It's been 6 months since I got my first OLED. C1 to be more precise. I switched to HGIG as soon as I turned on my PS5 and I've been using it ever since. I did all the proper calibration but I wasn't actually seeing any improvements over my previous TV. I decided to switch to DTM a week ago and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I finally see the benefits of HDR and I won't be switching to HGIG ever again.

DTM basically turns your OLED into an LCD.

 

[Bavarian_Sloth]

Many developers seem to be slowly getting the hang of it.

After Requiem, Callisto Protocoll is the next game that implements HGIG optimally. The picture is absolutely on point.

With DTM on, the image generally appears overbright, especially visible in dark areas (basically the whole game, lol).

If this continues, HGIG will become my default setting

 

[Whitecrow]

Im not a fan of DTM either, but tried it a few times.
The general result as Bavarian_Sloth said, is overbrighten the image.

Some areas are suposed to be dark. Cranking up the brightness just for pop-effect doesnt look like something good to me.
Sometimes, in daylight scenes, the brightness increase can be perceidved as an improvement.

Still, too impredictable, and the most agressive way of deviation from 'creators intent'.

But at the end of the day, options are there for a reason, and as long as someone enjoyes any of them, it's enough.

HGIG is not useful in HFW as HDR isn't implemented correctly, OLED users should just use DTM and save yourself the hassle.

I believe this was fixed in patch 1.18. Go and recalibrate the in-game settings.

No It wasn’t as there shouldn’t be HDR settings in game if it was. Example MW2 and ratchet and clank follows HDR calibration from system.

The problem isn't really with HGIG but that the majority of OLEDs have too low peak brightness. On a really good LCD, using tone mapping off or HGIG will produce a great result if the game has a good build in tone mapper. But using DTM on an OLED does make a lot of sense due to the lower peak brightness. I'm eagerly awaiting the day we see OLEDs managing 1500-2000 nit with at least 500 or so sustained for full screen.

On my C1 I stick to HGIG for 99% of my games and just use someone like Evil Boris's HDR settings. Could it be more accurate / betterer? Sure, but I don't want to waste my life tweaking settings and pursuing absolute perfection in every game. It looks good enough. I'm not going to fuck with my TV settings either on a game by game basis.

The only game I have ever used DTM for is Hitman 3 because HGIG looked far too dim in that game. Developer intent be damned, i'll blow that brightness the fuck out because it looks so much better to me.

So, in 2025 HDR is still shit and you have to tune HGIG and DTM on a game per game basis? Lol.

No hdr is great.
I just dropped hgig completely even though is technically correct.
F that. It’s dim.

I just use dtm for everything. I calibrate games to 4000 nits since that’s what dtm expects ideally. Lg c1 tonemaps that to it’s 1k output

Dolby Vision is kinda proof why some closed standards are a good thing. No matter what when DV is involved it always looks great: but that's because you need a minimum brightness, contrast, color, etc to produce the output they want vs the open standard of HDR+ where edge lit TVs can call themselves HDR capable

There are No Dolby vision games. It’s a scam. Dtm is still the safest bet to use your tv too it’s Max

 

[Shaki12345]

In this day and age calibrating your screen on a game per game basis isn't exactly user friendly or a selling point. This shit should work automatically or from within the console.

I'm a purist and HGIG should be the way to go, but if I really have to adjust it per game then fuck that shit and DTM all the way.
