HDR on pc

[Maxxium]

Heya all. I was puking my hair out trying to get hdr on pc to work well. I use a great hdr monitor ( asus pg32uqx ) hdr 1400 vesa certification. It just looked dull nothing popped ect. So after some reading I realized the gsme pulls hdr info from windows as a default setting. My default was like 987 white point and I knew this was wrong totally. Even when I look at my display in windows 11 it shows hdr vesa cert for 1400 hdr however that is not a windows calibration that’s from the monitor driver. So I downloaded win 11 hdr calibration software from the windows store and run that. It makes. Massive difference after running this software and going threw the settings the game default is now correct showing 1440 white point and 0 black as 25 brightness works great and looks way better give it a try.

I dont see the point of HDR anymore, it ruins too many aspects, and when I do get the calibration just right, there will be a part of the games lighting somewhere that just isnt right, not to mention streaming or screenshoting with HDR on just looks like oversaturated mess to other viewers. Waste of time and a marketing ploy to get HDR monitors. Just buy a 4k TV as ur monitor if you want this crap.

Depends on the panel for specific settings but yeah, darkest blacks, match peak nits to your panel without overdoing it and adjust via brightness slider to taste. I do that with every game.

You need a good OLED panel to get hdr working perfectly where it's always worth it

Sorry ya that is the link to it. Just do the steps required to calibrate the monitor in the app. Then just boot up Hogwarts and set hdr settings to default it should pull right from that calibration you won’t need to change anything in game other then setting it back to default to get the real readings that’s it.
