HDR Brightness

[KaZaZ]

I have the Corsair Xeneon OLED monitor, and I need to set the HDR Brightness to 55/60 to make games visible indoors. Am I the only one who uses this setting on that level with HDR monitor??

35 for me, but I increased the other brightness parameter above that one to 60. (LG 27GS95QE-B)

i'll try your settings, what gamma level though?

25 gamma. I wouldn´t try settings from other people anyway, hdr is so messed up that I would recommend you to test it on your own... It´s a shame this game doesn´t have a background image to see what you are doing, that should be the logical thing to do...

And how is indoors, you able see something without flashlight?

try NVIDIA new app for HDR

keep in mind indoor lighting is messed up even in sdr, eye adaptation implementation is messed up

Just disable HDR. In this game and most games it is badly-implemented/fake HDR anyway. SDR is the way to play, and it should look great if your settings are accurate(game, Windows, monitor etc). I have an LG C1 OLED and play in SDR and will be much easier to display accurately.

HDR is also generally not recommended for OLEDs, at least when gaming, as it can really accelerate burn-in. HDR is only really worth it if implemented well(very rare) and without static HUD elements constantly on-screen, or with video content(movies, series etc.).

Yes, but again, take your time and tweak your settings as you like. If your problem is indoors, tune your settings while being indoor or inside a cave.

There is also a program called special K, you can override hdr and tweak it from there... you can "inject" hdr in games without hdr. Just don´t use it in competitive games, they may ban you.

Thanks for that, I'll try.

I've been using these files to fix (or mostly fix) windows games that don't seem to implement a proper gamma curve for their HDR. Hopefully this will help.
