This did not make a difference for me.

I have the Q8FN Full Array Local Dimming Samsung QLED and it is one of the best HDR tvs around.

But my Asus 4k Gsycn HDR 144hz monitor with peak brightness that can reach 1200 nits blows my QLED out the water in HDR

The monitor is about 2K dollars though but so worth it for PC and console gaming

Yeah I feel ya, because it does help in some ballparks for me, but it’s really something only SDS can fix as it’s still a problem in several stadiums.

However, we do have a whole thread for framerate issues, so let’s not derail this one.

On a slightly related note I'm struggling trying to get the search function to work on OS. I'm an experienced IT professional so it's not 'techno-phobia'.

I'm searching for threads with 'HDR' in the title and get no results back. The way I found this thread was to google 'hdr setting for mlb the show 19 4k'.

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Idk about HDR. I turned it on but don’t know if I see much of a difference. It actually looks dim in the game now I think. Anyone know why?

It depends on your TV, but many models have different HDR settings. For instance, mine has 3 HDR options: Dark, Normal, and Bright, then I can adjust each individually. My TV defaults to Dark, but The Show looks better on Normal, so check your TV settings and see if you have a similar way to tweak the HDR.

Idk if mine has that or not. It’s a LG tv.

Got one of the new Samsung QLEDs and was really disappointed with the HDR until I finally managed to turn off all of the post processing BS and turn on game mode, then it actually looked good.

Before it had the same effect as you said, seemed to wash out the brightness of the screen. And yes, while I'm not %100 behind the show's HDR implementation, it does make a difference and it does look better IMO. It was pretty crazy it an afternoon game to see how the light effected the colour on uniforms as outfielders walked in and out of the shadows cast by the light scaffolding on their way into the dugout after the inning.

Although not necessarily better for gameplay. Last game was an evening game at the White Sox, and that Sun could not set fast enough.
