XDefiant - HDR Optimized Settings
🕑 Added 2024-05-24 15:04:19 +0000 UTC
The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation or PC HDR Calibration app settings.
The game has a good HDR implementation as it offers different in-game HDR controls including a Peak HDR Luminance slider (which can go up to 3.000 nits).
Some adjustments are needed for Brightness/Contrast to look good tho.
First of all select HDR10 as HDR type:
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to: 3.000 (nits; Max)
Set HDR Brightness for UI Elements slider to: 200 (nits)
> you're using HGIG:
Set HDR Peak Brightness slider slider to: 800 (nits) or 1.000 (for G2/C4) or 1.500 (for G3/G4)
Set HDR Brightness for UI Elements slider to: 200 (nits) or 276 (for G3/G4)
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
Leave HDR Peak Brightness slider to: 1.000 (nits);
Set HDR Brightness for UI Elements slider to: 200 (nits)
> you're using HGIG:
Set HDR Peak Brightness slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits"
Set HDR Brightness for UI Elements slider to: 200 (nits)
In all cases, set Brightness and Contrast sliders to 17 to improve an otherwise too dim/dark default appearance.
Enjoy ;)

The game. TV and console settings should never be touched again after calibration.
Micahela
On the game? Or tv

VRR will benefit all games (with some exception duly noted here)
Micahela
Also would having vrr enabled benefit in anyway on ps5 :) for this game

Decrease Contrast to your liking

Hello I have a lg c2 using all your settings from your other posts but this game just feels to dark to me? The blacks and shadows and people hidden how can I fix this without messing all the settings up

Ops, no, I just forgot to write that part: set it to 200 nits except for G3/G4 in HGIG (where you should set it to 276 nits) Article updated. Sorry ;)
