Hunt: Showdown - HDR Optimized Settings
🕑 Added 2024-09-02 07:39:30 +0000 UTC
The game is NOT using/applying Xbox, Playstation or PC HDR Calibration app settings.
Many of you asked me to analyze the HDR in this game but only after August 2024 update the game got a big engine upgrade which now also includes a native (fairly good) HDR10 implementation.
The game actually provides in-game Peak HDR Luminance control in nits value along with additional HDR sliders as:
Contrast
Exposure
Auto (which when enabled should use system-level settings, but currently it doesn't)
Peak (which doesn't exactly corresponds to in-game nits so you need to add a +100 to match it)
UI
So:
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
Set Peak slider to: 4.100 (which is around 4.000 nits)
> you're using HGIG:
Set Peak slider to: 900 (which is around 800 nits) or 1.100 (for G2/C4) or 1.600 (for G3/G4).
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
Set Peak slider to: 1.100 (which is around 1.000 nits)
> you're using HGIG:
Set Peak slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits" and then add +100 on top of it
In all cases, set:
Contrast: 0.90
Exposure: 1.20
Auto: Off
UI: 200
Enjoy :)

Still broken?

Which settings for LG Oled Monitor ? (LG32GS95)

Nope, it seems not but best to leave it that way if and when it does

Can you confirm if the Auto setting is working as in intended yet?

Be sure SDR Gamma is set to 1 (as it also affects how the HDR game looks) then be sure the game is fully updated and set HDR as suggested. You can change the Peak in nits now

Quick question, the peak brightness doesn't to up to 4.1 and it's not in decimals, it's a while number.... So which settings for a C1? I feel like the contrast is off, crushed blacks
Kevin Landry
Nice! Glad I asked! Thanks man!👏

was patiently waiting for these settings to drop, thank you 😊

Yes! Was hoping you'd do this one. Such a great game.
