I literally stopped playing the game for a while waiting for the updated recommended settings! Your channel has been a huge help in making my games look better! Especially for Final Fantasy XVI and Resident Evil games! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Alan Wake 2 has a beautiful natural lighting look to it that I appreciate even at 50 brightness using HGIG. This is coming from someone who loves 1500 bit specular highlights.

You keep improving the quality of the videos. This will pay off.

Thanks for this HDR legend you are playing for my birthday today ☺️

Thank you yet again! This helps so much, downloaded and booting it up today. Praying for you and your family with everything going on with your work. God’s got it brother!

I noticed my image was brighter when I booted the game last night Thanks for the update

Finished it on 75 before the patches, was pretty happy with the look on my C2.

Hi man just wanna say i liked your livestream the other day, it was really cool and i think you should do a livestream like that ones a week with a new topic every time, like next time let the livestream be best TV topic, and next time best Monitor topic and maybe best game 2023, yeah anything would be cool, it was really great and thanks for this video 🤗

So I think LG fixed the dynamic tone mapping for the G3. Setting the inhame brightness to 50 and turning on dynamic tone mapping instead hgig produces a better image the hgig by a long shot. Black dark areas are still dark and black without raised black levels and there is more detail in the dark areas, colors are better as well and the image looked much more natural and bright. Definitely try it out. Remember, set the in game brightness to 50 before turning on dynamic tone mapping in game mode. It looks like hgig but without the black crush and dull image.

I feel like you could do a video about Lilium's HDR Reshade tools. A lot of people actually don't know about it and that you can fix black level raise in certain games (Cyberpunk for example) with the HDR black level floor fix shader.

Thank you once again for your video brother 😎

Love the BT.2020 FBI text on her coat

excellent analysis

This is the game that made me discover VRR flicker, with HDR enabled and the game having lots of dark moments it is pretty noticeable sadly.

Great work as always! 👏 How about setting up the system level HDR incorrectly on purpose and going for 1000-1200 nits peak brightness on an 800 nit display? Of course that would lose us some detail in the brightest highlights, but it should bring most other highlights closer to the display‘s peak brightness without lifting the black floor, right? I‘ll do some experimenting on that as well, once I get my hands on the game. Can‘t wait to play it! 🤩

Hey GT. New sub here. Are you planning, or could you do a vid on the Starfield update which put HDR, bright/contrast sliders in game? I was using -30 FTDA on my LG C3 like you suggested a while back and thought it looked pretty good. Now I can't stop fiddling with it. I defer to the expert. Thanks!

The game mode looks sharp. Very impressive

Personally, I use 75 game brightness and tv black level 49/100 instead of default of 50/100, using hgig in dark room. The recommended average screen nits is 300-400, without causing eye strain.

I had to come check this video because after playing several other games (and loving Lilium's analysis tool), i was surprised to see Alan Wake 2 only outputting in a Bt.709 color space. The new Cyberpunk 2.1 update kind of blew me away with its improved color depth in HDR, so i'm wondering if there's something i'm missing or if this is just the way the game was authored.

Thanks for your video, very insightful. Playing on a G3 here. Do you use the black stabilizer, white stabiliser, and/or fine tune dark area settings on this game? If so, can you share your settings?

I just turned on it 100 with Dynamic tone mapping. It looks better, in my opinion. (Using lg1).

I noticed that on 100 brightness yes it is much brighter but you loose a lot of details look at 4:08 you can clearly see the sky at 50% while at 100% all you see is white clouds because of the high brightness levels, I personally prefer a more natural look, this game is a very dark game so if you are having problems seeing in the dark adjust the black levels on the TV, but then we are all using different TVs to play this game, some times I play it on the samsung Neo G8 monitor which is very bright and the settings will be totally different than my Oled TV.

Lillium shaders are so usefull :)

Gamingtech Starfield HDR patch is live on Xbox, would love to hear your recommendation with the new sliders. Thank you as always!

Starfield just got HDR settings and contrast, brightness sliders in the latest update.

What if increasing the peak brightness in the system level and keep paperwhite at default 50?

Black level raise can be tuned easily on PC. But for people on console everything is dependent of the developer and native support for system level calibration. This is the reason my PS5 is more collecting dust than being used. I'll rather gane on PC because we can fix HDR easily now regardless of the game.

If i'm using a LCD display and its black point is already higher than the content's black level floor, does the black level floor makes any difference? Like, if i get the black level floor even lower, will it make any difference?

I set mine to 100 game brightness and love it but what do I put the UI brightness on for lg oled tv on Xbox series x?

Is the settings for Series X on the LG CX the same as the previous Alan Wake 2 video ?

@Gaming Tech Hast du die Fine Tune Settings am LG bei -4 gelassen in dem du bei Alan Wake 2 die spiel Helligkeit auf 100 gestellt hast ?

On my mini LED monitor in hdr i still get crushed blacks even with brightness set to 100, maybe i did wrong the system level calibration?

Lg oled c9, HDR brightness 50, DTM on

i dont' want get my eyes blind that early

i love deinen deutschen akzent

HDR is such a pain the ass. I have an Acer Predator X32fp and it wasn't cheap by any means. HDR gaming content either looks washed out, or barely better than running the thing at default SDR. Really annoys me you have to spend an hour just to get the calibration "correct" and then it merely looks ok. Sure the whites are pretty white and bright things like fire look fantastic, but is it really worth the hassle?

If I have Sony tv oled 1000nits peak brightness can I lower black level to kinda match ur lg oled settings!?

Don’t forget to turn off all your lights Tony and embrace all that HDR blinding goodness lol

Do you have an opinion on where to set game brightness on the Samsung S95C?

Does anyone know if they fixed the lighting, shadows and jagged edges for the consoles?

Why in my LG C9,if I set hdr how you recomended I end up with hdr brightness 500 nits in game settings?

Can you do Starfield for XSX next? It finally got the HDR settings update today... vielen dank!

This looks absolutely gorgeous on your screen and in HDR on youtube, but I know that a recording of a screen does not look the same as IRL. I'm having a lot of difficulty getting my A95L to look like this on windows 11. Looks sharp, but seems a little washed out

I'm playing on lg cx and xsx, and kind liked the dolby vision with your settings. Do you recommend turn dolby vision off?

Hi, but what about FTDA? You didn't mention it

I changed to SDR and then swapped back to HDR and now brightly lit areas look flat and washed. I can't fix it -.-

You are going to have to do a starfield updated HDR video lol. Game companys are keeping you busy

Can you post your tv gaming settings

Hi, GT. I have a 43qn90b, which has a peak brightness of 980 nits in console hdr gaming, according to RTINGS. What do you propose in terms of the in-game brightness setting?

Do you leave the fine tune dark areas setting tho

Would love for you to do remedy’s last game “Control” HDR settings. Any chance?

The game knows my max nits is 1700 so should I put my settings 1000 total with 500 on and 500 at the bottom . I am on series x

So the best option for CX is 75 or 100 in the slider of brightness?

Die Gamefilter sind ein Problem mit HDR.Das hat ein Entwickler schon geschrieben...übrigens der gleiche der den HDR Patch für Control gemacht hat. Mit den Filter wir HDR nie ganz Perfekt sein

Have you manually made your G2 OLED enter the BT 2020 color space for HDR coming from your PC? I see in your UI tray, you have the BT 709 listed as the color space the app is running in. Many modern OLEDs seem to require you to force HDR content into BT2020 for it to be running in it's proper native HDR color space

50 looks more realistic to me

Looking through your channel, it doesn't look like you've done much recently regarding Dolby Vision on Xbox Series consoles - if you have, I apologize for the question. Is your consensus to not use Dolby Vision on Series consoles and simply rely on HGIG (or in my Vizio's case turning on Game HDR) along with properly calibrated System HDR Settings or is keeping Dolby Vision on a solid option? Does this (or any game) HDR brightness "fix" even matter in this game if you are using Dolby Vision since Dolby Vision is supposed to be doing all the work anyways?

it's really interesting but now I switch to Tone Mapping On instead of HGIG for most new games ... does anyone else have this experience?

For a2 oled please😢

This game has horrendous banding and near black image. Control had the same issue.

My c2 hits 500 nits at 100 brightness.

How do you have that data from your tv?

Has the Lip Sync improved in Xbox Series X?

Can you do an HDR settings for Control ultimate edition? Thanks!

So 50,75 or 100 please?

if i need to watch a HDR video for every patch for every game because HDR always changes i don't want HDR anymore

You doing hdr setting for Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora?

What about setting on 50 and dtm on??? I think it looks great

What about the fine tune dark areas setting?

Hey i have that lamp!

You have to turn up the brightness to appreciate the day and turn it down to appreciate the shadows in dark places. Bruh, they did a terrible job with this lol

Question: I have a LG C1 should I use RGB or YCbR for my amd driver? Thank you.

Sie müssen sich wirklich kürzer halten oder ammEnde eine Übersicht zeigen mit den Einstellungen.

может разработчики специально сделали в игре яркость 100 нит чтобы ты БЫЛ ВЫНУЖДЕН ИГРАТЬ В ТЕМНОТЕ?)))

5:26 это ужасно... яркость 150 нит... я ненавижу эту игру... пытался посмотреть геймплей на ютуб и не мог понять в каком месте тут HDR... если яркость как на офисном мониторе...

hdr is trash, I gave up on it a long time ago. It needs to be fully manually tuned by the actual artists making the textures, otherwise, you get a washed out joke that wasn't the artists' intentions. The washed out mid tone scenes is one problem, brights not being bright enough and darks not being dark enough is another. But worst of all, vetical banding. I've seen vertical banding every TV I've ever used. In dimly lit scenes that should probably be fading to black look really washed and have large vertical collumns and more on the left side of the screen for some reason. An then there's constantly having to change up all your settings, TV, GPU, in game settings, every time you switch content. give me a break! 👎 Sdr's way to go, and I don't see this changing until they realize hdr CANNOT be a linear application, ruins the low color low light scenes, it needs to be tuned specifically to brights, darks and color highlights.

Does this game have vrr support?

On Xbox is broken, it gives a grey tone that looks dark and awful. the colors are dead. It looks so bad that the real HDR is no HDR. remedy amateur hour

I honestly don't understand the hype around this super annoying game? it doesn't even look particularly good (at least on console), compared to games like COD, TLOU Remake etc ... unfortunately I deeply regret the money I spent here

"If you want to increase the light brightness,increase the game brightness"... What a genius... "If you increase the brightness,your black will be brighter... Wow,great,ty,didn't know. "I can't give you any setting..."". Is it possible to block a channel? I need it quick !
