Monster Hunter World - HDR Optimized Settings
Added 2022-04-19 08:34:42 +0000 UTC
The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation HDR Calibration app settings.
The game has a fairly good HDR implementation with an actual Peak HDR Luminance control in numerical values (not in nits) and up to 5.000 nits.
Unfortunately reference images for calibration are not representing what will actually happen in-game when you adjust those values.
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
- Set Brightness slider to: 23 (which is around 4.000 nits);
- Set Contrast slider to: 18;
- Set Color slider to: 15.
> you're using HGIG:
- Set Brightness slider to: 4 (which is around 800 nits) or 6 (for G2) or 8 (for G3);
- Set Contrast slider to: 18;
- Set Color slider to: 15.
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
- Set Brightness slider to: 6 (which is around 1.000 nits);
- Set Contrast slider to: 18;
- Set Color slider to: 15.
> you're using HGIG:
- Set Brightness slider to one of those values and the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits":
- Set Contrast slider to: 18;
- Set Color slider to: 15.

Thank you for your quick response P40L0, I will use these settings in the meantime!

2022-11-06 08:53:22 +0000 UTCAt a first glance it seems that Peak HDR Luminance is fixed and cannot be adjusted there, so enabling DTM could be the recommended choice for it. I will further look into it and let you know in case something changes

Is there any chance that you are going to take a look at Monster Hunter Rise? The PC version got an update for HDR and it looks overly bright on default settings. The settings menu for it is also different from World. Thanks for your work!
