Maybe. But at least I am protecting my eyes.
This thread is for people to stealth brag about their TV's. It's ok to play games without "proper" HDR. They're still fun anyway.Games can be fun without HDR.
What? Calibrate the HDR settings to your liking on your tv, problem solved.
I almost always run with HDR off except a very few games anyhowi wish i could turn HDR off. it takes control of my tvs settings. i think its biggest supporters are people who don't know how to set up their tv picture. so it doing it for them is a big difference. i hate it
Do not agree with you in the least, HDR is not only more brightness but a much widder color gamut. Just lower you peak brightness in your HDR settings.Problem isn't solved. I might put the work into calibrating it, sure, but then again, a feature that's so highlighted and marketed to death for years should IMO be a simple on/off feature. Because I didn't have to do anything in the mentioned The Touryst for the game to look absolutely stunning, without hurting my eves from the very 1st second. And even if I would want to put the time and effort to calibrate it, there are still issues that cannot be solved, like poor/cheap HDR implementation in most games. And you can't turn the feature on/off on per title basis mind you, you have to go to the console's settings turn it off, and then go back to the settings and turn it on again. And then the OS itself doesn't support HDR so the console switches back and forth between two modes. For me personally HDR is another 3D, where it's a huge hit and miss because the producers cheap out on it, and in the exact same way you're simply better off sticking with SDR which is 100% guaranteed to always work, always look good.
It takes control of your settings? No, you should have different set of settings and that's all...i wish i could turn HDR off. it takes control of my tvs settings. i think its biggest supporters are people who don't know how to set up their tv picture. so it doing it for them is a big difference. i hate it
Considering one but the room I have my PS5 in gets a lot of light and I heard OLEDs aren't bright enough for that,also the burn in makes me paranoidGot an OLED with ambilight.

Amen. Going from an “hdr ready” Samsung led set to a proper LG OLED was like night and day. Can’t possibly imagine not using HDR anymore.
Good HDR TVs can be expensive, but they really do make a difference. Good HDR is more important than resolution, though any tv with good HDR will be 4K anyway.
No it was created to improve old tv standards that existed for many years and are now very limitative. And to get closer to what we see in real life, we see the full color gamut and bigger range of what is dark and bright. There are millions of shades of grey in the shadows for example, that SDR cannot reproduce. HDR is not only for top brightness, like many of you seems to think.HDR is superfluous gimmick that the industry has chosen to purport as THE THING because right now they're plateauing with 4K so they need something to make people feel the fake need to throw out perfectly good 1080p sets. Yes 4k on it's own is very nice, but HDR isn't needed.
Any setting setup incorrectly can be a bad time. Especially one designed to blow out pictures, it can lead to worse eyestrain because of incorrectly blowing out the wrong things.
I've never seen a TV where HDR takes "control" of the settingsi wish i could turn HDR off. it takes control of my tvs settings. i think its biggest supporters are people who don't know how to set up their tv picture. so it doing it for them is a big difference. i hate it
It depends on the TV. On LG tvs you see a HDR logo popping up, on Samsung you check on your picture information (there's a button on your remote if I am not mistaken). Game mode is not suppose to nullify it. When you check your image settings, it will shift to a new sets of values that you can adjust.Silly question, but how do I know if the HDR settings is on or not? Is it through the tv settings only or is it through the console? And does Game mode nullify it?

yup, games are hit or miss when it comes to HDR. if it's done right it looks great but if not then it might be better to play in SDR.
I'm trying so hard to make this happenRTX 3080 and a LG CX
Xbox lets you view screenshots in HDR or SDR when viewing them on console (at least, for me on XSX using the screenshot button).Whats the best game to simply do an A-B comparison between On and Off?
Now just need to take a good screen shot of some game with really good HDR.Xbox lets you view screenshots in HDR or SDR

I have a Samsung Q70 it does not have Dolby Vision just the standard hdr10. I have a hard time seeing any enhancement to Disney +, Netflix stuff. Games I usually have Game mode on and I think that just makes HDR that much more muted.
DF and HDTVTest both think Crackdown 3 is the best game on Xbox for HDR.Whats the best game to simply do an A-B comparison between On and Off?
I've been playing Forza Horizon 4 on an LG OLED. Even for a last gen game, it seriously pops during the evening and night time. My wife and her parents even commented on how good everything looked. HDR FTW.
It's the 2019 Q70R It's ratings are aboutIs it the Q70T you have?
I believe Xbox One S was the first console outputting HDR.Series s can be in hdr? This is news to me
My TV has 1200 nits
Am I doing it right?

I think it's simply to dark to make a big difference in HDR on. It's just not that much of a Wow factor.
To make a long story short. I am playing my ps5 on a Quantum LED 4k tv set with over 1000 nit brightness. Colors pop and the contrast is amazing. I took my library of games over my buddies house and he is playing on a 4 year old 1080p Samsung. Holy shit the difference is night and day. He doesn't have HDR and games often look flat and bland in comparision. It's equivalent of playing an Xbox 360 on a 480p flatscreen. Food for thought!
Geez, my 2014 65" 1080p Sammy must be garbage then... even though it was probably top of the line (or at least near) the time of purchase.
Ill likely get a OLED within the next 2 years or so though. Maybe ill wait until the 10 year mark in 2024.
Given the state of electronics over the last two decades in actually surprise the Sammy has lasted this long. Only has two main issues which include a tiny cluster of pixels that went out (maybe just film camr off as they always stay white) and occasional Earc issue where it doesnt respond and tv has to be unplugged to reset.
With that, i believe HDR is more important than resolution. Hopefully within the next decade tv manufacturers will have moved on to something else besides resolution as the main focal point. Lets hope 8K is it and will be the holy grail. Dont want console processing power being blown on resolution (assuming consoles as we know it are still around).
No I mean the brightness of the HDR as compared to SDR. Dynamic as you say I never use as it just might as well be Store demo mode for cranking the brightness.I presume by "brightest" you mean in Dynamic picture mode?

I like the Contrast of my Q70R and the picture overall but I do wish it had more features, (missing EARC just plain ole ARC)
