Sea of Thieves - HDR Optimized Settings (Patreon)

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

The game has a very good HDR implementation with an actual Peak HDR Brightness slider in numerical values (but not in nits) which can go up to 10.000 nits. Generally it seems that the value put there actually corresponds to double the value of actual peak luminance in-game.

If you have an LG OLED and:

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

• Set HDR Max Brightness slider to: 2.000 (which is around 4.000 nits);

> you're using HGIG:

• Set HDR Max Brightness slider to: 400 (which is around 800 nits) or 500 (for G2) or 750 (for G3).

If you don't have an LG OLED and:

> you don't have an HGIG option:

• Set HDR Max Brightness slider to: 500 (which is around 1.000 nits);

> you're using HGIG:

• Set HDR Max Brightness slider to the half of the real Peak HDR Luminance of your panel (e.g. 1.000 for 2.000 nits).

Leave all the other video options to default.
