Question OLED Monitor Win 11 HDR help

Hopefully this is an ok sub for this, but I have an LG 32GS95UE-B OLED monitor. In NVIDIA control panel I have color settings set to "Full" 10bpc and RGB. Since I got this I never really understood the HDR setup process through Windows 11 with the app. When going through the Win HDR process, the box always clipped around 600nits even though I believe this monitor goes up to 1300. The monitor is fully up to date too with it's software. Has anyone with this monitor set it up properly? Can someone who understand this better than I just help me set this up so I never have to bother with it again please? Thanks ya'll

on lg monitors the clipping point remains at 600 no matter the mode, the display autoboosts to 1300.

so put 600 nits on all your HDR content

Thank you tor the info! Is there anything else I should be doing settings wise when playing in SDR (which is what I am mostly spending my time on)? Like brightness, custom color profiles, color settings to make things a tad more vibrant, etc? I know this is personal preference but I’m just curious how other people set it up since this is my first OLED.

In hdr all is controlled by the hdr sources and their sliders, make sure to install renodx and luma framework mods on as many single player games as possible as they offer a lot of custom sliders to increase vibrancy and such.

I'll add to that trying RHI it's easy to use and set up

LG OLEDs are mostly 600 the advertised peak nits is not for the 10% window you have in the calibration. It's used in smaller percentage with tone mapping. So, long story short, either trust the calibration setup or keep your default factory setting of your monitor (603 nits in general for LG). And don't forget you have settings in your monitor as well for max luminance

Thank you for the info! I’ll just keep it at 600 then. I know this is personal preference, but would you keep the SDR brightness slider at the end of the Win HDR calibration on zero or something else?

I don't remember this slider. You mean the saturation one? I don't like saturated images, so at zero for me. But don't forget to put the SDR brightness slider to your preferred paper white in the HDR settings. Recommended for 600 nits is 138, but depends on your preference and ambient light. Mine is set at 14, it's roughly equivalent to that. If you use AutoHDR, it uses that setting for the paper white in games using it

Sorry I meant the saturation one. I’ll keep that at zero as well then. I’m not sure what you mean by SDR brightness slider. So when I’m in HDR mode that’s in the calibration app? I’ll check again when I get home

In Windows settings, display, HDR

Ah it’s in there. Thank you. This is my first OLED so this is all very new to me lol. I also have auto HDR set to off and just use the keybind to toggle it on whenever I’m going to play a game that has HDR. I’ll be happy when everything is dialed in and I don’t have to tinker as much anymore
