XDefiant - HDR Optimized Settings (Patreon)

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 ;)
