Hunt: Showdown - HDR Optimized Settings
Added 2024-09-02 07:39:30 +0000 UTC
The game is NOT using/applying Xbox, Playstation or PC HDR Calibration app settings.
Many of you asked me to analyze the HDR in this game but only after August 2024 update the game got a big engine upgrade which now also includes a native (fairly good) HDR10 implementation.
The game actually provides in-game Peak HDR Luminance control in nits value along with additional HDR sliders as:
Contrast
Exposure
Auto (which when enabled should use system-level settings, but currently it doesn't)
Peak (which doesn't exactly corresponds to in-game nits so you need to add a +100 to match it)
UI
So:
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
Set Peak slider to: 4.100 (which is around 4.000 nits)
> you're using HGIG:
Set Peak slider to: 900 (which is around 800 nits) or 1.100 (for G2/C4) or 1.600 (for G3/G4).
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
Set Peak slider to: 1.100 (which is around 1.000 nits)
> you're using HGIG:
Set Peak slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits" and then add +100 on top of it
In all cases, set:
Contrast: 0.90
Exposure: 1.20
Auto: Off
UI: 200
Enjoy :)

2024-10-17 22:41:10 +0000 UTCBe sure SDR Gamma is set to 1 (as it also affects how the HDR game looks) then be sure the game is fully updated and set HDR as suggested. You can change the Peak in nits now

2024-09-22 20:28:18 +0000 UTCQuick question, the peak brightness doesn't to up to 4.1 and it's not in decimals, it's a while number.... So which settings for a C1? I feel like the contrast is off, crushed blacks
