Resident Evil 4: Remake - HDR Optimized Settings (Patreon)

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

The release version of the game has different HDR values compared to the Demo.

Please double check your settings!

The game has a good HDR implementation with (finally) no more black level raise issues as RE2:R and in part RE3:R and provides in-game Peak HDR Luminance sliders which can go up to 4.000 nits, but unfortunately the patterns used for those sliders do not represent the actual results you will have in-game.

If you have an LG OLED and:

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

• Set Max Brightness (HDR) slider to: +10 Clicks (Max; from Middle/Default, which is around 4.000 nits);
• Leave Brightness (HDR) slider to: Middle/Default

> you're using HGIG:

• Set Max Brightness (HDR) slider to: -4 Clicks (from Middle/Default, which is around 800 nits) or 0/Mid (for G2) or +4 Clicks (for G3)
• Set Max Brightness (HDR) slider to: Middle/Default for G2 (which is around 1.000 nits)
• Leave Brightness (HDR) slider to: Middle/Default

If you don't have an LG OLED and:

> you don't have an HGIG option:

• Set Max Brightness (HDR) slider to: Middle/Default (which is around 1.000 nits)
• Leave Brightness (HDR) slider to: Middle/Default

> you're using HGIG:

• Set Max Brightness (HDR) slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits" by following these references:
• 
• Leave Brightness (HDR) slider to: Middle/Default

BONUS:

• Performance Mode with No RT without VRR is Recommended on both XSX and PS5: this will provide the best IQ/Resolution while maintaining locked 60fps. The RT implementation on consoles is almost anecdotal and it isn't worth the performance drop;
• If you have a VRR TV, use the Resolution Mode with No RT but only on XSX (as PS5 does not support VRR with LFC and will result in visible stutters with this game);
• Disable Leon advanced hair physics in all cases: as this will bug Leon model illumination and also drop the performance, so it is not worth it as well;
• Turn Off Chromatic Aberration & Lens Distortion in all cases: for improving image claritiy on all versions/modes;
• Disable Film Grain: to improve both clarity and contrast of the picture.

Enjoy :)
