Hi, here are the new PS5 HDR Settings in 2023 after testing 30 games and finally deciding if you should clip the sun into the background or make it barely visible, + the best Step 3 of 3 Dark settings for visible near-black details to fix lines in near black levels on older OLED TVs.

    I never even questioned this until i played gow Ragnarok and spiderman 2. I changed my HDR clipping with the sun like you said in first party exclusives to barely visible and then completely blended in for 3rd party games. What a difference that made specifically for the 3rd party games. I have an hdr600 ips panel gets about 700 nits. no hgig or that sorta thing. Thanks a alot!
  • HI! Thank you very much for the video it was very well done and was very helpful, I have a question, but regarding film production, what procedure should be followed for calibration of HDR? I have a Panasonic mz1500 and I use professional 2 for films and the tone mapping is active so I have more clicks for the hdr than the ps5, A thousand thanks!
  • @jakedizzle
    Yes I would like to see the black levels video mentioned at the end. Thank you for this video. It’s perfect.
  • Do you recommend turning local dimming on for calibration? I’ve noticed on my TCL C845(HGIG enabled), when you turn on local dimming, the sun disappears on the 15th click for steps 1 and 2. But turned off, the sun disappears on the 13th click.

    What do you recommend for warzone? I feel fortunes keep is very bright and have a hard time seeing people. I have LG OLED HDR
  • Really hope they can make all this standard in time really annoying having to change for different games
  • @marlo.g.e3908
    Hey man, my tv is samsung AU7000, whats the best HDR settings for it?
  • @Kung_Fu_Kenny
    This goes against every recommendation I’ve seen from channels like HDTVTest, ClassyTech, and GamingTech. Not saying you’re wrong but these guys are pretty reliable.
  • @yo1323
    So Daniel you sugest for Sony TVs to calíbrate HDR ps5 menu, with gradation prefered and then What? We changed to off or we let it on gradación prefered?
  • @gocawot4165
    Unbeliavable content my man. Discovered your Channel today and subscribed imediatly. Searching for the best ps5 hdr settings with my new x90l brought me here.Can you give me some tipps on how to get the best out of it? I don't have big knowledge about tv settings. What does tone mapping do? Does it overdrive ps5 hdr adjustment? Thanks in advance and have a great day 😊
  • @FernweHx
    Hello, I have LG 43Un74006Lb UHD TV. Can you recommend the HDR setting? It mixes with the sun in 28 clicks.
  • @jakedizzle
    Can you do one for HDR Always On system setting for games that don’t support HDR? I use it for PS4 games. Sometimes I’ll have DTM On or HGIG depending on the game. Curious if the system level calibration makes a difference.
  • @davidromero2704
    This video was recommended to me after trying to find calibration methods. So, in some games, it has gotten darker in some areas than before calibration. I have noticed these are games where your characters are given a lamp . Like in lies of P. Does that meant its normal for some dark areas because of the lamp mechanic? Of so, did that mean my pre calibration settings were off when i could see areas without a lampm
  • @tilda5944
    Una domanda , nel video hai detto di utilizzare " gradazione preferita" sui TV Sony , ma vorrei sapere se durante la calibrazione del hdr di ps5 devo tenere acceso la gradazione preferita o devo calibrare hdr con questa opzione spenta e poi accenderla quando ho finito di calibrare ?
  • @andrearossi1960
    another flaw of fc 24 is that as you play in various situations the colors become darker or lighter on their own for example: you take the corner kick and it gets darker then after a while everything becomes lighter but it doesn't do this in all stadiums
  • I like watching your channel i love your settings i will always try them on my ps5 games keep up the wonderful work 😊 😊
  • @BrianMcAvoy13
    When my HDR is on, it causes my TV to green shift. I've tried everything, but it's simply new tech and old tech not communicating properly.
  • @SnakeGamerMG3
    I really like this content.... I usually leave step 3 100% black because I have an LED TV without local dimming, so if I don't leave everything black, the colors seem more "washed".
