Just keep it on and deal with it and hope for a fix.Įdit - Oh, and try not to mess with the HDR setting in the game, just keep it at 100 or 300 depending on if you have an OLED or LCD/LED (100 for LCD/LED, 300 for OLED). Trust me, over some time with the game you won't be super bummed by it and there's not a whole lot of reason to go through the few hoops to turn HDR off and on from the system. Them fixing it would just make an amazing game look even greater. Frankly, while them fixing it would be nice, the game otherwise looks fantastic and you just kind of get used to it where it almost becomes a negligible issue.
It also says in the video that you can't, but I am playing the game on the X and I can't do it but have seen the PS4 menu in which you can. Once I reconfigured around that, everything fell into place beautifully.Īnyhow, I love HDR and will be curious to see where this Unfortunately, you can't. It took some messing with settings to remove black crushes, washed-out greys, and a general sense of “It CAN look really nice sometimes.” I’m at a place now where I’m thrilled with picture quality, largely due to the OLED panel paired with HDR.Ī real revelation was learning that HDR10 configurations should have an OLED brightness setting of 100 (Dolby Vision is set to 50). I’m doing my viewing on Xbox One X (I don’t quite want to spring for a standalone Blu-Ray player to get disc-based Dolby Vision) with an LG C7. I’m less sold on Marvel’s Netflix shows, but it’s still a dramatic improvment over SDR. Watching The Revenant or Blade Runner 2049, the color and lighting looks AMAZING when done right. Playing Rise of the Tomb Raider, Gears of War 4, and Witcher 3.the difference is staggering. Here it I’ve been lurking here as I plan on getting RDR2 for Xbox One X once I have time to play it, but I had to chime in that good HDR is the biggest visual game-changer for me since the jump to 720p/1080i (I think I got my first HD display about 16 years ago). I hope digital foundry can talk about the issue.Įdit - I checked this issue last night on my phone, and I was totally surprised to see so many others have the same issue, but I probably shouldn't have been surprised I guess. While I would change it to something different if I could, it's not so bad that it's ruining my experience.
On the Xbox One X, there is no option to turn it off either, but from what I understand it's not as bad as on the PS4. That said, I am curious if it was intentional? To get the atmosphere down or something.
It's like a layer of greyness is over the entire screen, as if the backlight needs to be put up even more or something. I am okay with it (as in, it's not ruining the experience), but the washed out brightness/contrast at the recommended 100 seems off. Yeah, I am conflicted about it (I was also going to make a thread about it last night asking what others' thoughts were on its implementation). It certainly isn't a bad-looking game, but it should and could look far better.
There's obviously going to be a little variation in trying to optimize things for varying TV sets, but for the higher-end stuff like OLEDs and high-contrast LCDs with full local dimming, the white/black range of the display is waayyyy beyond the limited portion of the HDR spectrum that games tend to utilize. Unfortunately, the implementation of HDR in games has been somewhat hit-or-miss as devs work to master the new technology.
look mind-blowing in HDR, which makes it all the more frustrating when you know what HDR is supposed to look like and a game falls short. Meanwhile, games like HITMAN, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Forza 7, Forza Horizon 4, etc. Forza Horizon 3 had a similar issue, FWIW, and Destiny 2 is noticeably too dark unless you overbrighten the black levels to where it kinda defeats the purpose. I tinkered with the TV and in-game settings for an hour last night trying to get it to look right, and it simply just looks flatter and more washed-out than it should no matter what. I suspected something like this was going on.
