Grounded - HDR Optimized Settings (Patreon)

The game is NOT using/applying Xbox HDR Calibration app settings.

--> IMPORTANT UPDATE <--

After the PS release, the game now does NOT support HDR anymore both on PS, Xbox and PC version of the game.

You read it right: the game is only in SDR right now...

This is the first time something like this happened so let's hope the devs will fix it soon everywhere. If and when they will, the below settings should still work (on paper at least)

The game has a really good HDR implementation by offering an actual Peak HDR Luminance slider in nits value which can go up to 4.000 nits, along with additional HDR controls.

If you have an LG OLED and:

> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:

• Set HDR Max Brightness slider to: 4.000 (nits; Max);

> you're using HGIG:

• Set HDR Max Brightness slider to: 800 (nits) or 1.000 (for G2) or 1.500 (for G3)

If you don't have an LG OLED and:

> you don't have an HGIG option:

• Leave HDR Max Brightness slider to: 1.000 (nits);

> you're using HGIG:

• Set HDR Max Brightness slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits".

In any case, leave "Contrast", "Max UI Luminance" and "UI Contrast" sliders to their Default values as they already provide a balanced exposure/gamma both of UI and in-game.
