XDefiant - HDR Optimized Settings
Added 2024-05-24 15:04:19 +0000 UTC
The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation or PC HDR Calibration app settings.
The game has a good HDR implementation as it offers different in-game HDR controls including a Peak HDR Luminance slider (which can go up to 3.000 nits).
Some adjustments are needed for Brightness/Contrast to look good tho.
First of all select HDR10 as HDR type:
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to: 3.000 (nits; Max)
Set HDR Brightness for UI Elements slider to: 200 (nits)
> you're using HGIG:
Set HDR Peak Brightness slider slider to: 800 (nits) or 1.000 (for G2/C4) or 1.500 (for G3/G4)
Set HDR Brightness for UI Elements slider to: 200 (nits) or 276 (for G3/G4)
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
Leave HDR Peak Brightness slider to: 1.000 (nits);
Set HDR Brightness for UI Elements slider to: 200 (nits)
> you're using HGIG:
Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits"
Set HDR Brightness for UI Elements slider to: 200 (nits)
In all cases, set Brightness and Contrast sliders to 17 to improve an otherwise too dim/dark default appearance.
Enjoy ;)

2024-05-26 11:32:11 +0000 UTCOps, no, I just forgot to write that part: set it to 200 nits except for G3/G4 in HGIG (where you should set it to 276 nits) Article updated. Sorry ;)
