I'm sure this is hurting your channel as the video doesn't perform as well as it should right when posting it. I honestly don't know which is better: getting it out asap, or uploading it and holding it until the processing is done.
Thank you so much for this. I thought the standard settings were way too dark on my LG C2 but raising the HDR brightness to max (60) makes it soooo much better. Love your channel! Thank you.
HDR looks great for me on PC. The only issue I have is that the menu and HUD elements are way too bright, regularly exceeding 300 nits, which could cause issues in the long run
I have ny first oled hdr monitor and im really struggling with these settings. Its great to have each setting explained properly so i know what each one does. My settings of course are different in some cases to yours but i have managed to set it up to my liking and can finally relax and enjoy the game 😊 thank you for this ❤
My personal preference on my LG G2 is HDR Brightness & brightness set to 36. The dark areas are still dark but not nearly as crushed as they were before, while also not blowing out brightness during daytime areas, but YMMV.
@@Noaixs Yeah, seems that the standard settings are just a little "too low" and cause a bit of black crush/gamma. My personal preference is 36, but between 30-40 on 1000 nit displays seems to be the benchmark. Think the problem comes down to not having any HDR calibration screens (ie the screen that shows "change this brightness where both images are the same colour type) so users really don't know where the perfect brightness level for their display/setup, this is an easy QOL setting they could add.
While the game isn't perfect it's hdr implementation minus peak brightness is actually pretty good. Thanks for the video I might tweak it a bit following your recommendation.
Fantastic as always, thank you! Couple questions though: 1) Would you recommend DTM or HGiG for the CX? 2) Have you updated your CX to 0.4.50.90? The update came out about 4 months ago I believe, but I haven’t updated yet because I’ve been hearing that it’s really screwing up people’s TVs :/
Great video and tips on settings for this game! Too bad the game is a bit buggy right now. Hopefully it gets fixed so everyone can have the best experience possible.
Hey my friend, really appreciate this video a ton as I think I've spent more time in the Display Settings for Xbox Series X on Stalker 2 than I have actually playing the game hahaha. I wanted to ask though, how do these same principles and standards compare to the outside environments and their lighting conditions at all and would it make a difference? I've found that upon setting and testing my own settings indoors, it's kind of wigged out my outdoor areas, unless I've just spent so much time in the settings I don't know how to tell anymore hahaha? Some moments it will look fantastic and then others it fades into a noisy mess. Please let me know if you have an answer to this at all, you've gained a fan and a subscriber either way! 🙏♥️🌏
In the gameplay, HDR is very good, but there are some problems, for example in the first cutscene or the main menu (sky and upper right corner), that the game has a very big problem with color banding. I have a good TV (LG OLED C3) and a good computer with a 4080s GPU. Can you tell me more about HDR errors on PC?
Hallo schöne Grüße aus dem kalten Deutschland (es fällt Schnee😅) frage wegen Pc Dynamic Tone Mapping. Diesen einfach auf EIN oder lieber HGIG verwenden? Ich danke dir für die Antwort, ein gutes Video wie immer ein 👍🏻 hast dir wieder verdient, wünsche dir ein angenehmes Wochenende.
Yes!! Thank you! I was waiting for this video while I was messing with the settings, I was not feeling very confident with my own results as I dont want to ruin the intended atmosphere. I have a CX, why should I leave HDR white point at 1000? It should be 800 if I am using HGIG.
@@waxphotography I am right you are not. I tested the game not you. If you would watch my video then you would know that the HDR W P has no impact on the max peak brightness in the game.
Why everyone talk about HGIG if it turns on it makes picture much darker in game mode and I think if I'm using vivid mode it's not even available for me.
Thank you Sir. Another great video! Do u know how to set the game to srgb image encoding on the series x? The option is greyed out for me :/ (playing on LG CX)
So If Im playing on the Lg cx with 800 nit brightness what exactly should the brightness and hdr brightness setting be to get the best picture? That with leaving the contrast, black point and gamma settings at default. Thanks for all your help and for still including the people who still game on a cx! You're awesome!
should we enable dolby vision or no? I actually always set HDR peak to 800 and already had so I'm glad I saw this lol also I find it weird that the brightness setting seems to control the peak HDR brightness more so than the HDR Brightness setting does
Any reason why my "Image Coding" shows Rec709 (LDR)?? Noticed yours says RBG and mine was Rec709 without changing anything.. Using LGCX and Xbox Series X
PC version has different default settings and i am not sure if they behave the same. Gamma for example has an effect. I play on a tv and just use your console settings and it looks ok, but i dont have the tools to measure it. I would appreciate a pc version analysis.
On PC I dont mess with the HDR settings. Instesd I go SDR, then use AutoHDR addon by majorpainthecactus in HDR10 with reshade, set to inverse tone mapping to correct color and this is used to convert SDR to HDR because native HDR is weird with settings at the moment. In the inverse settings, set to method a, gamma 2.2, adhust peak brightness to whatever your monitor or TV does and enjoy fixed HDR
Agreed game 8 hours in is dope. Most anticipated game for me of 2024. Ignore this guy obviously a team blue PS gamer who's salty he doesn't have ability to play the game. Get back to Lego Horizon 😂
The performance mode is between 45-60 so you wont really get a better quality at a fix 40 fps right now. I think they will add it later as they are really passionate and listen to the community, but right now I would be really happy with a deadzone setting😅
@@addaedans You could get slightly better res at 40 but not much But bro, the deadzone thing is CRAZY LOL even a BRAND NEW xbox controller will never wok with a 0 deadzone. I actually am using a 8bitdo hall effect controller and shut the deadzone off, and was shocked that I was getting a tiny bit of axial drift (it didn't drift on its own but when turning left or right, it went up/down a tiny bit). That made me realize the game itself has no deadzone so I set in the profiler softer to a 1% deadzone to get rid of axial drift any xbox controller will need a 5% deadzone minimum!!!! even brand new they drift at around 4%. Same with Sony and nintendo though my dualsense edge even after a year or 2 is just below 4% and was below 1% at first (they all get worse over time if they're not hall effect) All I'm saying is if they add a deadzone, it needs to be a slider from 0-20%. It better not be just a default 15% or even worse, 20% deadzone. That's way too much btw, you can play this with mouse and keyboard
@@HugoStiglitz88 I don't have any drift on my Xbox controller. Bought it almost new a few month ago. It is really sensitive tough, playable but not used to this
@HugoStiglitz88 the game is very smooth with VRR and 120hz ...very very smooth actually...50fps with VRR is 1000x better than that bad 30fps... I really surprised how this game run this smooth with VRR ...the best feature on this console
Aren´t you completely destroying your highlight rolloff when you set the hdr white point higher than the max brightness of your display? That makes no sense... If I set it above the (in case of my 42 inch LG oled for example) 700 nits, the roloff curve gets lifted entirely, so lights that would be between 500-700 with hdr whitepoint set to 700, would be 800-1000 now and therefore pure white.
On my dolby vision tv i have a hisense a7n btw. I set gamma to just before it made the mark dissappear it crushed the heck outta my blacks i went back to the standard. What would you reccomend for dolby vision my hdr is at 1000 and i left everything standard still somewhat dark looking for more pop.

I have a S90C and on Xbox it's clipping at 1800 nits even with tone mapping set to static on Game HDR Basic. So in my case I'll try brightness at about 57. I would check and see what your clipping point is in the Xbox HDR calibration setup and go from there.

@ dynamic tone mapping personally. I just prefer the brighter picture in most cases
can you please make one for the pc the HDR seems way off on pc.
I second this because I think I'm too incompetent to adjust it correctly but if I mess with the hdr it looks so bad compared to the rtx hdr
