Madden 18 and HDR

[Klocker]

only disappointing thing for me is I kept hearing about HDR and then when this game added it I went and bought an X1S and traded in my OG for it.

I have an X1X ordered so I wasted about $136 to find out HDR games on it are not all that . I mean they're nice I can see a difference, but not like what people are seeing from 4k HDR.

oh well live and learn.

can not wait for X1X now.

I can't wait for the X1X. It's not that far away now. I was hoping it was going to look better than the Pro, but I'm not so sure it can look any better. Will see if they deliver on true 4k

Correct me if I am wrong...but does the Xbox 1S even adequately DO HDR? I was under the assumption that until the 1X came out the PS4 was it.

Game looks good w/HDR on my Pro/Sammy KS8000 60".

When I first saw the game w/HDR (and backlight all the way up) it still looked like I was wearing weak sunglasses; like a bit tinted.

I resolved this by just going into the games visual options and notching up the brightness and contrast from default to one higher (not the highest) and I'm happy with it now. Glad I don't need to do any other tv tweaks just for this game.

Sorry but you really shouldn't adjust in game settings like that. Those are intended for accessibility users. You're ultimately compromising the point of HDR entirely by doing that.

What you should do is head over to the KS8000 owners thread and see what other users are doing with their settings for an optimal image.

Otherwise you're not experiencing HDR to the fullest extent and are cheating yourself.

Make sure your firmware is up to date and that you set your settings as follows for the best image.


HDR Game Mode
Colour gamut WIDE
Dynamic Contrast on HIGH
PS4 Pro YUV420 with LIMITED

Low black level on your OLED

Sublime and no issues whatsoever , lovely bright vivid image with all skin tones and colours spot on.
