HDR can be a great improvement for a game ,if the implementation is well done. And there are games out there that truly benefit from it and I wish this was the case for every game. Or if the implementation is just shit, add a option in-game to disable it, instead of us constantly having to switch it on/off in the system depending on the game.
I'm playing Borderlands 3 now and the HDR is hit and miss at the same time. It hits with fantastic looking explosions and just general special FX. It misses with the black levels, they are raised compared to SDR. So where a lodge in the Hammerlock DLC looks nice and moody with the lights and dark in places where there's no light source with SDR, with HDR it's just overly bright, making a night sky too bright as well.
I have my Xbox Series X calibrated in the HDR calibration thingy app, but I might have set this wrong and maybe someone can tell me if it is. So here we go
TV: LG OLED C9
HDR pic mode : Game
Dynamic tone mapping: HGIG

So in the Minimum luminance part it tells you to adjust image until you can barely make out the checkerboard pattern. However I was told to put this all the way to the left so you don't see a pattern at all. Is this OK?
In the Maximum luminance part I set it to the right until it's just one white box and I stop there. And the same for the second luminance box.
There's absolutely a chance it's just the game , but it's a shame. Too many games still suffer from this.
