Visual Settings Next Gen HDR on or Off

[cingelsby]

I am on PS5 and I feel like the game looks better with HDR off. With it on I feel like the game looks a little washed out. I am on LG TV that has 4k and HDR. Just curious what settings people are using.

i tested out HDR on my PC with several games and felt like it looked Bad and washed out every time. might be that HDR from my Monitor is just Not Good enough. might be the same with your TV.

I have it turned on and messed with a couple of settings to get it looking good. I think there is an issue with HDR Currnetly. I expect a patch will fix it.

It could be the way how 2k just didn't implement HDR correctly for NBA2k. I remember RDR2 had a bad HDR experience when it was first released.

Off. But my TV is a lower end TV as well. Colours pop better without it for me.

2K does not implement HDR well, I have tried all methods..HDR on, HDR off, HDR was just way too bright, HDR off gave better colors.

Other games give you the option to choose HDR color settings in game, hopefully 2K makes this possible in the future.

If you are playing 2K, I would turn it off but turn it on for games that offer HDR settings

I personally think it looks better on but it’s seems like it must be tv dependent.......the tv I bought last year had HDR as one of its pros on CNEt and other review sites I used for research....... with hdr off the game looked almost cartoonish for me

I’m hoping they can add a patch with more warmth & color saturation. Some courts/uniforms are a true eye sore. Especially Lakers/staples center.

You need wide color gamut and dynamic tone mapping. Playing with the backlight, brightness and contrast could help a bit. Brightness and contrast should be at max for HDR, but may need to lower the contrast or brightness a bit for darker games.

yep, i messed with those on the CX and it made a big differences..although some unis still look washed out..its just a 2k issue, other games look great

HDR has been really disappointing.

Some games pop, others are bathed in a nauseating red hue.

2K has always been hit and miss with HDR. they don’t implement it well like other games. For me so far it looks good. no washed out colours. Looks really lifelike.

If you have a 4k tv under $600 it's not going to look great. HDR doesn't look that good until you are in like $700 territory. For most tvs at least

I don't have the game yet, but that comment above should be a reference point for everyone posting in this thread. We have a cheapish HDR set (my son's)...a very nice QLED (mine)...and a very expensive monitor with HDR 1000 (bought it for work, sort of ...and the differences are dramatic between the cheap one and the expensive ones.

You really need QLED HDR on a fairly decent screen to get the most out of HDR. And then it is stunning.

Re: Visual Settings Next Gen HDR on or Off

I've got to the point I just turn off HDR. So many games are hit and miss with it and takes so much fine tuning on a case-by-case basis that I just don't find the "benefit of HDR" worth it.
