Please like, subscribe and share my content. Thank You 🙂

One of the best channels for gaming settings/calibration. Thank you for all your amazing work and support for the gaming community.

Came for the bg3 ps5 tips on graphics. Ended up with a massive amount of information In reasonable and easy to understand videos. Well done sir. Subbed and followed

I’m glad I found this video because this is the way I had to do mine . Awesome bro, work with what you got. Much respect

Thank you good man, keep them coming we appreciate your videos ✌️

Amazing and Informative video! Thank you for sharing with us your knowledge🔥

Decent work my friend, much I appreciated it 👍🏻

Finally a clear and simple explanation of Ps5 hdr settings! Thank you very much! 😉

This chart is so useful! Thank you.

Excellent work. Very clear explanation.

Great work! Very much appreciated.

Very much appreciated this. Thank you my good sir 👍

Brilliant as always Amok. You always have a way of explaining things to make them easy to understand. So thanks for that! Also, destiny 2 witch queen have released an update which apparently fixes the HDR issues, I was wondering if you could have a look at that?

Amok, thank you for all that you do. Your videos are the the first thing I seek upon new releases. For games that allow fine tuning of HDR in-game, will your settings differ on a LG G1/EVO panel set? To my understanding the peak brightness is a tad higher which always makes me think I should make my maximum brightness slider higher. Am I correct or am I just hurting my overall picture quality?

Awesome job! Sir.

Ich liebe Deinen Kanal. Immer wieder eine Hilfe.

Gotta love the sly dig at vincent teoh and his reference monitor. Hes a professional calibrator thats why he has one.

This is absolute Gold Man, Thanks!

This calibration works for LG C1 model 2021 thanks greetings from Mexico

I dont know what to do with what on my ps5 &xboxS/x without u.u should be part of digital foundry podcasts..anyways thanks..from Nigeria with Love

Great Video! I would like you to make a video teaching how to calibrate the brightness of Resident Evil 2 and 3, both in SDR and HDR, these games have a washed image in both modes. Thank You.

You rock Amok! Keep it up! Also don’t sell your CX! 👍

This bloke is a legend.

You are a god! TY so much for the break down

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to produce this. Please could I ask if the table you kindly prepared refers to the number of clicks from when the sun image on the Sony HDR calibration screen is at its darkest? Thank you again for your help.

on my LG Nano 91 2020 with Xbox series X and HGIG the squares appear and disappear three times at 500, 700 and 950 (at 950 they are almost imperceptible) nits, to appear & disappear and hardclip at 1250 nits, which I think exceeds the nits of my tv , although it looks good like this.....I think even with HGIG activated it still applies some tone mapping.........greetings from Ibiza, Spain and keep up the good work 💯👍

I wonder why they give us bad instruction… BTW, thank you very much for this video and the videos about HFW and GT7, I’ll try to better setup my PS5 to work at best with my Samsung QN95A ;-)

this is a short and simple version of HDTVTest channel 👍

Hello ,great channel Bro! I have a G1 and was doing the HDR calibration with DTM on. Should i also doing it with HGIG 14 ticks like You with the CX?

Hi ich finde deine Videos sehr gut erklärt und hilfreich! Hab dich abonniert!

Hi great video once again! Do you happen to know (or even have a rough estimate) of the nits for TCL QLED C725k? It is HDR10 - which is advertised as 1000 nits, though I know that isnt the case - have seen conflicting numbers between 450-600nits.

Thank you very much for info.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to do this. I have a question I still do not understand why for the xbox we don't do any clicks up or down?

Hey amok Great content.keep up your Work. Kurze Frage noch, klappt die Einstellung auch beim oled B9 ?

Hello, I have an LG OLED 55B97LA and in most videos there is talk of it, you should make 14 clicks during HGIG calibration until the sun is no longer visible, in the first two steps! However, I only need 11-12 clicks and the sun is no longer visible. (Depending on whether I set it during the day or in the evening, of course). Do I still have to make 14 clicks or are these 11-12 clicks also sufficient? I would appreciate an answer in this regard :)

If you have an LG OLED and: > you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast, set: First screen / Max Luminance: +25 clicks (starting from 0; all the way to the bottom) Second screen / Max Luminance: +25 clicks (starting from 0; all the way to the bottom) Third screen / Min. Luminance: 0 clicks (all the way to the bottom) > you're using HGIG: First screen / Max Luminance: +14 clicks (starting from 0; all the way to the bottom) or +15 clicks (for G2/C4) or +18 clicks (for G3/G4) Second screen / Max Luminance: +14 clicks (starting from 0; all the way to the bottom) or +15 clicks (for G2/C4) or +18 clicks (for G3/G4) Third screen / Min. Luminance: 0 clicks (all the way to the bottom)

What happen if you put 15 steps and your tv have less than 600 nits? I have a q70t with HGIG and maximum only have 524 cd/m2 according with rtings

I have a question. Does apply to regular LED screens that don't have HGiG? I have a Samsung nu6080 4k TV from 2019. It's regular LED and it doesn't have HGiG.

Tolles Video, Danke. Ich war zeitweise sehr verwirrt bzgl. der ganzen HDR-Empfehlungen. Wenn ich dich jedoch richtig verstehe, müsste ich somit meinen LG OLED C7 von 2017 auf ca. 12-13 Klicks bei den ersten beiden Screens stellen? LG und Danke

Great content again. Much appreciated but VT measured in HGIG and said the EV slider doesn't affect the nits yet when you move the slider it clearly brightens and blows out the picture. So what should the EV slider be if TV outputs 950 nits? Setting my PS5 correctly 15 clicks is 970.nits.

So do you do the adjustment before enabling hgig or with it enabled as my tv had hgig but does not have dynamic tone mapping option aswell.

Great vid - I have Hisense 43A7500 and online it says it's only goes to 350nits so not sure how to set it up. TV is Dolby Vision certified, but probably barely!

Super, das dürfte dann für meine PS4 Pro und den LG B9 zu treffen? Der wurde gestern mit dem i1 display pro plus und calman kalibriert. Habe eben mal das ganze eingestellt HGiG, sollte ich dann zurück auf Tone Mapping gehen? Calman kalibriert ja mit DDC Reset und daher Tone Mapping. ?

Thanks for the Video, so the Description from Sony is wrong when HGIG is on? The sun shouldnt shiw up at all? Just got my PS5 and im a bit confused. Im on LG CX too 😊

What do you use for Black Level in your TV's settings? Auto, low, or high?

QN90B75 owner. HDR settings on my tv are standard, contrast enhancer off, gamma and shadow are at 0. Game HDR ON and HDR10+ GAMING set to Basic. How many clicks i have to set for best HDR on my Playstation 5?

Hi thanks for going to this trouble for us. I scanned through the comment section looking for replies to a 600 nit monitor but found none. Could you advise on a monitor with maximum 600 nits PS5?

Do you put your tv in pc mode for the PS5? Just wondering because to me pc mode slightly washes the colors it seems. Thanks!

I'm confuse a little.....these settings is for tv model ,right?I have LG B8 (the nits of these tv is 735 more or less)the best option is 14 /14/0 clicks?thank you so much.....your channel is awesome keep growing

Followed your guide, very simple and easy, but as someone who is clueless with this kind of stuff what does HGIG do exactly and why should I switch to On or Off once I've adjusted the HDR?

Thanks for this great video. Can you pls tell me what value should I set between 0-100 on Brighness, Contrast & Red, Green, Blue in my monitor picture settings? I'm using Samsung Odyssey G7 QLED 27inch. Pls help.

Thank you!

X90j should I calibrate the ps5 hdr with tone mapping off or leave on graduation preferred?

Hi. Can you check best settings for cod warzone? For LG Oled. I am using c9

In the last black setting I have it configured as in the others, as soon as it disappears I click on it, almost what is seen is negligible, and Gran Turismo 7 looks perfect. I like the cold tone more than the hot one, in gt7 a dark car does not look good.

If we don't have hgig, what should we do? Thanks for the video

Hi..its amazing how difficult it is to find an asnswr to one question. I hsve an lg b8..no hgig. When calibrating hdr (clicking)..do i leave dynamic tone mapping on or off? Once calibration is done on all the 3 screens..do i activate dynamic tone mapping once again? Please can you answer this for me..as it seems the whole of google doesn't seem to have a clear answer. Regards Rai

Appreciate the work you put in to help make sense of all the HDR adjustments available between consoles and the games themselves. What I don’t like though is that HDR requires this much adjustment on a system or game menu level at all. It creates so much variability when HDR was described as a signal that provides precise values at varying brightness levels so that your picture is more accurate and needs less tinkering to look correct. It’s put me off from using it at all and just sticking with sRGB, especially when in game sliders are so obtuse in what they do at times and make me question the accuracy of it all to begin with. I’m not an “HDR is a gimmick” person, but why can’t a display’s Nit output capability just be part of the EDID and your media device just outputs in kind what it can do; same with supporting HDR10/Dolby Vision etc. I have a LG B7 and C1, but to this day still find all of this annoying to grapple with to get an accurate image in HDR. Sorry for the ranting post, and thanks again for the videos.

My tv is sony x85j and the tv calibrated the hdr settings automatically .. 1-2 screen 13 clicks and last screen 4 clicks .. should i change the value or leave it ? The tv doesn't have hgig ?

I messed around with my hdr so much I forgot where the out of the box standard ps5nsetting was before doing any clicks for the 3rd screen the dark screen. Do you remember for the 3rd screen what to go to to get back to 0 so I can do nothing?

This was helpful, thank you! In guilty gear strive, hgig makes the picture very dark. Is the best solution to play with dynamic tone mapping on then?

Hey Friend 👋 can I ask what i should do on my TV which isn't an oled?? It's a budget (4k) sony tv. Thanks

Ich hab mal eine Frage zur Playstation 5 und dem Game Optimizer. Ich besitze eine LG B1 und mir ist aufgefallen das wenn der Schwarz Stabilisator auf 10 steht, das bild sowas von verwaschen und aufgehellt ist. Ist es nicht Sinnvoller das Teil auf 0 zu stellen ? Hatte es mal mit einem Kontrast / Brightness Video auf der PS5 mir angeschaut, und das ist in meinen Augen ja mehr als Übel. Wenn der Schwarz Stabilisator auf 10 oder mehr steht. Was sagt ihr dazu ?

So if my samsung q80b has peak brightness is 1500 nits then step 1 and 2 will be 18 steps in HGIG mode enabled? Although the sun disappears in 17 steps on both steps and becomes barely visible in 16 steps so which is right?

I don’t have hgig or any of these settings on my tv so I just use UHD color and Game Mode. I have a Samsung NU7300 curve. So I don’t know how to get the most out of it and I can’t find any videos on this particular tv

Kurze Frage, in deinen letzten Videos sagst du man soll die ps5 hdr Kalibrierung zu dtm an oder hgig an machen je nach dem was man bevorzugt. Jetzt sagst du man soll in hgig kalibrieren und dann zu dtm wechseln. Was hat sich denn geändert? Klasse content und mach weiter so schöne Grüße aus Deutschland

The Samsung qn900b claims up to 4000 nits. What would the clicks be for this TV, thanks in advanced

hey! With my samsung qn90b ( peak brightness 1000) at 15 clicks the sun is still visible. Should i just leave it at this, or go all the way up? I watched another video and the guy said to clip it, this is 20 clicks. Any advice? Also hgig gives a darker picture, would yu leave this on? Thanks!

I have de LG OLED c8. There are only Tone mapping on or of to select. Wich settings are here the best?

Just woow !

Hello this video explains everything I need to know thank you 👍 I have lg nano916na what would be the right amount clicks needed? When I attempted this its strange because at 12 clicks i get an outline of the sun then it comes back??

I need help with the Philips 48 OLED 707/12 in HGiG mode. The PS5 HDR calibration still shows the outline of the sun. After 12 clicks the inner portions of the sun go away. If I set HDR perfect to MINIMUM instead of HGiG then the sun will completely disappear after 15 clicks. What is happening!?

Hey I just found your video, I'm rolling on the ground with Q70A dynamic tone mapping is driving me crazy and can't be turned off, how many clicks should I go for PS5 ? Edit: what are those things I hear about triggering 1000nits on samsung tvs does that apply to the Q70A?

But when i set 3/3 to 0 nits i cant see enemies when they are standing in front of a dark background like woods or dark corners . I also cant see the difference between my iron sights , the enemy and the background

Hello, I have an LG55UP7500, they are HDMI 2.0 earc/arc ports, should I do the same HDR procedures? or how many nits do you recommend for my screen model? Regards.

Wie würdest du es bei einem philips tv 707 oled einstellen 65 zoll? Hat auch hgig…angeblich 850 nits, aber die sonne braucht mehr als 14 klicks um zu verschwinden? Why? Interessanterweise ist sie mit dtm off bei 14 klicks weg…mit hgig bei ca 19 / 20?

lg oled B-8 dont have ogig so what is the best hdr setings is it the same ? (ps5)

Hello amok and everyone else i own a lg c2 and use it for my ps5 my brother just bought an another ps5 and sony x90j 55 inch full array led tv the question i wanna ask is does anyone know how much nits is Sony x90j?

Hi I hope you're all doing well! Please could someone tell me how many clicks I have to use for the Q900B 75inch. I am frustrated because I thought it's necessary to click until the sun disappears to get the best HDR. I hope someone can help me.

You speak like Arnold Schwarzenegger! Get to tha choppaa!

My TV doesn’t have HGIG. In HDR game mode the options are DTM on/off that’s it. Should I calibrate PS5 with DTM off then turn on after ?

I have a qled display on the black screen what do i do ? I have hgig enabled does the sun have to be visible or no?

hi, I would really like to know how many nits my TV has so I can use your table to calibrate hdr on PlayStation, I have a Sony bravoa A90k TV, my TV does not have HGIG

Can you talk about how to calibrate hdr in games like cod and Battlefield

this only for oled? me lg 2018 v panel have local diming.. the 3 step i maked 0???

my new hisenense u8k takes about 30 clicks before the sun starts cliping what do i do in that scenario cause on the box it advertizes 1500 nitts

On my c1 I have to adjust the black level to were the sun just disappears. If I max it out the blacks get crushed.

So happy GT7 is HGIG, my settings are perfect and the game looks incredible. Horizon needs needs this, its unacceptable not having it as a 1st party title.

Hi what about the Sony A95K? It has no Hgig and 2 options for hdr tonemapping.

Hi sir, how many clicks on ps5/q90t samsung? 18,18,0? Is it correctly? Thanks🙏

My x90j doesnt have hgig, so what am I supposed to do before calibrating hdr? I only have off, gradation preferred, and brightness preferred.

My monitor has HDR600 600 Nits are 12 clicks but my sun is not visible on 14 clicks which is 840 nits. Any help?

Hello, should the S95s setting be set to 20 or 18 clicks? And in games without Hgig support, do you have to move the slider to 2000 nits?

How many clicks for hdr 400? I have the oddysey G70a but i messed my hdr i think, my colors are a little dark, i don't know what to do, can somebody please help me?

How many clicks for the Samsung q90t?

So for a 2017 oled lgb7 with no hgig do I ignore the hdr calibration screen and just set it to the 14 clicks?

Good morning @GamingTech I have just purchased a Benq ex2710q monitor which as peak brightness has around 400 nits. Coming from a Panasonic oled I'm having a hard time figuring out how much click I need to set the hdr to. How should I go about this? Thanks in advance

Hi Markus, hab bei deinen letzten Videos gelesen dass du einen helleren Tv kaufen möchtest. Wartest du auf die neuen Qd-Oleds oder wirst du einen qled nehmen? Mir gehts wie dir, mir is der lg cx gerade bei hdr Material zu dunkel. Lg und danke für deine Videos, lass dir ein Abo da.🙏

How many licks does it take to get to the tootsy roll center of a tootsy pop?

Great content but what about monitors ? i have a BenQ mobiuz ex2510 but i don't know how to calibrate the HDR settings thanks
