Colors washed out?
I'm using an Alienware AW3423DWF.

Tried turn HDR On and Off (in-game and on Windows)...

Tried messing around with the Brightness / Contrast / Sharpess configs...

But I still feel like the colors are very washed out, and the blacks are kinda gray.

I was just playing Destiny 2 right before it, and the difference was enourmous.

If you have an nvidia gpu, press alt z and bring up the game filter. Play around with colour on there :)

you can use the geforce filter feature in game (takes a bit of tweaking) or you can goto your desktop double click on nvidia settings on the task bar (open nvidia control panel), then two things you can do:

1) goto Video>Adjust video image settings. Then click on RTX Video enhancement and set quality to 4. (this will give you super resolution and should make the game look good)
2) goto Display> Adjust destop color settings. Then where it says "Digital Vibrance" You can adjust that to your liking. I put mine at 80-84%. it makes the color pop and look better instead of dull.

:) let me know if this helps.

Done... Waiting for the game to come back online do test it... Also, 80% colors gets too crazy (at least on Desktop / other applications)... But I will see if ingame looks good... Do you also use HDR with these settings?

nice! haha yeah i know it pops really well at 82%. I don't use HDR because my monitor doesn't do it well. I'm on a ultrawide display but when i do HDR it looks grey.

Seriously? That's a tutorial thing? The lifted black levels are so terrible looking, lol. I'm definitely going to keep going, but I don't understand why they would open with such a bad visual foot forward!
