The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation/PC HDR Calibration app settings.The game has a good HDR implementation by offering precise in-game Peak HDR Luminance control up to 5.000 nits along with a general Brightness/Gamma and UI Luminance sliders.Initially the game suffered from black level raise but it got fixed with later patches and my suggestions needed to be changed after Title Update 3.2 (Game Version 1.04).If you have an LG OLED and:> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:

Leave Brightness slider to: 20;

Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to: 4.000 (nits)

Set HDR Peak Brightness UI slider to: 100 (nits).

> you're using HGIG:

Leave Brightness slider to: 20;

Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to: 800 (nits) or 1.000 (for G2) or 1.500 (for G3);

Set HDR Peak Brightness UI slider to: 100 (nits).

If you don't have an LG OLED and:> you don't have an HGIG option:

Leave Brightness slider to: 20;

Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to: 1.000 (nits);

Set HDR Peak Brightness UI slider to: 100 (nits).

> you're using HGIG:

Leave Brightness slider to: 20;

Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits";

Set HDR Peak Brightness UI slider to: 100 (nits).

BONUS:

If you have a 120hz display, use the new 40fps Graphics mode on Xbox Series X and PS5: in order to have the best visuals and performance balance;

If you have a 60hz display, use the "Prioritize Performance" 60fps graphics mode instead;

Enable VRR on Console/PC level to smooth out small dips in the framerate.

Bro....that zero slider.....I would have never even considered lowering it. You're worth every penny. Still waiting on Hunt Showdow though 🙄🫡🫶🙏

Also, forgot to ask, does 1440p improve framerate/anti aliasing? Avatar is doing some weird dithering in their game, looks like ass tbh. I'm gonna try it but I'm interested in your thoughts..

For reference: LG C1 55" on PC here. It was a bit of a relief to see you recommending 0 on the Brightness slider, as it confirms my suspicion that Brightness was the culprit behind the image being slightly off on both HGIG and DTM. It seems then, given the context of your post, that this oddness was indeed black level raise? I wasn't even sure exactly what it was, just that the image looked ever-so-slightly flat in bright areas and less-contrasty than expected in darker areas. So I tried 0 Brightness because I've had to use Brightness to mitigate similar shenanigans in other games in the past, and it seemed to alleviate the issue, so I just stuck with it. Now I feel justified! I have two quick questions for you though, if you wouldn't mind indulging me. 😁 Some sources (in this instance, GamingTech on YouTube) recommend using the FTDA setting in Game Optimizer to combat the black level raise. Specifically, the recommendation seems is FTDA -13 for DTM, or FTDA -6 for HGIG. Would you mind giving your input on this solution? Lastly, if one DID use the FTDA solution, would doing so impact the use of the Brightness slider solution? Thanks for everything you do!

Yeah I know it's got no HDR. That's why I'm confused about What to use. Can't wait for the April update, us console peasants have been looking forward to it since they announced. I guess I'm just curious about whether to force the PS5s settings through the HDR "always on" or to leave it on while supported. Keep up the good work! We all thank you immensely

I found using 1440p definitely stabilized the FR a bit, but could all be placebo🤔

Hey dude. I think they patched it. Default of 15 brightness is perfect now.

Taylor McDaniel

I don’t know if there was another patch that changed something new, but your current settings for HGIG on my LG C1 cause the image to become extremely dim. It seems to be tied to the “HDR Peak Brightness UI” setting. The default of 400 seems correct now.

I have size42 lg oled 45... 20 brightness, 800 nits and 100 ul nits... pssr or amd upscaling? What should i switch on my ps 5 pro in avatar game settings please? And hdr on or automatic hdr? Thank you paolo.

Granturismo7

Hi P40l0, why you recommend ul nits 100 ?

Hi Paolo :) I want ask you something please. I play DLC sky breaker now and i try this game with 4:4:4 passthrough on but i find out that when i rename hdmi to PC mode picture is darker and little laggy so i just rename it back for console name and just let 4:4:4on. My picture pop up, is more sharp and brighter. Should i let it on ? When i have this option on with hgig its not so dark like with off. Or is it bad? Thank you

Granturismo7

Hi paolo, on lg oled 42 version 45 its still warm color 45? And hdr clicks 14? There was some firmware updates recently so i just ask.

Sean Dunbar Smyth

Quick question. I have a hisense mini led with dynamic tone mapping but no hgig. What do i set the in-game brightness nits to? Is it 4000?
