Diablo IV - HDR Optimized Settings
Added 2023-03-19 15:05:35 +0000 UTC
The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation or PC HDR Calibration app settings.
The game has suffered from severe black level raise since launch, but now it has finally been fixed starting from Season 3.
If you had adjusted your TV "Fine Tune Dark Areas" setting to compensate for the raise (e.g. -25) set it back to normal (-4), same thing for Black Level adjustments outside VRR.
With black levels finally fixed, the game has a good HDR implementation now as it provides an in-game Peak HDR Luminance slider (up to 4.000 nits) and other HDR controls.
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
- Set Black Point slider to: 0.0000 or 0.0001 (nits; the lowest between the two);
- Set Brightness slider to: 250 (nits);
- Set White Point slider to: 4.000 (nits).
> you're using HGIG:
- Set Black Point slider to: 0.0000 or 0.0001 (nits; the lowest between the two);
- Set Brightness slider to: 250 (nits);
- Set White Point slider to: 800 (nits) or 1.000 (for G2) or 1.500 (for G3).
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
- Set Black Point slider to: 0.0000 or 0.0001 (nits; the lowest between the two);
- Set Brightness slider to: 250 (nits);
- Set White Point slider to: 1.000 (nits);
- Lower the TV Brightness to your liking.
> you're using HGIG:
- Same but set the White Point slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits".
Enjoy :)

2024-10-10 20:42:21 +0000 UTCI lowered the the in game SDR brightness since it said to lower the brightness until the logo was barely visible

2024-10-10 20:36:51 +0000 UTCUse default SDR settings and then RTX HDR on top

2024-10-10 14:43:00 +0000 UTCCan you give a recommendation for the in game SDR brightness setting to use with RTX HDR? (How many clicks to from the left). Want to get the best black level
William Z
2024-10-10 13:10:57 +0000 UTCYeah, the game is still bad HDR wise, especially now with the new expansion. For me the best is disable HDR in-game and stick with RTX HDR at the moment.

2024-10-10 06:31:57 +0000 UTCTo me blacks are still raised in this game. Just doenst quite look right. Native HDR looks the worst to me, but auto HDR and RXT HDR are both a bit better. Special K HDR isnt working for me at all with the new expansion installed. At this point willing to try about anything to make it look better

2023-09-17 12:44:41 +0000 UTCDo you feel as if the black level issue is fixed currently? When I have my RGB levels set to low/limited on my LG C2/PS5 as per the 2017-2023 guide instructions, it seems as if the black level raise is fixed. Would you still recommend -25 for Fine tune dark areas, or -4 as per your old chart? Apologies if it wasn’t fixed. This is a game I plan to play for a while, so just wanted to check. Thanks!

2023-07-12 20:36:04 +0000 UTCSi, credo un bug solo visivo allora. Mettilo il più basso possibile. 802 e 800 sono identici, quindi se vedi solo 802 metti 802, ma solo se usi HGIG, altrimenti metti 4.000

2023-06-07 21:03:39 +0000 UTClo sto giocando da pc e noto che sia il primo step che il secondo sono 0.0001 quindi immagino sia un bug grafico e il primo sia 0.000 ...anche 800 non c'è, posso mettere 802
Michael
2023-06-07 21:00:10 +0000 UTCSì, dipende dalla versione. Su PC si può scendere fino a 0.0000, ma non importa. Mettilo più basso che puoi ;)

2023-06-07 20:43:34 +0000 UTCciao paolo, io max posso lasciare punto di nero a 0.0001....non va a 0.0000
Michael
2023-06-07 20:40:23 +0000 UTCIt's very bizarre that they almost fixed HDR for this build, but not entirely. Not quite sure how that happens lol. Hopefully by the game's full release it'll be *fully* corrected.
