Best HDR settings? I have an LG C2

[Wh1stl3]

Was looking for a good baseline for HDR settings, is the default good?

Can confirm RTX HDR has better highlights/contrast than the actual HDR implementation. However, by doing this you sacrifice wide color, which *does* appear to be working properly with the native HDR. You can compensate for this somewhat with the color saturation settings, but that’s a crude substitute for actual wide color gamut.

YEP HDR is a bit brocken... the max peak brightness Slider, does nothing. But otherwise it looks fantastic

HDR seems to be using the Windows calibration tool settings. Looks fine to me.

Try SDR and you will have litteraly the same picture, HDR does nothing on highlight (for example look at the Aloy focus when you trigger it)

You don´t need this settings anymore when you have the newest driver. They fixed the gamma 2.2 curve tracking.

Thx to point this 🙂

I have a LG C2 and default HDR settings look perfect.

My monitor's an LG C1 and with the Windows HDR calibration it picked up the settings automatically. Still, setting HDR Paper White to 100 gives me the best HDR experience with no deficiencies I can find. I am fairly certain most people here do not give a hoot about accuracy and actually thing of HDR as a vomit of color and brightness.

How do use RTX HDR, do you need to disable HDR in the windows settings? As wouldn’t it just use the normal HDR once the game launches?

1. Enable RTX HDR in the Nvidia app
2. Enable windows HRD
3. Disable windows 11 auto hdr
4. Load game
5. Use alt+z to open the nvidia filters
6. Add RTX HDR filter

There is a fix for the max luminance slider not working - credit to Ersh over at the HDR Den Discord server: https://discord.com/channels/1161035767917850784/1220402379321770027/1220507068054638622

That's odd. Can you see this one? https://x.com/FilippoTarpini/status/1770954703167254793?s=20

Indeed thanks.

disable hdr in game and use the new app from nvidia yo can tune hdr

[CharlieMason]

So, if you want the Native HDR to do everything for you instead of a stop-gap measure like RTX HDR, these are the instructions:

-Use Windows HDR Calibration tool to set your max luminance, or manually select it in the game's HDR settings.

-Then set the Paper White setting to max, which should equal to the max luminance if not lower by a count or two.

-Then set Shadow boost to +7
Highlight Boost to -5

This should allow the peak brightness in the game to hit the max luminance without killing the contrast or lightness. Adjust Shadow and Highlight Boost to taste AFTER setting them to these values, but try these out first.
