Wow! Been doing it wrong the whole time 😱. This is why your channel will always be the go-to place whenever it comes to calibration settings, Vincent. Thanks so much for pointing this out, adjusted the settings straight away. I’m so glad your channel is starting to cover more gaming related content now as we have the new consoles out, I’ll definitely be sharing this one. Also really glad my LG C9 was calibrated by yourself in person 😁.

[@MonkeyDude1999]

IMPORTANT FOR LG C9 OR OLDER USERS: If you have LG C9 you have to set dynamic tone mapping to ‘HGiG’ and black level to ‘LOW’ (because it doesn’t have black level ‘auto’ like the CX) and set the RGB range on PS4/PS5 to ‘limited’. (If your tv supports black level ‘auto’ you should select that and also put the RGB range to ‘auto’ on your ps4/ps5.) You’re welcome. (The LG C9 should be in HDR mode to change the dynamic tone mapping) HDR summary: 1/3: adjust until the logo completely disappears 2/3: adjust until the logo completely disappears 3/3: set the logo to the darkest setting possible (if you’re in a pitch dark room, if you’re not in a pitch dark room and there’s some light in the room you can set it a little higher).

[@danielkissgremsperger3242]

Interestingly I get much better HDR if I set black level to low and rgb range to full... i get to see more color and higher peak brightness for stuff like fire, Sun etc

[@MarkMcCartney]

C9 users - RGB range auto or full and set black level to high, gets better results (for me anyway)

[@Allegro_Giusto]

Problem i get is hdr blacks aren’t black enough. Im about to try the 3 settings suggested in the video here. However I’m still on ps4, and either or, most game aren’t hgig capable is what i hear so not sure what to do. Specifically im playing ac valhalla and having so many issues, but i get this with all ubisoft games, not on others. So i set rgb to full of limited considering i have a lghdtv 2021 model

I’ve applied this to my PS4 Pro especially for Ghost of Tsushima. I knew that I was using non optimal HDR settings for a long time. Directly noticed the improvements although I have a PC monitor (4K 32", VA panel and Basic HDR). Lightings are more realistic, interiors have a more balanced dark tone, fog is more visible… sunny landscapes are especially sharper than before. And fast transitions between dark and lighter environments are much better too. Many thanks 😊

[@FreeAimDog]

you also have to check the in game settings, i know in red dead redemption 2 they have a stupid setting called cinematic mode in the HDR settings and you cannot lower the levels at all so it makes the game look dry and greyed out. HAHA i remember at launch it was terrible because it was the only setting but rockstar fixed it a week later and added a new setting called game setting or something where you can change the blacks and whites and paper whites whatever that is. it was a huge game changer since cinematic mode literally washed out all the colors and made the screen seem like it was losing brightness but it was really the game setting. most people kept HDR off until the patch was released to fix it.

@@interlake2043 They are wrong, he didn't go through the HDR calibration tool with the Canon for the Xbox like he's doing here, I hope he does as this is telling us exactly what the nit value is for each increase/decrease, which is helpful for those of us without HGIG displays as the tv's tone mapping is constantly fighting to preserve the detail, which hurts the tool's effectiveness.

[@phil_75]

The best settings for an Xbox is to swap it for a PS5 😂

[@aevinstax]

Adjust the HDR on the first two pages right before the sun logo disappears or on the level where it DOES disappear (Meaning Either/Or. When you can’t see it anymore OR the last brightness level before you can’t see the sun logo) and for the third page for adjusting, use the very darkest option so that you have true blacks on your LED TV because OLED TV’s turn the pixels OFF individually when it comes to black colors. Yes I know very fancy, love today’s technology ages.

[@1985NEVETS]

I have an A80J. Should I turn off gradation preferred (TV) before adjusting HDR settings on PS5? To have the symbol disappear it's 15 clicks with gradation off but with it on there's a few more clicks.

And I made sure to test it with an amazing game but with a broken HDR (Resident Evil Village) and it was the best when trying different (a little higher/lower than the first image that peeks/clips). If anyone finds this helpful with that tv, it’s 16 clicks up from the bottom for the first and second screen, then set the last all the way down as low as you can go. The best part about that TV’s game mode, it actually show what it’s running at on screen (nothing real in depth) but most importantly, it has where you can also control your whites and black if you want to get it REAL perfected.

I think it's essentially the same since the Xbox calibration menu will ask you to adjust the slider until the logo is NOT visible anymore.

So basically the jist is to do the first 2 steps one below "barely visible," essentially creating a half clip (assuring they're both exactly the same as well) and the last one at full darkness; with the additional (granted you're playing games) setting of the RGB range to full, manually, instead of auto? I do have an LG CX with HGiG enabled so this will definitely apply to me if I understood the video correctly?

[@nathy8979]

Should I clip it on the first two screens and put it to the lowest setting on the last screen on the XH90 that doesn't have hgig?

[@lofi3229]

I also would like this answer 😃

[@MatijsMeeren]

Answer above by me. Believe it. It's pretty accurate. Use custom (the preset), set local dimming to high, X-tended dynamic range to high, use colour temperature expert 2 (this way the sun logo gets more visible) when you stil barely see the logo click 1up, also on the 2nd image. And the last on all the way to dark. That's what I did at least. After that put your tv back to game mode and only change local dimming to high. Leave colour temperature on expert 1. Checked it on spider-man Miles Morales and Demon's souls. And it looks perfect right now. No whitewash, no black crush. I'm happy right now 😃😎👊🏻

Hi Vincent. Maybe you can help me. I own a Sony XH90 and try to follow your instructions on how to setup HDR properly. My problem is that the value between the first and second screen is not the same till the sun is clipping. Which setting on the TV can cause this behaviour? Thank you in advance. Maybe this is an important information. It worked properly till one of the lastetest firmware updates.

[@h1gh3r73]

Had this issue couple years back with my x900f and PS4 pro. You can't set 2nd screen lower than what you set in screen 1 and it turned out my contrast setting (90) was blowing out the white detail in screen 2. When I dialed it back to contrast 89 I could see the pattern at the same point on screen 2.

[@gernot-reininger]

@@h1gh3r73 thank you. I’ll give it a try 👍

[@unknowna1]

Great video Vincent. Side note, it may be beneficial to get commentary from Sony as they may be applying an offset of +1 or -1 on the values input by the user to align with the original guidance from the HGIG group (I.e. they could have assumed the user would find it easier to set at “barely visible” and then notch it one more to the clipping point due to some case studies showing people went too far on average).

[@christopherwright7077]

This. These recommendations are based on the assumption that the selected value is not "modified" compared to what you see in the calibration screen. I'd want confirmation as it is easy for placebo to make one think the slight adjustments are indeed better.

I’m a bit confused. I adjusted the HDR settings, but then realised I wasn’t on HGIG, and instead was on the default dynamic tone mapping so I put on HGIG and I had to change it drastically compared to my last HDR set up. So will this only work on HGIG? Or can I change back to default tone mapping and the brightness will be perfect? Thanks in advance for any replies.

[@danielkissgremsperger3242]

Bit late lol. Never set any hdr setting in dynamic tonemapping because it means that the tv will always tonemap on the setting. Hgig means that the tv doesnt tonemap, it uses the console/PC data

Awesome thanks. I always disliked this method of HDR calibration because it always felt like guess work. I like things a little more precise and this definitely helped. Btw, it works on PC too for anyone interested. One of hing I'm not sure if you mentioned is whether to set monitor color space to auto or native. I've heard it's a preference thing, but native seems more accurate. Thanks again.

[@PHY51C15T]

He covered the difference between the modes on another vid. He recommended HGIG so the PS5 (source) only is contributing or determining the HDR representation instead of also having the TV's rendition added as well. It can result in a loss in specular detail. Seems he's right based on my observations. I've noticed more detail in bright items with a lot of gradients like day sky with clouds in Ghost of Tsushima in HGIG than with tone mapping on (on an LG C9)

Regarding the RGB setting, your recommendation is to always keep it at Auto (Full) on the PS5? My TV is an LG OLED B6P. Does this mean I should keep the black level at the high setting? Is there any reason to mess with the contrast or brightness settings on the TV? Using the Disney WOW disc, it’s nearly impossible to get the correct brightness/contrast settings to where they should be according to the disc in the game picture mode. Thanks!
