washed out colors on QD-OLED

[I3o0M]

there are no blacks, everything is grey and washed out :(

[Xbob42]

Yup. Looks absolutely terrible, like they brought back the pee filter from Fallout. The main menu has a planet in shadow and it's perfect black. What on Earth.

[TheWashableBomb]

lol they didn't even include a brightness calibration.

[Sierra]

Same Problem.

Unfortunately it looks like that on all displays. The default settings are awful and we have no calibration settings. In the meantime, you can use Nvidia freestyle to adjust the contrast and gamma

There's no native HDR or even AutoHDR

[Hichem]

one solution : reshade

[tastethecourage]

Same problem here.

Is this first cave supposed to be dark? It's a huge washed out mess. The hell, Bethesda? Lol.

It’s so baaaad! The dang loading screen looks better because at least it’s black.

[Bobs]

Yeah looks like crap on my oled also.

I'll post here too, hopefully enough people speak up about it.
If they estimated very few PC players would invest in OLED by 2023 to get true HDR into their games.. I'm here to tell you they have grossly miscalculated.

The promising part is, when I launch the game it Does run in HDR10 mode, and the initial splash screen with the star going around the planet is gorgeous.

But there seems to be some compatibility issue with lighting in the actual gameplay. Hopefully (Hopefully) that is all the problem is.

I don't know why nobody else has noticed and mentioned that the initial splash screen is actual proper HDR and looks great. Maybe a lot of people don't have real HDR monitors, that has certainly been a problem, because their posts and advice do nothing but create noise that prevents devs or anyone from getting to the root of the actual issue. Of course, in online forums this happens every time, for anything.

In-game it looks like the lighting information from light sources is not being understood by the monitor or something. This is on the Alienware oled, if anyone of note ever reads this ever.

And don't tell us a modder will fix it, because they can't. Don't tell me using reshade accomplishes the same thing, because it won't. And for the record I don't agree with letting dev teams off the hook on every little thing because some modder you assume is more talented than a studio (they aren't) is going to fix everything.

Just help lend your posts to the cause so that hopefully this can get seen and fixed. I don't want to play through half the game before the HDR starts working, that's not why we spend the big bucks.

Same on my LG monitor (PC)

This guy has a potential fix for the AutoHDR not enabling in W11, haven't tried it myself yet.

I intend to play it on an LG C1 OLED TV

That's just the game, it's not your screen.

I fixed it for the most part by manually turning the gamma on my monitor down (it's baffling Bethesda didn't include a gamma setting before you play the game), but the colours still aren't great.
It's a dull game.
