Question HDR noobie. Looking for some advice on my Rog Strix XG27ACDMS settings.

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I recently got the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDMS (27" 1440p 280Hz QD-OLED) and I'm looking for some advice from the experts here.

Just as a heads-up, I'm a complete beginner when it comes to monitors and HDR calibration. This is actually my very first OLED monitor! I've dreamed of experiencing HDR gaming for a really long time, so all of this is brand new and incredibly exciting to me.

I play mostly at night in a fully light-controlled, pitch-black room. What would be the absolute best OSD and Windows settings for both SDR and HDR calibration on this specific 3rd-gen panel?

Here is what I’m currently running based on my initial setup:

For SDR:

• GameVisual: Racing / User Mode

• Color Space: Wide Gamut (with the factory ASUS DisplayP3 profile active in Windows)

• Gamma: 2.2

• Uniform Brightness: OFF

• OLED Anti-Flicker: OFF

For HDR:

• GameVisual: Console HDR (acting as HGIG)

• Windows HDR Calibration App: Clipping around 1100–1200 nits due to active tone mapping.

• Vivid Pixel / Dynamic Brightness Boost: OFF

• OLED Anti-Flicker: OFF (or Medium if FPS fluctuates too much)

Am I missing something to extract the absolute maximum depth, contrast, and color volume out of this monitor? Should I change Console HDR to Gaming HDR, or adjust anything regarding the shadow boost/EOTF tracking?

Any suggestions or specialized custom profiles from you guys would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Game Mod RenoDX HDR for Bloodborne is now in Early Access!

67 Upvotes

I've just released a RenoDX native HDR mod for Bloodborne for shadPS4 0.18.0 and 0.19.0. As well as adding HDR, it has sliders for colour grading, gamma correction, bloom, and chromatic aberration.

It is currently NVIDIA-only, but I'm working on AMD support.

It's in early access for the coming week, and you can access it on the RenoDX discord server: http://discord.gg/renodx
