I will update this post today

Basically I would like to give you correct settings for HDR games I got. I am using mostly settings from „GamingTech“. I am using LG G2 settings because that one got max 1000 nits too. As someone who has a LG C2 monitor (max 800 nits), I found it really annyoing at beginning because I had 0 knowledge of HDR Gaming. So I hope my experience can help.

Before we continue I wanted to define what „paper white“ does. Basically it is brightness of UI in HDR. I mostly go for 120-150. It is just a preference. It does‘t change your game‘s hdr. Just the UI.

​

Gonna give you my source if there is any. You have to look what LG G3/G2 settings are. Use them for Deck OLED because both got same max nits.

​

HDR should be at 100% in Steam setting!

Game’s list:

Cyberpunk 2077

Monster Hunter World (99% for MH Rise the same thing)

Final Fantasy 15 Windows Edition

Divinty: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

Baldur’s gate 3

Nier Automata

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Metro Exodus

…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cyberpunk 2077

HDR Brightness at 1000

Midpoint 1.0 (it was 2.0 and just blowing out every highlighlight like lamps. If it is too dark for you, go a bit higher. Max at 1.5.)

Paper white: your preference

Monster Hunter World (99% for MH Rise the same thing)

Just use default HDR Mode. I don’t own Rise but from my understanding you have to leave it at default settings under “Brightness, Color and Contrast Settings”).

Monster Hunter World (Default settings):

Brightness 4

Color Settings 1

Adjusted Contrast 16

Some “Problems”: If you turn on HDR Wavemap you can see that it only goes up to 750 nits if you use stock settings. If you turn up brightness to 5 or use another contrast, you can fix “max nits”, however it completly fcks up your other highlights or shadows. Just leave it at default settings (before Iceborne, HDR was completly trash. They actually fixed it with this added default settings)

Final Fantasy 15 Windows Edition

In the following you will find my settings for HDR (GamingTech had 0 video on it because of how old this game is).

Basically I just put HDR Brightness at 1000 in Display settings. Don’t play with brightness settings. Just leave it at 50/100. I was playing around with it for 20 minutes and best thing to do is just put your max display nits as HDR Brightness.

“Some Problems”: Basically if you turn on HDR Wavemap you see that almost everything goes up to 1000 nits but there are some things like the sun that goes higher to 2000-3000 nits. That is actually no problem from my perspective because everything else only goes up to 1000 nits.
