Overwatch 2 - HDR Optimized Settings
🕑 Added 2022-10-06 09:04:20 +0000 UTC
UPDATE:
The game now DOES USE/APPLY Xbox & Playstation HDR Calibration app settings , but only if you allow it through a new in-game option, otherwise you can still switch to the in-game HDR settings.
The game has a fairly good HDR implementation with an actual Peak HDR Luminance slider but not in numerical values (which can go up to around 3.000 nits), along with a Black Point slider and other regular Brightness/Contrast controls.
Click "OPEN CALIBRATION" under the HDR CALIBRATION section to modify the HDR sliders.
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
- Set HDR CALIBRATION Brightness slider to: Max (which is around 3.000 nits);
> you're using HGIG:
- Set HDR CALIBRATION Brightness slider to: +45 Clicks (from leftmost, 0; which is around 800 nits) or 56 (for G2) or 84 (for G3).
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
- Set HDR CALIBRATION Brightness slider to: +56 Clicks (from leftmost, 0; which is around 1.000 nits).
> you're using HGIG:
- Set HDR CALIBRATION Brightness slider to one of those values and the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits":
In all cases, set the HDR Black Point sliders to 0 (leftmost)
Leave "GAMMA CORRECTION" , "CONTRAST" and "BRIGHTNESS" sliders to their Default values as they already represent a balanced exposure/gamma.

Try lowering the peak to 1.000 nits or if it's not enough try HGIG

Just chiming in that I’m having the same problem on PC and LG C1. DTM settings look way too bright/washed out. Not seeing this with other games I’ve used your settings on.

Aww okay, thank you! I mainly play this game on PC and only play it on PS5 here and there, so swapping it to HGiG won’t be a huge deal. If only I could play it in SDR but even that is bugged. I have to turn HDR off in the system settings smh. Thanks again!

Unfortunately this game has a mixed HDR implementation so, yeah, if only for this game you're experiencing super exposed HDR with properly setup DTM you can try to compensate with in-game settings or just stick with HGIG just for this game. Only remember to change back to DTM for all the others (if everything was already setup for it).

Hello! So I have two issues with this game on PS5. First I should say I have an LG C1 and your HGiG settings are perfect . -When I use dynamic tone mapping and I input your settings, it is far too bright. This is unusual since DTM is perfect for the rest of my games when I use your settings. What could be happening here? -When I use the “System Calibration” setting, the picture is completely overexposed and unusable. Again, for other games using the system calibrations with your recommendation settings, it is perfectly fine. Should I just stick with HGiG for this game? It saddens me because I prefer just using DTM for everything.
