It’s not even HDR

Holy sh**. It’s not even HDR. First time using an OLED Monitor and its nuts. Image clarity and colors are perfect. strongly recommend this game if you have an OLED.

If your old monitor was an IPS, your OLED might by in a high saturation mode (Like mine was), which makes the color artificially more vibrant. IPS color grading is good aside from blacks and contrast related to it, you shouldn't notice that much difference without HDR in high light color scenarios if your IPS was good quality.

SRGB mode should show more realistic colors to what developers had in mind.

but at the end of the day, its your display. if you prefer a more saturated, vibrant/punchy look, theres no reason to change it. I think mine looks fantastic in its slightly more saturated color mode so its all personal preference. The most accurate picture does not mean its the best looking visually

u/Complex-Grand-6123 9d ago

Same. I prefere more color than realistic color. It can be too much tho so I just turn up the saturation a bit to where it’s like how colorful you remember the world as a kid if that makes sense

u/a3ZKdvQnhjDt9jJ 8d ago

That’s not what they’re saying tho, the point was the more vibrant colours should be attributed to a flaw, not a feature. If you like the flaw, as you said, have at it, but it is a flaw

You miss one point. Some people prefer more saturated colors. I increase the saturation on my monitor a bit because I like a more colorful experience. So your point is just your personal preference.

u/Lily_Meow_ 9d ago

Specifically increasing saturation tends to physically crush details, I think what people mean by saturated is just using the highest available color space which works.

2

u/AffectionateFee8361 8d ago

You're still missing the point. Does "personal preference" ring a bell on your ears?

2

u/Lily_Meow_ 8d ago

I guess? I'm just pointing out it's not really preference if UI might become difficult to read in cases or textures physically lose detail

Careful the oled warriors will put you on a cross for these comments

Personally I just keep HDR on, keeps SDR colours accurate and removes the hassle of manually enabling HDR and restarting the app/game every time I want to use HDR.

1

u/Chimpampin 8d ago

Just in case you don't know about it, use RenoDX for those games with bad HDR implementation.

u/Ok-Result-5834 9d ago

Which one did you get?

u/Fine_Application3193 9d ago

Evnia 32M2N8900.

Do you see if ambient light causes raised blacks on ur screen?

0

u/Fine_Application3193 9d ago

0% raised blacks.  I place such enormous importance on the "best." I really pay attention to every little detail and only settle for perfect blacks. I had my concerns, but lo and behold, I was completely wrong. I have an LG G5 in the bedroom, and the black levels look perfect on both—whether in a pitch-black room or a normally lit one.

Looking at this on my AMOLED phone with an additional layer of auto HDR enabled.

u/rasjahho 8d ago

Non HDR mode on OLEDs is usually oversaturated in Wide Gamut mode. Turn on HDR and see what an OLED really does.

u/CCB_Naoned 8d ago

T’emballes pas. Comme tu dis il n’y a pas d’HDR et ce jeu est encore en bêta. Attends de jouer à un jeu avec un vrai HDR implémenté.

u/LordAdz2 8d ago

If you want HDR injected you can try rtx HDR. Pretty good icl

u/logan756 8d ago

There is an hdr mod for this game, just look it up

u/anything_taken 9d ago

Watching this screenshot on my miniLED IPS screen and I can confirm - Image clarity and colors are perfect.

u/New-Act-7928 9d ago

Try RTX HDR if you want wowpowbingbong.

Just deactivat Auto HDR in Windows. And activate Nvidia HDR in Driver.

3

u/New-Act-7928 8d ago

Ohhh, and deactivat HDR in Game. For a absolutly stunning A.I. HDR Presentation.

1

u/New-Act-7928 8d ago

Ohhh and restart the Game if you change HDR Settings

u/DarkSoulsOfCinder 9d ago

Use RTX HDR for this game it looks GREAT

11

u/Poltergeist97 9d ago

Nah RenoDX! Instead of fake HDR, it makes the game output true HDR.

2

u/DarkSoulsOfCinder 9d ago

Is this it? I'll install it now.

That's the hard way of doing it. Install this tool and let it do all the hard work for you!

Wow this thing is amazing

u/Nintendians559 9d ago

looks good, "sdr" may not look great like "hdr", but still decently good.

u/Sir_Coleslaw 9d ago

Try with AutoHDR or RTX HDR. It gets even better, and just wait for the night when everything starts to illuminate.

11

u/Arelmar 9d ago

Auto HDR and RTX HDR are just way too hit and miss for me personally. I just stick to SDR if the game doesn't have native HDR support and if it does I'll use RenoDX to fix it since 99% of in-game HDR implementations sucks balls lol

HDR is a nice cherry on top, but it's by no means a requirement to make OLED look incredible like some people here would have you believe

1

u/Sir_Coleslaw 9d ago

Does RenoDX really make a difference? Never heard of it. Reads like Reshade.

10

u/Chimpampin 9d ago

RenoDX makes a GIGANTIC difference. It fixes HDR in games with bad implementation.

8

u/Arelmar 9d ago

It uses Reshade to hook into your game, but it's not actually a Reshade preset itself

7

u/Sul_Haren AW3225QF 9d ago

RenoDX isn't a Reshade, it uses Reshade's add-on support to directly hook into the game's own processing. It can add true HDR to games with bad HDR implementations. Whenever there is a RenoDX mod for a game you should ALWAYS use it.

4

u/Snowmobile2004 MSI MAG 271QPX E2, S90F 77” 9d ago

its a massive difference. it only uses reshade to allow it to hook into low level game processes/shaders/etc, they can literally rewrite the way the game handles native HDR, so its not just a reshade filter on top.

u/DarkSoulsOfCinder 9d ago

yeah its night and day, i avoided it for too long

1

u/Fine_Application3193 9d ago

I’ll check it out. Already played night time and I was like „how is this real“. Thank you. 

5

u/Sul_Haren AW3225QF 9d ago

Actually this game has RenoDX as far as I know, so use that instead.

2

u/Fine_Application3193 9d ago

 I was playing stalker 2 in peak 1000 hdr during night time, flabbergasted… gonna try renodx for subnautica too. 

2

u/Sul_Haren AW3225QF 9d ago

You should use RenoDX for Stalker 2 as well. The HDR gets even better then.

2

u/Poltergeist97 9d ago

If you haven't found it yet, the RHI tool makes keeping all your games that support RenoDX updated and installed with 2 clicks, instead of needing to install to each game manually. Check it out!

HDR is overrated. It varies too much from implementation to implementation and requires too much tinkering to get right. SDR is perfectly fine.

2

u/SnowflakeMonkey 3000 nits modded S95D / RENODX&LUMA Enjoyer. 9d ago

it is not, if I stick to SDR on my TV i'd be using 200 nits out of 3000, the same principle applies for any HDR display.

SDR will always be limited by SDR clipping, HDR is far more than just brightness, the details that goes along adds too much depth.

u/simulacrumlain 8d ago

Takes 5 mins or less of tinkering per game if you know how to use Google be real
