Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) & Warzone - HDR Optimized Settings
Added 2022-03-15 16:01:02 +0000 UTC
The game is NOT using/applying Xbox/Playstation HDR Calibration app settings.
The game has a very good HDR implementation offering a multi-step in-game HDR calibration, even if not specifically in nits.
In all cases set the first screen about HDR Black Point setting to: 0.00
then proceed to the second screen
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
- Set HDR Whitepoint slider to: 0,91 (which is around 4.000 nits)
> you're using HGIG:
- Set HDR Whitepoint slider to: 0,73 (which is around 800 nits) or 0,76 (for G2; 1.000 nits) or 0,8 (for G3)
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
- Set HDR Whitepoint slider to: 0,76 (which is around 1.000 nits);
> you're using HGIG:
- Set HDR slider to one of those values and the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits":
In the main menu there is also a general "HDR Brightness" which is a gamma/midpoint setting. Leave it to 1.0000 (Default) as it already corresponds to a balanced/correct exposure and gamma.
BONUS:
- Disable Film Grain: to improve both clarity and contrast of the picture.

You are correct. Playing through the campaign now (for the first time). Shocking how good it looks with a no fuss HDR implementation. Atmos / DTS:X Spatial audio for this game is spectacular too.

2024-11-23 09:33:17 +0000 UTCThis game has both a hdr brightness curve setting which defaults to 1.0 and the hdr calibration setting which I configured for my g4. Not sure if the curve setting needs adjusting

2022-04-15 14:39:43 +0000 UTCIn Warzone have really bad visibility with these settings.. tried HGiG and DTM bith, feels like SDR even better visuals

2022-04-15 14:38:51 +0000 UTCFrom a picture quality point of view, the settings above are already the best possibile. Just make sure to also use the suggested setting for the HDR Game preset and maybe play it on 120fps + 120hz on XSX for even lesser input lag.
