If you tap LT,RT,RB, and LB at the same time it will show you the nits for each screen. They appear in the top right corner. Do this starting with the black checkerboard screen.
Yea don't worry about silly criticisms, your viewers which appreciate your content weren't concerned with length. I can tell you're rushing in this vid! Hampers quality, and the jokes
This video saved me! Endlessly tweaking the HDR sliders for months never feeling like I had a quite right because I always kept the black levels to where you can just see this checkered pattern and then this video schools us on how we’re not getting the true black I copied the settings exactly and the HDR on both my Xbox and PlayStation look completely fantastic thank you so much
Yes, my games (xbox sX)were looking dim and just didn't look right. But after this video showed how to properly calibrate hdr, games like elden ring look awesome.
I swear Vincent is the 2020 mvp! Next you should definitely add in.. In game hdr sliders and how these settings will effect the hdr in game as well. ✌🏻
Please don't try to shorten these videos. You make amazing content and it needs to be fully experienced. Keep up the awesome work. I got an LG C1 thanks to you and am enjoying all the videos you post about gaming and picture settings. I'd appreciate if you can one day try to do a sound settings video because I will not be using a soundbar for a while but I'd love to know what sound options would sound the best for which kind of content.
After recalibrating my xbox with these video tips I must say the hdr looks much cleaner now. Didn't realize that first setting should be set to the bottom to get the deepest blacks. Really wonder why they even give that option if ideally everyone would set it to 0. At any rate many thanx for this video Vincent, you're the man! 👊🏻✌🏻
Hi Vincent, always love your videos. For those who complaints that some videos were too long, can I suggest the following. Keep doing as is with full explanations. What you can do to make it easier for those who will blindly rely on what you say, you could at the beginning or within the intro text below the video, just state at 2:35 Blah setting, 10:34 Blah blah setting and 17:30 blah blah blah setting or 1:23:45 recommendation of blah. Then people can just jump ahead and you have satisfied all. My guess. But I don't know if that impacts your video algorithm negatively.
I just watched a bunch of your videos regarding Xbox Series X & LG CX 48... everything is all setup now and I can am thrilled to have a basic understanding of WHY i made those settings. Don’t shorten anything, I like the explanations & examples you make.
Vincent if I can offer you my humble opinion. I appreciate that some people will just want a quick video saying "Do this, then do that, and then you are done". However, for me, I really do appreciate the amount of time that you put into your videos and I enjoy the level of detail that you go into. As you correctly say, you are an expert at these things and also a professional and you like to explain the thinking behind your decisions and guidance rather than just tell us what to do and I believe this is really valuable, and such a good thing that you are willing to take time to share your expertise. So a genuine thank you from me. Keep up the amazing work my friend and keep doing what you do. 🙌
I appreciate your explanations. I want to know the details so I learn myself. (21 is the limit of appendages that I can count with... hilarious!) Love it!
I watched the playstation video as well. I really liked the explanations. They were very clear, and helped me understand how/why you set things up the way you did. Was hoping you put a similar video for xbox, and here it is!
This is why I follow you Vincent. It’s like you’re in my head and posting content just for me. I have an X1X and an LG CX and also black ops Cold War. I wish my girlfriend was as intuitive to my needs as you are. Ding 🔔
Please don't cut down the length of your videos for these plebs. Your videos are very informative and thorough, and I wouldn't want them any other way.
Yessssssss! I asked for this yesterday and today there’s a video on codcw... don’t listen to these fools. Many of us want to know why and learn. Thank you! H8ers gonna hate take all the time you need brotha.
Amazing job again. I do not mind your videos being long. Take as much time as you need. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping us make the most out of our screens.
V you are a legend✌️👍🙌 I like that you giving us the best settings for the upcoming video games on both consoles Your talents is truly admired from your fan base Keep up the excellent work
What I found out (testing with rocket league) . If you input your Max luminance above your displays capabilities (or hgig level). Dynamic tone mapping will actually show the highlights without much clipping but the tv will dim the rest of the scene making the highlights "appear" brighter in comparison. And switching back to hgig will then brighten the image back up also crushing the highlights. So setting a value above your displays peak brightness will result in darker overall images when using Dynamic tone mapping.
Dont apologize some of us actually listen to your science and explanation. Thanks so much i keep playing with settings now i have a Serious X now I see you adjusting the correct way. Thanks for letting me know about the RGB range im going to full I love the deep blacks. Cheers
I appreciate the effort and the length, but you can keep the others happy by just stating the values at the beginning then explaining why in the rest of the video.That way people can leave if they have what they need.
Holy man buddy. You are pretty much the man. I love you guy. Been playing Cyberpunk on Series X for a week and have been so frustrated with the HDR it was so washed out. And was killing my immersion. I found myself constantly trying to adjust tv/in game HDR settings. Just followed your guide, and omg. What have I been been missing all these years! Even with the One X!!! I remember playing Red Dead and even Farcry all washed out. You sir, are a savior. Subscribed!
Cyberpunk doesn't use the information from the consoles hdr calibration so doing this wouldn't affect cyberpunk or any of the games you mentioned at all lmao. All those games have an in game hdr calibration to do.
@@rileymurphy3742 It made it look better, simple as that. You can think and say whatever you want. But bottom line, it made it look better and made my experience better. I’ll take my observations over some person that commented on my RUclips comment. ; )
@@Bullshratnull lol enjoy being ignorant I guess. It literally didn't change anything since cyber punk uses its own in game settings which is a fact so you just imagined it. Why do you think he used cold war in this video ? It's because it actually uses the xbox HDR calibration info which is why he said this is a fix for cold war specifically and not just all HDR games. Very few games utilize this HDR calibration information yet, cold war is one of the only ones, you can tell if a game is using it by looking at its settings. If it has HDR calibration settings then it uses those and not the ones in the xbox settings. Enjoy living in a fantasy though clown.
@@rileymurphy3742 someone’s awful defensive…It’ll be okay little buddy. Just relax, take a breath. You’ll be okay. Take it somewhere else. You don’t have to worry about me…
So, do in-game HDR calibration options always override the internal Xbox HDR calibration settings? Or for they compliment each other? Or is it unique to individual games?
As GamingTech says.. if there's an in-game HDR calibration (as opposed to system level like this or PS4/PS5's calibration), then the in-game is prioritized. It would be stupid to apply it twice.
Thanks for the video, I had set it up same apart from the first calibration near black pattern, I will re calibrate it based on your info, oh and I like your long detailed videos.
I’ve looked everywhere and tried almost everything to make my cheap HDR10 TV look at least decent because it would always look really grayed out, washed out and dark no matter what I tried but this made my TV look way better not the best since it’s a cheaper TV but compared to everything I’ve tried this was the best thank you
The more we all know and learn the better we can understand, ignore the hate Vincent, to me, you ain’t ever put a non important or informative video out..end of. You’re a legend n I thought I knew a lot, but as it’s your job it’s always best to learn from a pro, I’ve been a chef for 29+ years, so every day no matter how long I have been a chef is a learning day.. Keep on keeping on 🙏🏼
People just got used to subjective, non-scientific approach of tv reviews on RUclips. So, again, don’t bother. We all appreciate your level of details and numbers-backed up in-depth reviews. It’s awesome to have a channel with objective reviews, where we can grab all possible information in one video. The level of details it’s what make this channel unique. As a solution for this, I recommend you to start another channel, where you can post short guides 5-minutes long and have this channel with all in-depth coverage. Thank you for your videos, we appreciate that you share your knowledge👍
Hdr is broken its pants complicated all the dicks taht hail for it are blind to see it hdr is right now is a gimmick 2030 may start seeing hdr being less of a gimmick amd more of oh yea finally hopefully full dynamic range happens
Vincent thanks again. after watching this video, a few others and recalibrating my tv based on your suggestions the picture quality is so much better. Much more detail and better colors when gaming. I have an LG nano cell and was surprised it hard clips at only 500 nits will be getting the LG C1 👍
Xbox HDR cal app and Hgig games are even more broken than on PS. It switches to 60Hz mode from 120Hz. Why? Calibrating with Hgig -result: Warzone, CW nearly no difference between DTM off vs HGIG. Maybe my C9 is broken. But with hgig on most games would look dark, with lesser nits, harder to see darker areas.
Same here with my C9. On the CW map Miami with HGiG on and calibrated, I have trouble seeing enemies across the map but when I switch to DTM I can see them much better. Valhalla also looks really dim and dull with HGiG but DTM makes it brighter and colors pop more (I know it’s not an HGiG game but Vincent said to use HGiG for it). It sucks because I want my HDR to be accurate. Maybe it’s because of the low screen brightness that the C9 and CX have.
@@ThatAccumulatorMiami is a night time map mate, it's meant to be dark. HGIG is fantastic on Cold War, using a C9 myself. Using DTM on that game won't be accurate, but it will give you a slight competitive advantage and it makes enemies easier to see.
I've been back and fourth between the 2 on my c9 and leave HGig off makes some games and parts of it so dark I can't even see my character!!! Even calibrated. I leave tone mapping on.
Hmm. If you are sure your TV can only tonemap hdr. My suggestion would be to count the amount of clicks with Vincent's information to hit the brightness your tv can display. Because with dynamic tone mapping it will start clipping much later(too late actually)
@HDTVTest Question: If my display doesn't support dynamic tone mapping or HGIG, how should I calibrate my display? Should I still set minimum luminance to the lowest? Should I still go with the console instructions? Thanks for any help.
Don't have HGIG etc. and just set it that way. Worked quite well and everything looks great. Black to the lowest and the white ones to the level where everything disappears.
@@wackswax8423 yeah, it does. I have heard it's just a bug around this channel. BLOPS Cold War is great in 120, Modern Warfare has it too, just not as smooth. There was a noticeable improvement in K/D ratios, unless up against PC players or higher skilled. Hard to go back to 60 fps in a competitive fps now.
Landon Wiebe so I have had no issues w my series x yet. Played my first WZ game in 4k120 (which really is closer to 4k/90) and I won lol! I have not done any crazy setting changes either on the lg cx. It works fine. Did notice when parachuting to ground the guys would kinda get that Stop motion look for a second like they weren’t just free falling but falling then catching for a moment if that makes sense. Haven’t tried Cold War yet since everyone was saying it bricked their console. Now starting to think a lot of idiots out there don’t know what they’re doing. Have you made major setting changes to your cx? If so do you find you’re annoyed in having to change settings for 4k120 then change back to 4k60 for the games that don’t support?
@@wackswax8423 one issue I've tweeted XboxSupport about is my controller freezes up sometimes multiple times a day, only in dashboard. I have to pull battery and hard power down the Series X. Yeah what you are experiencing is the wide variation in frames, VRR helps but not as well for the big fluctuations. Cold War has crashed to dashboard twice after the update, with Ray Tracing on, which scared me. Keep it off now, no problems with 120hz enabled. Actually sometimes 120 hz is disabled with it enabled on console, the fix is too hold down controller button like you want to turn it off, then you back out and 120hz will be enabled in Cold War graphics menu. I got my LG CX settings from Rtings and Vincent for the most part. Follow Rtings instructions for SDR using the ISF Dark Room settings, follow Vincents instructions for HDR. I also turned the white balance to 0, 8, 7 to get rid of that slight pink tint in whites, I got that from NinjicianAV.
Use the ISFExpert Dark Room you find on Rtings settings on the standard Game Mode as well. Use Cinema Mode when watching HDR Content. I leave the HDR specific settings default, except for any weird motion smoothing or noise reduction. All modes SDR and HDR I use the 0,8,7 white balance settings. A professional calibrator can be hired at a later time to get more in depth, because every panel varies a bit when going deeper.
Your the man Vincent keep up your awesome work by watching this video I truly see the Series X graphical power just need to be calibrated correctly!👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you for this Vincent, I knew something was off but never realised it was the HDR Calibration causing it. Does anyone else’s HDR calibration app seem to reset after a reboot? If I load the app following a reboot the levels have reset, but not sure if it only happened because I reopened it, or whether it’s just not saving then correctly.
Thank you Vincent for your explanations (I'm three years late but the content is still very helpful). I prefer to understand the reasoning on what adjustments do versus just where to put them. Like the annoying equipment instructions that say "move the slider to the left to increase the value and to the right to decrease the value" without any clue as to what the h@$$ changing the values do.
I appreciate the effort and explanation in your videos, so keep doing what you're doing in my opinion. If people want to the relevant parts faster, maybe the vids could be time stamped in the description for them?
Very useful as always Vincent. Any chance you could provide optimal settings within Destiny 2? I just got an HDR1000 monitor and set everything on the console as you did. D2 has its own in-game HDR settings that slightly confuse using verbiage such as "adjust until X image is barely visible", but when I do that the game feels so dark I can't see anything, so I'm thinking my interpretation of "barely" is not what they intend. Would be nice to have your expert opinion.
The big question i have: will we have to change these settings on some game by game basis? Or is this a good recommendation for the console in general?
@@catherine_england7312 well its an improvement over the settings i set after reading the instructions on the ps5 the blacks are definitely deeper (very close to oled) and the level of detail is still amazing. Give it a shot if you have a QLED
@hdtvtest Could you do another video discussing HGIG and how other TV brands might be able to get a similar end result? If HGIG is simply an LG quick shortcut to disable the TV's tonemapping and ensure game mode is enabled - is that the case? If so, is this same end result possible for other brand TV's like Panasonic and Sony? For example, on my Panasonic FZ802 I use the accurate Professional 1 preset and I have game mode enabled. I have also recently changed the FZ802's HDMI HDR Setting from Dynamic to Static. Do you know if I am now getting the same benefits as LG's HGIG mode? Would love to hear your insight on how other TV's might be able to get similar results to HGIG. If not possible, would still appreciate knowing what TV settings you would recommend. Cheers.
So for the Minimum Luminance I should ignore the instructions of making it so I can barely make out the checkerboard patterns and simply make it all black. Like all the way?
Never mind the people saying the videos are too long. I wish they were longer! Do you think the HDR values in the menu are the same on the Xbox One and PS4 as they are on the next gen consoles? I wouldn't mind a video where you slowly click through each measurement so that we have an idea of where to cap it for our peak brightness. For us that cannot disable tone mapping, do you think it would be best to cap maximum luminance at the TV's peak HDR brightness or to follow the instructions on screen? Thank you for all the info, Vincent!
These videos are confusing me. 😟 What about if we don't have a. HGIG display and what about games that are not HGIG? How do we set these tools then? What about TVs where you cannot turn dynamic tone mapping off? And what about in game sliders, do we clip them too? 🙄
@@ToxMod Not true. Some TVs have dynamic tone mapping and there is no industry standard for tone mapping so all manufacturers make their own versions. Dynamic tone mapping is unpredictable and can do funny stuff. Some TVs you can switch it off and some you can't. Some game modes destroy the image as well. There are all kinds of things.
OK so HGIG when Set to on is now letting your source device such as 4k player or game console, do the tone mapping for the TV instead of the other way around. so if you don’t have hgig Basically your TV is doing all the tone mapping. My tv doesn’t have HGIG either but it’s a Sony an Sony has some of the best tone mapping and motion processor in the market. Its why a lot of people are getting the Sony x900 For next GEN consoles
Keep up the good work if you do longer videos just add time stamps and the ppl can get there quick and us others who love your tech knowledge can hang out and listen
If you tap LT,RT,RB, and LB at the same time it will show you the nits for each screen. They appear in the top right corner. Do this starting with the black checkerboard screen.

I think it's better if it's just plug and play. It's ridicolous that we have to adjust the settings of our beautifull consoles .

Yeah its confusing, you would hope this calibration screens helps all hdr games but I dont know

Vincent thanks again. after watching this video, a few others and recalibrating my tv based on your suggestions the picture quality is so much better. Much more detail and better colors when gaming. I have an LG nano cell and was surprised it hard clips at only 500 nits will be getting the LG C1 👍
Xbox HDR cal app and Hgig games are even more broken than on PS. It switches to 60Hz mode from 120Hz. Why? Calibrating with Hgig -result: Warzone, CW nearly no difference between DTM off vs HGIG. Maybe my C9 is broken. But with hgig on most games would look dark, with lesser nits, harder to see darker areas.
Same here with my C9. On the CW map Miami with HGiG on and calibrated, I have trouble seeing enemies across the map but when I switch to DTM I can see them much better. Valhalla also looks really dim and dull with HGiG but DTM makes it brighter and colors pop more (I know it’s not an HGiG game but Vincent said to use HGiG for it). It sucks because I want my HDR to be accurate. Maybe it’s because of the low screen brightness that the C9 and CX have.
@@ThatAccumulatorMiami is a night time map mate, it's meant to be dark. HGIG is fantastic on Cold War, using a C9 myself. Using DTM on that game won't be accurate, but it will give you a slight competitive advantage and it makes enemies easier to see.
I've been back and fourth between the 2 on my c9 and leave HGig off makes some games and parts of it so dark I can't even see my character!!! Even calibrated. I leave tone mapping on.
Thank you Vincent my Series S coming Today! :)
Fantastic, I have been waiting for this after the PS5 version. :)
Should i still be hard clipping if my tv doesn’t have HGIG?
Yes. Just follow the on-screen instructions.
@@MrJekyll17 How do you know? Do you actually know like Vincent does or are you just saying even though you don't know? Lol
Hmm. If you are sure your TV can only tonemap hdr. My suggestion would be to count the amount of clicks with Vincent's information to hit the brightness your tv can display.
Because with dynamic tone mapping it will start clipping much later(too late actually)
You are amazing. Dont listen to trolls. Your informative videos are my go to. Subbed and liked. Keep up the amazing work. We all love you 😁
@HDTVTest Question: If my display doesn't support dynamic tone mapping or HGIG, how should I calibrate my display? Should I still set minimum luminance to the lowest? Should I still go with the console instructions? Thanks for any help.
Don't have HGIG etc. and just set it that way. Worked quite well and everything looks great. Black to the lowest and the white ones to the level where everything disappears.
Getting my Xbox Series X today, can't wait to try this and play Modern Warfare in 120hz mode, on LG CX!
Does yours say 5.5hz instead of listing as FPS ?
@@wackswax8423 yeah, it does. I have heard it's just a bug around this channel. BLOPS Cold War is great in 120, Modern Warfare has it too, just not as smooth. There was a noticeable improvement in K/D ratios, unless up against PC players or higher skilled. Hard to go back to 60 fps in a competitive fps now.
Landon Wiebe so I have had no issues w my series x yet. Played my first WZ game in 4k120 (which really is closer to 4k/90) and I won lol! I have not done any crazy setting changes either on the lg cx. It works fine. Did notice when parachuting to ground the guys would kinda get that Stop motion look for a second like they weren’t just free falling but falling then catching for a moment if that makes sense. Haven’t tried Cold War yet since everyone was saying it bricked their console. Now starting to think a lot of idiots out there don’t know what they’re doing. Have you made major setting changes to your cx? If so do you find you’re annoyed in having to change settings for 4k120 then change back to 4k60 for the games that don’t support?
@@wackswax8423 one issue I've tweeted XboxSupport about is my controller freezes up sometimes multiple times a day, only in dashboard. I have to pull battery and hard power down the Series X. Yeah what you are experiencing is the wide variation in frames, VRR helps but not as well for the big fluctuations. Cold War has crashed to dashboard twice after the update, with Ray Tracing on, which scared me. Keep it off now, no problems with 120hz enabled. Actually sometimes 120 hz is disabled with it enabled on console, the fix is too hold down controller button like you want to turn it off, then you back out and 120hz will be enabled in Cold War graphics menu. I got my LG CX settings from Rtings and Vincent for the most part. Follow Rtings instructions for SDR using the ISF Dark Room settings, follow Vincents instructions for HDR. I also turned the white balance to 0, 8, 7 to get rid of that slight pink tint in whites, I got that from NinjicianAV.
Use the ISFExpert Dark Room you find on Rtings settings on the standard Game Mode as well. Use Cinema Mode when watching HDR Content. I leave the HDR specific settings default, except for any weird motion smoothing or noise reduction. All modes SDR and HDR I use the 0,8,7 white balance settings. A professional calibrator can be hired at a later time to get more in depth, because every panel varies a bit when going deeper.
Thank you so much for this useful video! Very educational. Nothing beats the creators intent.
You're videos are very informative and knowledgeable. Yiu expanded my knowledge.
Your the man Vincent keep up your awesome work by watching this video I truly see the Series X graphical power just need to be calibrated correctly!👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you for this Vincent, I knew something was off but never realised it was the HDR Calibration causing it.
Does anyone else’s HDR calibration app seem to reset after a reboot? If I load the app following a reboot the levels have reset, but not sure if it only happened because I reopened it, or whether it’s just not saving then correctly.
Yes! It's really annoying me.
Thank you Vincent for your explanations (I'm three years late but the content is still very helpful). I prefer to understand the reasoning on what adjustments do versus just where to put them. Like the annoying equipment instructions that say "move the slider to the left to increase the value and to the right to decrease the value" without any clue as to what the h@$$ changing the values do.
Thanks for the video, also thank you for explaining everything!
I appreciate the effort and explanation in your videos, so keep doing what you're doing in my opinion. If people want to the relevant parts faster, maybe the vids could be time stamped in the description for them?
Keep the explanations coming Vince. People with shorter attention spans can go kick rocks.
Very useful as always Vincent. Any chance you could provide optimal settings within Destiny 2? I just got an HDR1000 monitor and set everything on the console as you did. D2 has its own in-game HDR settings that slightly confuse using verbiage such as "adjust until X image is barely visible", but when I do that the game feels so dark I can't see anything, so I'm thinking my interpretation of "barely" is not what they intend. Would be nice to have your expert opinion.
I found a way to make it bigger...ding!
You’re the man dude.
Is this only for OLED tv? Can i try this in my led tv?
The big question i have: will we have to change these settings on some game by game basis? Or is this a good recommendation for the console in general?
Another great video. Thanks Vincent.
Great video man very helpful
Great Video thanks,
i have the qled samsung q90r, but i dont have HGIG :/
what is the optimal setting with tone mapping ?
Tbh his ps5 settings worked perfectly with my Q70R so they’re good
@@KratosKw How do you know they work perfectly and correctly unless you are an expert in the know? Lol
@@catherine_england7312 well its an improvement over the settings i set after reading the instructions on the ps5 the blacks are definitely deeper (very close to oled) and the level of detail is still amazing. Give it a shot if you have a QLED
Keep up the good work! I like the explanations!
@hdtvtest Could you do another video discussing HGIG and how other TV brands might be able to get a similar end result? If HGIG is simply an LG quick shortcut to disable the TV's tonemapping and ensure game mode is enabled - is that the case? If so, is this same end result possible for other brand TV's like Panasonic and Sony? For example, on my Panasonic FZ802 I use the accurate Professional 1 preset and I have game mode enabled. I have also recently changed the FZ802's HDMI HDR Setting from Dynamic to Static. Do you know if I am now getting the same benefits as LG's HGIG mode? Would love to hear your insight on how other TV's might be able to get similar results to HGIG. If not possible, would still appreciate knowing what TV settings you would recommend. Cheers.
So for the Minimum Luminance I should ignore the instructions of making it so I can barely make out the checkerboard patterns and simply make it all black. Like all the way?
Never mind the people saying the videos are too long. I wish they were longer! Do you think the HDR values in the menu are the same on the Xbox One and PS4 as they are on the next gen consoles? I wouldn't mind a video where you slowly click through each measurement so that we have an idea of where to cap it for our peak brightness. For us that cannot disable tone mapping, do you think it would be best to cap maximum luminance at the TV's peak HDR brightness or to follow the instructions on screen? Thank you for all the info, Vincent!
What if you set the 3rd screen to the same values a the second, but the grey boxes don't disappear? Is my TV brightness too low perhaps?
These videos are confusing me. 😟 What about if we don't have a. HGIG display and what about games that are not HGIG? How do we set these tools then? What about TVs where you cannot turn dynamic tone mapping off? And what about in game sliders, do we clip them too? 🙄
Just put your TV on game mode and you’ll be fine
@@ToxMod Not true. Some TVs have dynamic tone mapping and there is no industry standard for tone mapping so all manufacturers make their own versions. Dynamic tone mapping is unpredictable and can do funny stuff. Some TVs you can switch it off and some you can't. Some game modes destroy the image as well. There are all kinds of things.
OK so HGIG when Set to on is now letting your source device such as 4k player or game console, do the tone mapping for the TV instead of the other way around. so if you don’t have hgig Basically your TV is doing all the tone mapping. My tv doesn’t have HGIG either but it’s a Sony an Sony has some of the best tone mapping and motion processor in the market. Its why a lot of people are getting the Sony x900 For next GEN consoles
@@ToxMod So what if you have HGIG. Do you then set the HGIG settings and then also set the game slider settings within the game also? 🤔
@@catherine_england7312 yes
excellent well done. your expertise is appreciated. so is your tact with time and appendage usage.
Are these hdr setting calibrations also good for non hgig compliant games?
If I could say one thing. I do love the length and depth of videos. But maybe having time stamps for each bit you're talking about?
Can you make a mw2 recommended setting?
Keep up the good work if you do longer videos just add time stamps and the ppl can get there quick and us others who love your tech knowledge can hang out and listen
Vincent, what should we do for in-game settings after this? For example, how should we calibrate a game like Resident Evil Village?
