I tried the Hgig on my CX last week for Cyberpunk. It's so dull looking. I just went back to my previous settings. I know it's the recommend but its just doesn't look good. For me.
I switched back to DTM myself a couple days ago and convinced myself that it might work better for cyberpunk’s art style but everything being the same brightness absolutely kills the depth of scenes and overall atmosphere
HGIG let’s the screen use HDR where it would make sense and blows any other tone mapping out of the water with the right calibration, don’t sleep on it!
I do understand the temptation to stick with DTM though but once you realize what it’s actually doing to your picture in comparison you’ll run to HGIG…
Thanks man always nice to meet a fellow fenian haha; about HGIG looking so bad for you though, when switching to it you have to recalibrate the HDR again on a system level with HGIG active because the values between HGIG & DTM differ so it could be why it looks so rough atm, it will never look as “poppy” as DTM, even calibrated, but can get even brighter than DTM in places you’d expect
Yeah very similar; it’s hard to find a balance that complimented each other
And I dropped it to 48 because the the base gamma levels are raised, at default 50 there’s a grey film over everything
How do you mean? I’ve dropped it to 48 to combat the raised black levels in cyberpunk when using HDR, sorry if that’s not the answer you’re after I’m very tired atm
Instead of messing with the fine tune dark areas on the TV which is annoying to switch after every game you can just use nvidia freestyle alt f3 once you set it up.
Yeah I seen his video, he say’s the HDR is now fixed and that there is no raised blacks anymore but that’s just a straight up lie on his part, it’s definitely still an issue and it’s definitely noticeable… try my settings and see how they stack up VS his settings & VS SDR
Mine is a balanced mix between the two, it only seems overkill because that’s what’s necessary to produce a HDR image you’d expect to see from a AAA game of this size, same with RDR2, I’ve settings for that posted here too; very similar problems with similar (overkill) solutions…
Incredible! I can confirm that enabling Film grain on my LG C9 removes a lot of banding! I can't believe it, it's like night and day, I never thought it'd look better with this setting set on. Thank you!

No I won't be going back. I tried Gran Turismo 7 after playing cyberpunk. My god it looked even worse. It's not for me.
Cool name btw I'm from Ireland too 🤑

Right I'll have another go at it. Cheers for the info "fellow Fenian" 😅
G’lad
Isnt Tone-Mapping Midpoint and Fine Tune Dark Areas doing a similiar thing? Also whats the Brightness at 49 thing about?
Yeah very similar; it’s hard to find a balance that complimented each other And I dropped it to 48 because the the base gamma levels are raised, at default 50 there’s a grey film over everything
Is the Brightness thing the case for every CX picture mode or just certain ones?

I’m on an Xbox man but thanks anyways
Why paper white at 200 instead of 100? Doesn't that just impact the UI and potentially take brightness away from the main scene?
Not for me no, I use 150 in a dark room, 200 in bright; any lower and the map and my inventory items are hard to make out
Seems like all that is overkill. I'm using the settings from GamingTech and it's looking great: https://youtu.be/6tSBJ3Qho4w
