Hitman Trilogy - HDR Optimized Settings
🕑 Added 2022-03-17 09:26:24 +0000 UTC
The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation HDR Calibration app settings.
The game has one of the less impressive HDR implementations. Even if it offers an actual Peak HDR Luminance numerical slider (not in "nits") and can go up to 5.000 nits in the HDR settings menu, during gameplay HDR will never exceed 1.200 nits and there are Gamma issues where most of the time the game will result "dim" except for highlights (like the sun) which will look super bright or "torch-like", resulting in an unnatural/unbalanced image.
For this reason it is suggested to use Dynamic Tone Mapping in order improve things a bit or even better to play the game in SDR instead.
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
- Set Max Intensity slider to: 40.00 (which is around 4.000 nits but only in main menu. Game will be 1.200 nits max);
> you're using HGIG:
- Set Max Intensity slider to: 6.00 (which will be around 600 nits in main menu, but the game will be around 800 nits and may still look often very dim) or 9.00 (for G2) or 15 (for G3).
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
- Leave Max Intensity slider to: 9.00 (which will be around 900 nits in main menu, but the game will be around 1.000 nits);
> you're using HGIG:
- Set Max Intensity slider to one of those values and the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits" (in actual gameplay):
In all cases leave Gamma to 1.0 (Default) as it already corresponds to a balanced exposure.

It's all the same, nothing changed...

Has this been fixed, or is 6.00 still the value to use on LG OLED c2? I can still see the "inner box" on 7.70 settings, and not sure if the in-game brightness is still an issue.
