Could you make a guide on optimizing the Steam Deck? I think you would do the best job out of everyone online! Thank you!

Hi! I'm aready (partially) covering Switch 2 recommendations in the latest LG OLEDs charts as it seems very similar to PS4/PS4 Pro capabilities HDR wise so suggestions will be really similar. If something will be unique after launch I will cover that too ;)

Samantha Tich

Hi Paolo, love the great work! I’m not sure where to ask this, but how soon after launch will you be able to start covering the Switch 2, since it will now have HDR support? Thanks!

P40L0

Yes, there is the bottom section of each game recommending what to set for other TVs/Monitors other than LG

Elmicha

Are your HDR recommendations also applicable to monitors? More specifically, to mini LED monitors with DisplayHDR 1400?

P40L0

It's SDR only for now :( So just use AutoHDR or RTX HDR on PC

Lewis King

Hoping for some kingdom come deliverance 2 settings soon 🙏

P40L0

These TVs are not monitors and are pre-calibrated from the factory with a 4:4:4 target (which is always Limited) and not Full RGB

Ownsin

Any reason not to use RGB instead of 4:4:4? What's the difference if you don't mind me asking.

P40L0

4:4:4 Limited @ 10-bit Then on the TV use PC Mode/Icon and also enable 4:4:4 Pass Through at the same time and use my latest settings

Ownsin

Apologies, but I have another question. https://i.imgur.com/5r6PFKK.png In the screenshot which output color format should I select for my LG C2 in PC mode? And should the color depth be 10bit or 12bit? Thank you.

P40L0

No, as you will mess up native HDR this way. Stick with my PC Guide.

Ownsin

https://github.com/Animesh-Does-Code/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-ahk Is this needed for my LG C2 PC setup?

P40L0

For G3/G4 settings recommendations didn't change, which you can still find here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/lg-2017-2024-oleds-optimized-settings-for-xbox-one-series-x-s-ps4-ps5-switch-pc-and-webos-movies-sdr-hdr-dv.73304/post-119780799

The Nvidia app is now out of beta and has officially replaced Geforce Experience. I noticed that the RTX HDR setting now defaults to 1,000 nits peak brightness but the slider goes up to 1,500. Middle greys are 50, contrast 0, and Saturation 0. Can you advice me whether to keep this at default or adjust for my LG G4? Thank you

If you watch movies is not recommended as both PC Icon and 4:4:4 will disable many useful Clarity settings for movies as Smooth Gradation, Real Cinema, TruMotion and Super Resolution. Personally I use my PC for everything including gaming with PC Mode + 4:4:4 enabled, but for movies I just switch to webOS apps + Home Theater or Xbox (with PC Mode/4:4:4 disabled and with a properly working ALLM for movies) + Dolby Atmos for Headphones

Ownsin

Hey, you mentioned If I'm using PC that I should use the PC Icon + 4:4:4 Passthrough. But what if I watch movies on my PC? And why isn't it recommended to watch movies on the PC Icon + 444 Passthrough?

P40L0

Yes, I've already updated it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/63787156

Zebra Matt

Will you be able to review the HDR on the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster?

P40L0

I meant movie columns in my chart so: ISF Expert Dark for SDR and HDR Cinema for HDR. DV shouldn't work on PC but if you manage use DV Cinema Home for movies also

Ownsin

Hello, can you please tell me in your oled settings here https://i.imgur.com/8XcbDjU.png. You mentiom that we should use movie picture mode for movies for PC in HDR or SDR. But there is no movies picture mode or webos picture mode for that matter. Did you mean Cinema Home for PC for both SDR and Home?

P40L0

I'll see if I can next week

Ownsin

Hi, will you be covering the HDR on the Monster Hunter: Wilds Beta?

P40L0

It's fake. Game Optimizer is mostly the same (with also Dynamic Color Boosting still disabled there), while it's Filmmaker Mode on G3 that received a +100-150 nits boost on average, making it basically on par of G4 luminance wise now.

nERv

It`s true that the new update (webos24), brings a 300nits amount on G3? i see lot a youtubers that talk about it, that add a boost brightnnes for gaming or is fake news ?

P40L0

No, you can also find the recently updated chart for 2019-2022 OLEDs here: https://i.imgur.com/8XcbDjU.png

Ownsin

Hey, have you stopped doing updates to the settings for the LG C2 Oleds? Your spreadsheet is all about the 2023-2024 Oleds and nothing before.

P40L0

It's worth it and you don't need to change settings after. You can read more here: https://www.avsforum.com/posts/63577377/

WebOS 24 is now available for LG C3. Is it worthwhile to update the OS, or will it ruin calibrations?

P40L0

Yeah, I will have a more in-depth look at that in the near future

Larry Wesby

Are you going to release a an option for dbz when it’s available to you

Larry Wesby

Ok thanks

P40L0

Colors seem ruined with HDR, so I think it's broken right now. Stick with SDR until they patch it

Larry Wesby

Hi. Good morning! What’s the best brightness level for sparkling zero on ps5 with oled g3 tv

P40L0

Unfortunately Space Marine 2 is only SDR... So if you play it on PC just use RTX HDR.

Kevin Landry

We're all proud of you and appreciate your efforts. One question thku8, where's Space Marine 2?🧐😳

Larry Wesby

Okay thanks

P40L0

It's SDR only so leave it at default or lower it a bit (around 25-30) if you want a bit more contrast.

Larry Wesby

What image calibration number to put it on wukong from a oled lg g3 oled (ps5)

VICTOR COIMBRA

To me it’s strange, I have a LG G3 and set everything right, chose Balanced Mode but when I click on my remote button it still shows 60 fps regardless if it’s balanced, quality or performance. I cannot see the 30fps for quality or 45 for balanced.

Victor Luong

Dude, I can't wait! I've appreciated the minutiae of your HDR work about two years and I want to keep up my support! It's helped me extract more from my consoles and my LG B9 OLED

P40L0

For PS5 version: if you have a 120hz TV (possibly with VRR) play it with Balanced Mode (which will be around 1080p internal res upscaled to 4K at around 40-45fps average). If you have a 60hz display, use Performance Mode (Dynamic 1080p which can go down as low as 720p at 60fps) Avoid the Quality/30fps mode...

Adelpha

Thank you so much for your response! I’ve been regularly checking your excellent guides for every game I play, so I had already updated the DLSS .dll files based on your previous recommendations. When the benchmark tool was released, I immediately noticed that setting full ray tracing to "very high" made a big difference. My goal was to achieve smooth FPS with that setting. However, after actually playing the game, I realized I prefer ray tracing set to "medium" while increasing other settings instead. Current Settings: DLSS Render Scale: 50% Frame Generation: On View Distance Quality: Cinematic Anti-Aliasing Quality: Cinematic Post-Effects Quality: Cinematic Shadow Quality: High Texture Quality: Cinematic Visual Effect Quality: Cinematic Hair Quality: High Vegetation Quality: Cinematic Global Illumination Quality: High Reflection Quality: Cinematic Motion Blur: Off Full Ray Tracing: Medium PC Specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D GPU: RTX 4080 Super (mild overclock) RAM: 32GB With these settings, I’m able to maintain around 100 FPS at 4K.

VICTOR COIMBRA

Thank you very much for all the provide info! Do you have any tips for PS5 version?

P40L0

I'm out of town and can't directly test it again until this weekend, but from what I've seen quickly the game is VERY demanding but at the same time Full RT (Path Tracing) is worth it as it fixes most software Lumen artifacts (like noisy shadows, SSR breaking up, vegetation shimmering and more). In my opinion you should first replace DLSS .dll inside the game folder (upgrading from default old 3.1 to newest 3.7.20 and same thing for FG and RR .dlss) then if you game at 4K: lower Render Scale to 50% at max, enable both DLSS Frame Gen and DLSS Ray Reconstruction. If you have anything less performant than a 4080/4090, lower target res from 4K and as graphic preset don't use "Cinematic" globally, but you can lower everything to High and then start to increase the things you care most to Very High at max. Also update your NVIDIA drivers to latest 560.94 (which were released today) with official support for Wukong ;) P.S. The game is also oversharpened in all cases at the moment and there's nothing you can do about it for now.

Adelpha

Thank you for all your work and the quick tip about Wukong! I’ve been regularly checking your Patreon for updates on this game. I was hoping for some settings recommendations since we have pretty similar setups.

P40L0

Yeah, Wukong is a visual showcase but without native HDR it loses a lot... From what I've seen so far it's best to leave it at its default SDR Brightness and just use RTX HDR on PC, but I still hope native HDR will be added at some point in the future
