If you have switch 2, you may remember to configure the HDR setting during the initial setup process. This is a big new feature for switch 2, as many modern games take advantage of HDR to increase their views. When correctly configured, the HDR game may look great. Unfortunately, it seems that it is quite difficult to configure the switch 2 correctly, and you would not have set properly until you are an HDR specialist.
If you remember the setup screen of switch 2, HDR settings presented you with two sun icons. You were instructed to increase the brightness of the screen until only one sun was visible. This can work for you if you have configured the right TV in the right setting, but if not, you may have been misled. YouTube channel hdtvtest this issue in one pigeon Video posted on MondayAs they explain, the switch 2 HDR “Sun” setting only actually works properly if your TV has a dynamic tone mapping set. HagigAn HDR standard with gaming in meditation. (Your TV can call it something like “game HDR”.) You can see the difference when the hdtvtest setting turns on and off: HGIG is disabled (or not present), you need to promote brightness Very To follow the instructions of Nintendo. With HGIG being enabled, it requires a very low glow to achieve the appropriate HDR settings.
But this is one of the only two settings pages on the HDR setup of Switch 2. On the following screen, Nintendo invites you to adjust the HDR reference white level, or paper white level – although the company just calls this “glitter”. If you moved very fast through the setup, you can also miss this screen, because you need to press Y button To pull the adjustment slider. HDTVTEST found that the default paper white setting produces a much higher flattering image than expected from HDR, even compared to SDR video.
But the paper white adjustment screen is dependent on the settings on the first HDR settings page with two flax. As you change the glow on that first screen, you change the volume of the slider on the second screen, which adjusts the picture. I am shining here on many technical details, but the brief answer is: these HDR settings are misleading, and not only you have highly dependent on TV, but you have configured that TV (and switch 2).
Can you calibrate HDR properly on your switch 2?
If we take HDTVTEST on their promise, it is No It is easy to set HDR correctly on your switch 2. First of all, you have to determine whether your TV supports HGIG. If this happens, be sure to enable the convenience, then re -do your switch 2 HDR settings. You want to carefully adjust the brightness on two sun tests until the sun on the right disappears. Click “Next”, then press Y button To bring paper white slider. For this phase, HDTVTEST recommends identifying the maxtml value of its TV, which can be found with an Xbox series X, then performs some mathematics to detect the appropriate position for the slider. If the number is less than 1,400, divide 6,000 by the number. This will tell you that the number of clicks you will have to transfer the slider. They recommend setting paper white levels on 200 NITs, but 250 NITs can work better for users playing in bright places.
What do you think so far?
For users without an HGIG TV, HDTVTEST recommends you to set your sun test 1,000 nits, and paper white settings to 200 NITs. Depending on the video, it seems that you can get the sun test by taking a few clicks and get it when the sun turns invisible to the right, then take the slider to about 40%.
The slider appears to be approximately 40% of the forward route.

Here is the matter. I have no way to measure NITS here, because I do not have an Xbox series x, nor do I have a separate tool to measure the specific glow levels of my TV. (I do not even have a switch 2, but it’s next to the point.) If you do not have a separate console, or do not feel like going through all these complex stages, then just to play your games as they were to appear, this is a disappointing situation. Nintendo was posted in SubredditAnd the discussion on this point has more than 300 comments, some are excited about the HGIG settings, others are asking about settings for their specific TV models, and others are still wondering if these recommended settings make their switch 2 perform very dark.
I am far from an HDR specialist, but when I essentially get a switch 2, I think I am going to perform my best with the information provided by HDTVTEST. My TV does not support HGIG, so I can compete with the sun test a little in the past where Nintendo is recommended, then set my slider where the video sets it, and calls it a day. If my picture is too much, I will probably play with sliders. But I think it generally talks about a great issue with HDR – compilations like nintendo, as well as performing manufacturers, need to find out these things at their end. This consumers should not be to become an HDR specialist and manually configure each and every setting to ensure that their games look perfect. We should be able to follow and play simple setup instructions.
