settings:**
- On your X90H TV, access the TV settings menu.
- Navigate to the picture settings.
- Look for an option related to HDR or HGiG. This might be in a section like "Picture Mode" or "Advanced Settings."
5. **Enable HGiG:**
- If there's a specific setting for HGiG, enable it. This may be a toggle switch or an option within a menu.
6. **Adjust Picture Settings:**
- Fine-tune the picture settings to your preference. You may find settings for brightness, contrast, color, and other parameters.
7. **Verify HGiG Activation:**
- Check your TV's on-screen display or information panel to confirm that HGiG is active while playing HDR-compatible games on your PS5.
8. **Game Settings:**
- Some games may have specific HDR settings. Check the in-game settings to ensure that HDR is enabled.
Remember that the specific steps and menu options can vary based on the firmware versions of your devices. Refer to the user manuals for your PS5 and X90H for detailed instructions tailored to your specific models.

Yeah that's where I'm at. I just can't see HGiG specific options.
The XH90 did get a firmware update enabling it. And I know the PS5 supports it. Maybe its all just done automatically
