PS5 System HDR Settings

PS5 System HDR Settings

Before adjusting, make sure you have set the TV settings correctly.

For steps 1 and 2 in HGIG mode of your TV, get the symbol to become invisible. Try to find data about the peak brightness of your TV on the site RTINGS.COM. Knowing the peak brightness of your TV, you can check the values using the table:

Step, Clicks Brightness, Nits
0 106
1 124
2 144
3 168
4 195
5 222
6 258
7 305
8 353
9 401
10 472
11 546
12 631
13 731
14 842
15 973
16 1122
17 1295
18 1494
19 1727
20 1991
21 2299
22 2655
23 3075
24 3547
25 4106
26 4748
27 5393
28 6356
29 7364

If your TV always does Tone Mapping and it cannot be turned off, then this setup wizard is not relevant for your TV. In this case, set the value to a few thousand nits in steps 1 and 2.

For step 3, set the black level to minimum (0 clicks). If the image of the game seems too contrasty to you, then you can try increasing the step 3 value by 1-2 clicks up.

  1. Any idea what the numbers are for the PS4's calibration menu? Seems to be 14 notches from the far left is correct for me on an LG OLED B9 which is supposed to be ~600 nits. 14 just makes the logo disappear with HGIG enabled.

    2. Ah, no problem. Thanks for the resources on the site.

      With HGIG enabled you do want to increase the brightness in steps 1 and 2 until the logo just disappears, right? Or one notch below that where it's plainly visible?
