Armored Core 6 - HDR Optimized Settings (Patreon)

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

The game has a decent HDR implementation providing proper in-game Peak HDR Luminance control in nits value up to 2.000 nits along with additional contrast and saturation controls. There is a problem tho: the corresponding, measured, nits values is usually a bit lower than the one setup in the game (e.g. 1.000 nits in game settings = 850 nits with measurements).

Another annoying thing is that for accessing the in-game HDR settings you have to first start a game mission, then open the in-game Settings menu and go to the following "Adjust Image Quality" section:

If you have an LG OLED and:

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

• Set Adjust Brightness slider to: 5
• Set Maximum Brightness slider to: 2.000 (nits; Max)
• Set Adjust Saturation slider to: 5

> you're using HGIG:

• Set Adjust Brightness slider to: 5
• Set Maximum Brightness slider to: 900 (nits) or 1.100 (for G2) or 1.600 (for G3)
• Set Adjust Saturation slider to: 7

If you don't have an LG OLED and:

> you don't have an HGIG option:

• Set Adjust Brightness slider to: 5
• Set Maximum Brightness slider to: 1.000 (nits)
• Set Adjust Saturation slider to: 5

> you're using HGIG:

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