Destiny 2 - HDR Optimized Settings (Patreon)

The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation HDR Calibration app settings.

NOTE: These settings are only valid after The Witch Queen DLC + Patch.

Destiny 2 HDR implementation always was one of the worst with little to no control over it + crushed blacks and mismatched contrasts.

Luckily things have radically improved after one of the latest DLC / Expansions "The Witch Queen" and its related patch to the base game.

Now the game has a totally different HDR settings page with proper "nits" selection:

If you have an LG OLED and:

> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:

• Set Peak Brightness slider to: 2.000 (nits; Max);

> you're using HGIG:

• Set Peak Brightness slider to: 800 (nits) or 1.000 (for G2) or 1.500 (for G3).

If you don't have an LG OLED and:

> you don't have an HGIG option:

• Set Peak Brightness slider to: 1.000 (nits);

> you're using HGIG:

• Set Peak Brightness slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits".

In all cases the "Midpoint" slider will not change the gamma/exposure entirely but only the black/shadows part. Leave it to 50 for the most balanced PQ.

BONUS:

• Disable Film Grain: to improve both clarity and contrast of the picture.
