Xbox Wireless Headset - Optimized Settings
If you can't afford or don't want to invest that much for the Audeze Penrose X (which remain the best wireless headset to date overall) I recommend you to give a try to the popular Xbox Wireless Headset.
For the much lower price they're still pretty good, comfortable and feature ric...

The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation HDR Calibration app settings.
The game recently received a free "Next-Gen" upgrade which also introduced an HDR "On/Off" option with no actual control of Peak HDR Luminance or other HDR values.
At the moment, the HDR toggle seems limited to the PC version only.

The game is NOT using/applying Playstation HDR Calibration app settings.
The game has a decent HDR implementation up to 4.000 nits but with very difficult in-game controls for it. Different sliders are intertwined between them in order to actually change Peak HDR Luminance, black level and contrast.

PUBG: Battlegrounds - HDR Optimized Settings
The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation HDR Calibration app settings.
Unfortunately this is a bad HDR implementation as Peak HDR Luminance seems to be fixed to 400 nits (which is very low for HDR) and not adjustable in-game (leave all settings to their default or you will make it even worse).
For this reason it is suggested to use Dyn...
