Overwatch 2 - HDR Optimized Settings (Patreon)
Content
UPDATE:
The game now DOES USE/APPLY Xbox & Playstation HDR Calibration app settings , but only if you allow it through a new in-game option, otherwise you can still switch to the in-game HDR settings.
The game has a fairly good HDR implementation with an actual Peak HDR Luminance slider but not in numerical values (which can go up to around 3.000 nits), along with a Black Point slider and other regular Brightness/Contrast controls.
Click "OPEN CALIBRATION" under the HDR CALIBRATION section to modify the HDR sliders.
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
- Set HDR CALIBRATION Brightness slider to: Max (which is around 3.000 nits);
> you're using HGIG:
- Set HDR CALIBRATION Brightness slider to: +45 Clicks (from leftmost, 0; which is around 800 nits) or 56 (for G2) or 84 (for G3).
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
- Set HDR CALIBRATION Brightness slider to: +56 Clicks (from leftmost, 0; which is around 1.000 nits).
> you're using HGIG:
- Set HDR CALIBRATION Brightness slider to one of those values and the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits":
In all cases, set the HDR Black Point sliders to 0 (leftmost)
Leave "GAMMA CORRECTION" , "CONTRAST" and "BRIGHTNESS" sliders to their Default values as they already represent a balanced exposure/gamma.
