[@jesstech]

You don't need to blindly test CRU luminance values. The formula for Max luminance is 50 * 2^(value / 32), so for a peak brightness of 1000 nits the value would be 138.302. Though I'm not sure if CRU expects whole integers for these values.

[@plasmatvforgaming9648]

Thanks, I pinned the formula in one of the old videos, but I forgot. I'll pin this one. Thanks!

[@perryphillipsde7551]

Your work is great. I have gained much more understanding of HDR functionality through you. Thanks for the trial and error. >>> Now for my latest findings as a Samsung Q70R user, for Samsung users. The Color profile works, but: - It crashes the Black Levels on too many games, despite neutral settings on the TV. - The Q70R manages about 700-750 nits and has record contrast values for a Qled TV about 7800:1. With the profile no highlights are crashed, but they also do not pop and are barely visible. >>> Hence my test: * Console Mode (Not PC, Reason= to dark, -100 Max Peak Brightness, no matter what settings. You become 600 Max Peak and all other Highlights between 600 to 800 Nits are Crashed. You can Counter the Crashing with Contrast at 44, but its more darker and you have -150 Highlight Brightness on PC Mode). Use Console Mod. * TV settings: Brightness to -5 (=Max Negative) Contrast =Max, Sharpness=1, Color=21, Contrast Enhancer=Low (Important for Oled lilke Pop, believe me, I have many reference HDR images to test. Also PC mode has unadjustable enhancer in game mode), Color Profile=Native (Important for Color accuracy). * Game Mode (You should use Motion Plus Max for 60 Hz 4K) Latency is about +5ms and Motion Clarity is at 120FPS super smooth if your FPS ca keep up between 50-60FPS! (No Freesync, its nor working) * Graphics Card Settings = RGB FULL 8 or 10bit * Calibrate HDR profile on Win 11 Settings: Auto HDR Brightness Slider on 55 = 300 Nits Mid Tones (thanks to your shared information) ;-) Black Level = 0, Max Peak from your TV! (Q70R 1500) regrdless of what you see on calibration screen!, Color 50%(Its raised the HDR Color more than the SDR one!!!. If you not doing this, SDR has way more Color Pop than HDR.... = Perfect Blacks on Auto HDR, Highlight are Poping like Oled, SDR is even Great - like to Switch HDR of with Brightness =0 and Standard Settings. >>> Solution for Games with Black Level Raise: * Play on Auto HDR * or Limit Black Level on TV to Low - only for that Game (Note, the Max Peak slider in the game must be set at about 200 Peak less than before. From my point of view, this is the better alternative for the Samsung. Samsung has no Option for HGIG, and Trim the Max Peak Brightness to 800 Nits is to Flat on it. On 1500 (Max Peak Brightness, Highlights are really Pop) I try for 4 Years to become a better Calibration. With your Help this has become Posible now. Thanks Plasma TV for Gaming!!!! 👏👍

To fix the black crushing use a near black test pattern and use the Samsung 20 points calibration. Increase Red Green Blue from the lowest IRE to 30% in a > way. Example 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

[@perryphillipsde7551]

@@plasmatvforgaming9648 Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately only 2-point calibration is possible in game mode. And outside the game mode, i have no motion pro and a latency of about 75ms! Game mode with motion has 21ms with game motion plus on 60Hz Max with HDMI 2.0! (Samsungs game mode highlight!) I have all Option testet before i came to my new settings. The most perfect settings i ever have seen on this TV. As I said, none of this would have been possible without your information. Even if the profile is not a good solution for Samsung, it helps to understand and compare how black levels and highlights should look and work. Thanks! BTW, I have many test patterns from your google drive downloaded months before. 👍 And i use hdr pictures from refernence hdr movies out ther, to see black or highlight and even color crashing. Such a color profile with Max CLL 1500 Nits and Black Level 0.05 would be a dream. Then you would only need to set the brightness to 0 and would probably have less effort and would be even a tad better. At the moment the Black Level difference compared to the profile would be about -2, i.e. brightness -7 (unfortunately only possible up to -5). But it remains after long comparisons the better choice in the totality of contrast, highlights, pop and black levels. Alternative would still be: Brightness -2 HDMI Black Level - low, then you would be at about -7 (same result as in the Color Profile). Then you would have to slightly increase the Black Level in the HDR app and set the Max CLL to 1250 nits. That also works. Perfect HDR & SDR Black Level. But the highlights are then not quite perfect, since they do not bleed through the lowering. But the information of the area around the highlights is omitted (only with HDR) and not transmitted. The graphics card sends them Full, but the TV cannot receive them with Low. With SDR there is no problem, because it doesn't need maximum bandwidth inside the HDR container anyway, as you know. Too bad. Samsung Profile Please - Yea 🙂

[@plasmatvforgaming9648]

You can use Reshade to fix the near black visibility then

[@perryphillipsde7551]

@@plasmatvforgaming9648In some games it works, in others it doesn't (many I play as a sim racer and open world fan, like Wildlands etc.) and unfortunately it remains only a workaround, since a lot of tinkering is necessary. In addition to my settings suggestions but at least a possibility for bad black level raise games. What we should also not forget. HDR means highlights in bright and in dark areas. The human eye sees better the differences in the lower area. Since a lot of people like to cheat to see opponents better in the dark, some developers probably think, hey, let's focus on the cheaters and let it really HDR pop on the botttom. What they forget. Most of TV and monitor manufacturers have black level enhancers for this community. But the opposite... And, its allways only a compromise. We have only about 70-90% of PCI3 and 40-50% 2020 Colors aviable. It can at this time never near perfect. The question is only: is it a good compromise or a bad one. Let us help make best one way ones for all without headache ;-) To say it with your forgotten words: I love my tv now with my new settings (through your help!) and accept the imperfection on a few games at the lower end.

So my AW3423DW has HDR 400 and HDR 1000, I use HDR 400 for most bright games because at 1000 ABL kicks in, I only use HDR 1000 for dark games. Anyway, I downloaded the custom preset sRGB to gamma2.2 but in CRU it doesn't change because I have windows insider, I tried all other profiles to try to get 400 nits but all of them showing 800 nits. While the custom profile shows 240 nits. In your opinion should I just use any of the 800 nits profiles or should I use 240 nits/custom profile? I would assume its safe to use the 800 nits if I am using HDR 1000 mode, but if HDR 400 I should use 240 instead since 800 would just wash everything out

[@plasmatvforgaming9648]

That's a known issue with the insider program. I would always use the 1000 nits profile. The 800 profile should work well. ABL is also present on the HDR 400 as these QDOLEDs can't do 400 nits full screen.

Worth noting the peak brightness doesn't only matter in AutoHDR. Certain games like Jedi Survivor use the Windows calibration to set peak brightness also.

@@plasmatvforgaming9648 the in-game brightness slider doesn't seem to increase peak nits over the windows calibration in Jedi Survivor it just adjusts the PQ curve, brightening the midtones and messing the image.

Had to install mods to even out stutters and play at 1440p dlss performance just to get 60fps on my 3070 (yet somehow EA expect to port it to the PS4 lol). Then I've had to use Prod80's Contrastcorrect Reshade shader to dynamically fix the black levels (check out that shader if you haven't it adjust black levels on a scene by scene basis perfect for this game). And then finally having to exploit a glitch in windows sound management just to get surround sound working on my old Dolby Digital Reciever as the game only supports Atmos, even though every other game can output DDlive5.1 or 5.1PCM no problem it's literally a core feature of UE4.

[@NeonPizza80s]

Totally random, but do you think Blu-rays displayed at 1080p will look good on lets say a 77" S90C? Or will it look soft and upscaled? I plan on getting the retrotink4K since it uses dual strobe BFI to get motion persistence down to 6.94ms on a 144hz OLED like the S90C @24 & 30fps movies/TV series, but unfortunately RT4K doesn't do it at 4K, instead it's limited to 1080p. Kind of a bummer, because now i'm thinking it's most likely a better idea to fall back to 65". Can't imagine 1080p looking too hot 12" larger on a 77", not only because of the size increase but also the upscaling that's involved. For gaming however, a PC(+ RTX4090) driving nearly everything I can 144fps + 1440p - 4K would be fantastic. You could always just max sharpness and mess with super resolution settings if games can't hit native 4K at 77"

[@plasmatvforgaming9648]

The bigger screen size will make everything better, not worse. 1080p 24fps doesn't look great anywhere. The S90C 77 would be the best QDOLED choice imo

[@NeonPizza80s]

@@plasmatvforgaming9648 I always assumed that 1080p would not look as good being upscaled to 4K compared to a native 1080p display. Yet i've heard some people say that 1080p actually upscales perfectly into 4K. Regardless, at 77", you would still need 4K for the clearest picture possible, otherwise for 1080p you'd have to sit farther back. I was told that a future Retrotink4K model that does dual strobe BFI for 24/30fps content 'at' 4K would cost twice as much as the current model being released by the end of this year. :P it might not come to fruition for another 5 years apparently. Plus, Switch 2 might be coming out next year, and it should at least support 1440p, which makes going 77" even more alluring.

So I have an original version Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor which has been great, but sucks at HDR. DxDiag lists Min Luminance=0.030000 Max Luminance=1000 Max Full Frame Luminance=400 and Windows 11 Advanced Display lists 340 Nits. Been trying to get a grasp on the correct numbers to enter into the CRU HDR Static Metadata EBlock to achieve the right Peak Brightness without much luck. Am I missing something obvious?

[@plasmatvforgaming9648]

The actual peak brightness of the display is irrelevant for HDR settings, all that matters is the clipping point. Open some HDR Test patterns to test where it clips (logo dissappears). Open the HDR Calibration app and see where's the clipping point and go to display settings after the HDR calibration app creates the profile to see the brightness in nits instead of the weird HDR Calibration app scale (which doesn't match nits). That's the number you want to use. Just double check with multiple test patterns in case that the monitor is changing the tone mapping curve depending on the Metadata

Also found that I had to set the HDR brightness to 620/630 nits in game menu to prevent the game from exceeding 800 nits when exiting the menu according to the HDR analysis tool.

Does this affect games with native HDR at all or is it only auto HDR? Even watching your SDR video in Windows HDR mode there's a difference between toggling the new profile and normal. This seems to be the case watching HDR movies on mpv too, and I am not sure what's happening. Edit: The github for the profiles say this: "The caveat with this solution is that all content takes on the same transformation, including native HDR10 implementations, which don't need it; such content will see slightly darker shadows, potentially crushing shadow detail. You can either disable the color profile when viewing native HDR content, or just live with the slight boost in contrast for the sake of convenience." I'm guessing we should disable this profile whenever we are not using autoHDR? Like if we're using that other majorpainthecactus reshade addon method

Auto HDR will allow you to use HGIG because the Maxcll can be 800, the SDR HDR trick uses tone mapping to push the brightness when the Maxcll is below 800. Try Dynamic tone mapping with the SDR HDR trick for OLED Motion

@@plasmatvforgaming9648 Thank you!! Will try!

Windows HDR Calibration app

Does it work for Windows 10 ?

[@TomTucker-db9zm]

Doubtful. If you're using ANYTHING HDR, use Windows 11. Full Stop. Windows 10 does not get HDR improvements and never will.

[@plasmatvforgaming9648]

I don't believe so because the CRU can't change the Peak Brightness. But, give it a try and let me know

[@victorfit_x]

So with this method we don’t need sdr trick anymore ?

[@plasmatvforgaming9648]

Not all games support AutoHDR, the SDR HDR trick is no longer necessary because we fixed SDR content on Win11 on this video

I will update SDR HDR trick for BFI

@@plasmatvforgaming9648 I applied this color profile but on black calibration pattern I see more than 8 columns.

[@plasmatvforgaming9648]

All columns should be visible. The reason I needed to crush more was to fix th me Gamma, that's no longer necessary. Also my explanation of Limited inside Full and all of that was wrong. The problem was piercewised sRGB force over 2.2

[@BrotherO4]

Window HDR calibrations on the store also fixes the issue by settings the peak brightness, 0 nit, and color tone, and thus a better autoHDR use.

[@plasmatvforgaming9648]

It doesn't work right for the majority of the games, that's why I'm making this video, you need the ICC profile I shared instead

not working on Dell S2721DGFA

[@plasmatvforgaming9648]

If the display is HDR, it should work regardless of the specific one you have. Remember to add it as an advanced color profile

[@TheDarklig]

@@plasmatvforgaming9648 HDR 400, adding as advanced, but in some games and programs screen getting washed, seems like it's automatically by windows

[@johnlavette9471]

Every time you post a revelatory vid, (which is every vid lol!) about ways to get HDR to actually function as HDR I can't help but wonder why the f*** the big monitor/game/microsoft/gpu companies haven't managed to figure out that they should probably make HDR function properly. I mean, the first entity to actually deliver real, honest to god functional HDR probably stands to make some cheese, no?
