I’m trying to play Xbox at 120@1080 on my B8 LG OLED but when I switch over from 60@4k HDR seems to turn off despite being enabled, and the colours become really washed out.

Does anyone know if this is a limitation of the TV or a configuration issue?
 
Think I figured it out: I had enabled Dolby Vision at the same time as changing to 120hz.

Edit: no, still being weird. After disabling Dolby I got HDR, but something didn't feel right with the 120hz, and the 120hz option was missing in my game's settings (I'm trying to play Warzone 2). Then I restarted and got 120hz setting again but again (and it feels smoother), but no HDR, and Dolby still turned off :confused:

Long short but have you tried turning both off at the mains? I know sometimes hdmi can have handshaking issues.
Just tried that. Hasn’t seemed to make a difference.

Also when I’m running at 4K I can see a HDR option in the game’s setting menu, but not when I’m running 120hz.
 
I would try another cable, a certified 4k cable. I had a load of problems with my PS4 Pro years ago because the cable it came with wasn’t up to the job. It’s worth a go.

New cable didn’t work unfortunately. I can only put it down to the Series S.
