Honestly HDR for me I don't like because it's things are too bright and it doesn't look as film and cinematic. I don't feel like it's good for my eyes either
Hi love your video about ps5 content keep up the great work and i hope your channel keep growing 😊❤🎉😊
Thank you! Will do! 🙂
Hi daniel, interesting video as always! May I ask where did you get the calibration patterns at 6:20 so I can test on my TV? Thanks, keep it up💪
Hi thanks, you can download that from discord server, link in the pinned comment
The best video on describing SDR and HDR thank you!!!!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Hey daniel i have the dell G2724d connected to ps5 should i use sdr or hdr it an ips monitor 2.0 with hdr and vrr i mostly play 120hz 1440p mainly call of duty . Thank you for the content
THUMBS UP 👍 GREAT WORK !
Thank you! Cheers!
I started playing Sea of Thieves on Ps5 with my Benq EX2510s, game looks beautiful with Hdr BUT at night its too dark and when I brighten it up, its way too bright at day...I searched the problem up and many others have the same Problem with the game...Should I just turn it off or is there a solution?
I tried the Ps5 Hdr configurations but the Problems stays the same...
Yes. Tuning HDR is really annoying. I spent hours on the Jedi:survivor hdr setting. But in the end, the game’s SDR is my best choice now.😂
Yes it depends on the game really, for example God of war is amazing, but you won't find much in final fantasy or Diablo
my hdmi cannot even enable HDR and I dont think I will buy a sony cable to enable HDR,I feel I wont notice any difference
@@DanielZHalso hdr sucks on warzone too dark
for real bro , i was playing fallen order recently and the lightsaber looked so ass with hdr on but when i turned it off it looked so much better
Nice video :)
Thanks!
Hi Daniel! Great video, appreciate you putting out such content. I have a question: I’m currently using the LG 32GQ950 with my PS5. I play single player games like Spiderman 2, HFW and AC Mirage. May I know if I should enable or disable HDR on the PS5? Thank you!
Hi, as I checked the 32GQ950-B on Rtings (if that's the one you have) even though it has an IPS panel and low contrast, the HDR Brightness is over 2x than SDR, so I'd recommend playing on HDR for the games that look good with HDR, AC Mirage is a bit too dark and might be better on SDR on a monitor, yet you can try and see how it looks on yours.
@@DanielZH thanks Daniel! Appreciate the response 👍🏼
Tengo una lgum7450 de 65 y el hdr se oscurece mucho,mejor juego en sdr?
Atualmente estou jogando em um monitor LG com 400 nits e HDR. Infelizmente, não dá para jogar todos os jogos com HDR ativo pois tem jogos que ficam com uma imagem escura ou desbotada. Consigo jogar sim em HDR no quarto com claridade mas aumentando o brilho do monitor superior a 80. Lógico que prefiro jogar na escuridão, fica bem melhor. Mas no geral, no monitor o SDR é bem melhor.
Final do ano irei comprar minha primeira OLED. Black Friday me aguarda.
Sim, é verdade, às vezes o HDR é melhor mesmo em um monitor IPS, mas assim que você obtiver o OLED, verá o poder real; Eu recomendo ir com LG C2 se você quiser boa qualidade e não gastar muito dinheiro. e se você quiser obter o C2, obtenha o 55" ou superior, é mais brilhante que os modelos menores.
Hi Daniel how are you? I have a short question for you please. I have a Samsung Odyssey G7 monitor and a ps5. Should I turn on the HDR or not? If so what would be the HDR setting? If not, it will be SDR. Thank you Daniel.
Hi, G7 has a VA panel with average Native contrast of 3000:1, 3 times better than IPS, as I checked Rtings, the performance is very similar in brightness, you can use HDR as long as the game has a good HDR output, and for Calibration, check HDR part of this video:ruclips.net/video/0eC3bfQPzgU/видео.html
@@DanielZH Thank you for answering me, that's really cool. I'm going to watch your video with pleasure.👍
Hi Daniel, I own an ASUS VG27AQL1A and mainly play single-player games like God of War, Spider-Man 2, and HFW. While I prefer the colors in SDR, I'm unsure whether to keep HDR enabled due to its higher brightness. Based on RTINGS my monitor has a low contrast ratio, terrible local dimming and is YUV422 in 1440p 120hz with HDR, so should I just keep the HDR off? Thanks.
Hi, Personally, as the panel is IPS and there's not much of a difference, I'd go with SDR, and the games you mentioned look great on SDR RGB, most monitors are also inaccurate when using PS5 and 120Hz HDR (RGB Range locks to Limited) and overall, in my opinion, SDR is a better choice and use Rtings Color settings to get an accurate output, but HDR can get about 100nits brighter on this monitor if max brightness on SDR isn't enough for you, then HDR is a better option, otherwise I'd personally go with SDR on IPS and for such games you mentioned.
@@DanielZH Thanks for answering! I will stick with SDR. While HDR is brighter, I find that the colors look somewhat washed out, and considering the downsides, I believe I would get diminishing returns by enabling HDR. For single-player and even multiplayer games, SDR seems to be the better choice in my case.
@karanvir99 Hey, I know this is an old comment but I just bought the very same monitor and I am very impressed with the hdr, for the price that is, games look great and so does video content, in fact I feel like I’m watching films with correct colours and tones. You may want to rethink not using hdr on that monitor, if you wanna know how I’m doing it, I’ll let you know.
Sometimes I think about turning off HDR altogether and save myself the headache. They don't give instructions to get the artist intent like SDR. HDR doesn't seem all figured out.
Hi, it's mostly development faults, if they would calibrate it like movies, it would be great with 1 time PS5 calibration
I hope it gets better on PS6
@@DanielZH Ah I see. Yes maybe things will be different
Great video! If you get time, I could use your help. I'm having a difficult time deciding which quality to use for Call of Duty Warzone on my PS5 and Monitor. I just bought a Gigabyte M27U Monitor. Would you play in 4k 120fps with hdr on or off? Or would 1440p 120fps be better? Thank you 👍
Hi, thanks, as it has an IPS panel, there's no point in HDR especially since you get a chroma 4:2:0 which ruins the color and probably RGB Range too, so SDR is a better choice if you had gamma issues (Too much contrast) in SDR with Chroma 4:2:2, then you may lower to 1440p for the full RGB.
@@DanielZH thank you for taking the time to reply 👍 so just to be clear, in your opinion, you think it's best to use 1440p?
@@TuckingFypozzz when using 120Hz and HDR, yes, to get higher chroma sampling, but if you play on 60Hz, then 4K is a better choice. also test 4K with 120Hz but SDR, that should give you chroma 4:2:2 but should look fine, ensure that RGB range doesn't get limited like some monitors that have issues with PS5.
@@DanielZH will do, thanks. 👍
@@DanielZH been gaming in 4k SDR and it has been great! Thank you for the help.
Bro i have a question actually i have the SAMSUNG LU28R550UQPXEN 28" - IPS 4K and i don't wish better to enable de hdr or just turn it off and play with sdr ? What do you think i really need your answer bro and thank you
Hi, I couldn't find this monitor on Rtings.com, can you find it there? if it doesn't have high contrast with local dimming and High HDR brightness, you'd be happier with SDR typically.
My brother ur videos are great but i have a question. i just bought the neo qled qn95c 65 inch. i mean yes it does support hdr10+ gaming and hdr10 but should it be turned on on the tv and the ps5 simultaneously ? the tv says that hdr is on because it is on on the ps5. even when the hdr on the tv is off. are they overlapping or should the function be off on the tv and only on on the ps5?
Hi, this TV has very good contrast and HDR brightness, as I didn't test it myself, I can't recommend settings but it would be nice to check Rtings . com settings and see what they recommend for the game mode and HDR settings to get the correct output: www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/qn95c-qled
Thank you for ur answer mate i will check it out!
But they wont answer me the question i think. Brother, i have 2 options for hdr on this tv. And im not sure if these are just pre-settings 1 says HDR10+ GAMING and one says hdr for gaming. I turned them off and just use ps5 hdr. The tv tells me that there is HDR on because of the ps5. And i cant find an answer if those 2 options i have are actual modes or just presettings :/
Hi! Thnx for this one gave a question: when I use HDR on my ps5 + LG C9, it seems like the fps is lower then with sdr. Is that possible?
Hi, how did you test that? because HDR doesn't affect FPS.
@@DanielZH Thnx for your response! I did not test it, but I am very sensitive in this area. Maybe it's purely placebo, but the Gameplay felt less fluid. By the way, I pretty much only play Warzone 2. Do you think HDR is an added value for this game?
I have a lg NanoCell 85 series tv, and it’s only 550 nits, which is close to the recommended 600 nits, but not enough. And it has a low contrast ratio of 1,697:1 with poor local dimming so in my case, I would use only sdr for the best quality.
Yes in this case when there's no high contrast SDR typically looks better!
Lg c1 SDR on ps5 looks better than HDR in my opponion, There are only 4-5 games where HDR looks good. Since HDR is a new technology, it cannot be optimized well for every game, so I prefer to use SDR, what do you think?
I highly recommend the channel "gamingtech".
He focuses on HDR settings for games, specifically for LG OLED TVs like yours and mine.
Very convenient to have a guy with testing equipment and enthusiast about HDR test and give the settings for a lot of games. Saves a lot of time and headaches to get it right.
You got a fantastic HDR display. But I recommend you make sure it's set up properly.
In general I would suggest making sure the HDR settings on the PS5 system settings are set up correctly, and make sure to use HGIG, not Dynamic Tone Mapping. You can change it in the TVs brightness settings.
DTM will overbrighten the screen and make you set up HDR incorrectly. It ignores your actual settings and the TV takes over.
If you set up settings with DTM on you will get a very overbright and washed out image.
Use HGIG, especially when adjusting settings. It's the most accurate and actually uses the console settings and displays it properly. Your TVs max HDR brightness should be 800 nits. DTM will have you set it at like 2000 if you obey the instructions most times. Not good.
Also make sure HDR is set to "on when supported", don't do "always on". That will force SDR games into an HDR shell which messes up the image. Only use HDR on supported games. The PS5 will toggle it automatically.
Anyway you might know this already. Just mentioning just in case.
1080p on my ps5 looks sharper and better then 4k. 4k looks abit flat and not as sharp..ive got a samsung q95t from 2020 so my tv isnt the problem. Ive spent hours on hours adjusting ps5 settings different games and tv settings but 1080p just looks better i dont understand why any advice.. im starting to think its maybe because the 4k is upscaled and not native. Were is the 1080p is native so will always show up sharper and just cleaner.. everyone saying 4k is better but seriously ive spent hours testing and 1080p is by far better in my case.. witchet 3 is 1080p is absolutely sharper cleaner and better then 4k
I have a hisense a6h UHD 4k HDR and when ever i turn my HDR on my game looks whasdout and im on the ps5 so do you think i just have to play on SDR hope you can help me out o and i also have HDMI 2.0
Hi, I checked the TV, PQ EOTF doesn't go well and overall due to IPS panel and very low HDR brightness, it's better to play on SDR for this TV, SDR would look better in any case, but if you see it's washed out, maybe that's due to wrong Gamma range, lower resolution 1 step (like 1440p if it supports) and see if the HDR looks any better. but overall, due to a very low Contrast (not good for dark room), the best mode to play on your TV would be SDR.
@@DanielZH thank you so so so much for getting back to me and helping me i really appreciate all the effort i thought i was going crazy but i realy appreciate your help hope you have a blessed day and keep up the amazing work thanks again man
Thanks, glad to help and have a nice day too!
I have an ips monitor and games look better without hrd, I keep turning off my hdr on my ps5 on certain games
Yes it usually is better to have SDR on IPS monitors
Im using Viewsonic vx2780 and the color looks washed out with HDR on. Any settings i can use? cus in some games, it looks better with SDR
Hi, there are many factors that can affect HDR quality, in terms of being washed out, have you tested changing the RGB range in the settings and seen how it goes? here's a full video about that stuff: ruclips.net/video/0eC3bfQPzgU/видео.html
@@DanielZH thanks I’ll check that out
My monitor (benq ex2510s) is 400 Nits so I prefer to use sdr to play games , they look better that way imo. Can someone tell me if they do the same ?
SDR Looks better in most IPS Screens, I do the same in my G27Q when I wanna play on that, so yeah it's better overall.
@@DanielZHThanks
That because it just max at 400 nit , you need at least 1000 nit or hdr 1000
Yoo why sdr on ps5 looks dark on the LG G3\G4? Is that a bug from lg?
in which Game? I only have a C2, so I'm not sure if some setting may cause aggressive ABL in G3/G4
Hi i left a comment a week or few ago,i had a Samsung odissey g5 but After problems It gives me i send It back to Amazon
I have a benq mobiuz ex2710q now,should i attivate HDR or no? I tried today i like colours but the brightness might give me troubles
Hi, I found ex2780q information on Rtings only, not sure about the model you got, but for ex2780q as it has an IPS panel with low contrast Ratio, SDR would look much better.
@@DanielZH thanks u, i Will look up more into it,hdr doesnt seems bad on cod i think i will do more tests
COD HDR is good and follows PS5 calibration with no issues. @@mathertz1442
@@DanielZH my monitor has hdri too there's 3 settings, cinema hdri,games hdri,desktop HDR
A guy told me to use hdr and never hdri but Yesterday trying spider man i appreciated games hdri and watching a movie quick to test,cinema wasnt bad,what would u advice?
Thanks u for ur help
Bro, recomiendas desactivar el HDR? (juego en una hisense u8h)
HDR is very good in your TV, it depends on the game and needs calibration, here are HDR calibration videos for the most popular games: ruclips.net/p/PLfzrQ3H5ECSZYy3dFysAvz8Tq1jIer-_m
@@DanielZH muchas gracias por responder bro, me ayudaste mucho.

For FIFA you can use this video: ruclips.net/video/t1H4wKnurL8/видео.html
Honestly HDR feels like most of the time the Colors looks washed out unless I play with contrast and black point. But by the time Colors look less washed out the image is borderline too dark.
Me too any work around or suggestions to make it better

@@DanielZH thank you 💯🦾
Lol noob question. But is SDR means Standard on monitor picture settings? I only see sRGb i thought that is SDR😢
Hi, SDR is Standard Dynamic Range, when HDR (High Dynamic Range) is off, then the output picture is SDR.
@@DanielZH thank you
I noticed when I turned on HDR for rainbow six siege, i noticed a slight input lag. I have the oled Lg 27gr95qe . Shld i keep it on for multiplayer online ? Or shld i just keep it off? Also how about vrr ?
Hi, you might be correct, Rtings says: "The input lag increases in picture modes that aren't optimized for gaming, like 'Vivid', 'Reader', 'HDR Effect', 'sRGB', 'Color Weakness', 'Calibration 1', and 'Calibration 2'. Using any of these modes disables the DAS feature, which is why the input lag increases. "
So I recommend not using the picture modes mentioned to avoid extra input lag.
I prefer SDR, idk if its bc im an older gamer but the colors look better
In most new games HDR is barely usable, and it's highly dependent on the TV too, SDR is the main factor when making games so they optimize that better typically.
Hey man you think you’re gonna to and hdr settings etc video for that upcoming cyberpunk 2.0 update
Hi, can I purchace that even if I don't have main game? I'll look into it, when is it coming out?
SDR FTW 💪💪💪
I knew you'd be happy 😄
in games, FOR SURE !

Should I use the HDR setting on PS5 if I don't have a HDR TV?
No, and you can't if your screen doesn't support it!
@@DanielZHBut my TV does not support it and it lets me put it on, but it makes everything way to bright
@@umbra7860Then it's best to keep it off.
@@DanielZHThanks dude!
tried DCR instead?
While gaming? not actually.
when? simple : EVERY TIME ! mostly, HDR in games are trash, implementation is incorrect. Staying away with HDR in games, and keep using SDR is a better guarantee to have a nice picture, without having crushing black or elevated black level, or clipping the white, at least if you have setting your picture preset the right way of course.
Hi, in terms of monitor, most of them don't even have a correct local dimming, and only some TVs have great HDR output, and yes, many games have wrong HDR implantation on their base. SDR is still good in many cases.
Hdr is not tht vibrant sdr looks better
Depends on the game and screen
@@DanielZH must b my outdated hisense
computer and consoles hdr is bullshit because is not real hdr, its just sdr signal with brightness, contrast, tonemapping manipulation, mainly increased brightness to deceive the viewer, the best is to fully disable it
Really depends on the game, some games use it Natively, but of course, they don't come close to an HDR-recorded and graded movie, it's different how HDR works in games compared to movies.
but mw2 hdr is shit on ps5. I have samsung odysey g7 monitor
Not every game has a good HDR!
