What HDR mode do I want?

[Tokenn]

My game settings offer two HDR modes...HDR10 PQ and HDR10 scRGB. What's the difference and which one do I want to use, or does it matter?

Hmmm...no feedback yet. I activated HDR10 PQ in game, and while it seems to make the game look a little sharper, it seems to have knocked out my calibration generally...YouTube is way oversaturated. I guess I'll just have to experiment.

There are some issues with scRGB in the game, currently, in that frame generation doesn't work when using it.

HDR10 PQ works fine. scRGB is supposed to be better, using a bit more colours (I think? ...or something else technobabblish), but also more VRAM, which is apparently why frame generation is struggling with it.

The HDR calibration screen isn't vey representative of how it looks in the game, I've found, so best thing is to experiment.

I've found that setting the lower left slider to max (3.0) is best for my screen, for example, for me to be able to see well in the dark. Slider above is set to 400, since that's how many nits my screen is, I believe. Or it could be 600 (or even 1500), but I find 400 to be fine, or else I get blinded everywhere during daytime.

(Not exactly an expert, in case that was unclear )

HDR10 PQ I find is the best one to use for Cyberpunk the other one is way to dark.

Also best thing to do with HDR is just enable it when you are either playing a game or watching a movie or TV show that supports it leaving it on all the time in Windows most things just look bad.

Thanks...that is exactly what I've found too.
