Not an expert in anything, just some guy who likes PC and Home Theatre. Because of that i can probably give some useful information that other C2 users don't have access to. And i do have a colorimeter so i'm able to do color and brightness measurements. I've been using the C2 as my main monitor almost a year now. These settings essentially disable double tonemapping that would otherwise lead to clipping in shadows or highlights)įeel free to ask any further questions. (Yes, the TV obviously can't do 800 nits in peak or fullscreen, but these are the values you're aiming for with HGIG. Paper white (also called UI brightness in some games) = 100 nits If the game supports HDR settings, you should set it to the following: Leave the other color, saturation and brightness sliders at their default position. Turn sharpness down to 0 in the picture settings, as HDR picture modes have it at 10 by default. Turning the TV brightness to 100 nits peak also essentially completely disables ABL for SDR useage. This results in around 98 nits on my unit. If you aim for 100 nits SDR brightness like i do and want to keep HDR enabled all the time, set the SDR conversion slider to 5. As a bonus this app also works as a virtual wifi remote and can turn the TV on and off depending on what your PC is doing (shutdown, sleep, wake up, etc.) You can do all that without buying the service remote. I left logo dimming, pixel shifting and ABL enabled for some burn-in protection.

I also installed the Color Control software and disabled the global auto dimming (where the picture gets darker over time), as it was a bit distracting when using the forum for example. (gradient handling is worse in 10 bit or 12 bit modes, so make sure to use 8 bit, even in HDR).

In Nvidia driver settings set it to 3840x2160 120Hz 8bit RGB. (50 is recommended by most reviewers, but to reach the optimal 6500K whitepoint i had to turn it down to 42 with my unit) Also in the color settings, set the tone mapping to HGIG for the most consistent experience across different HDR games. In color settings, set the white balance to warm 42-50. Leave everything else alone in game optimizer settings. Other than that, set it to game optimizer and set prevent input delay to boost. I set the color space to "native" (basically DCI-P3) because i'd rather have a bit of oversaturation instead of undersaturation. My unit had a bit of undersaturation on desktop when HDR was enabled and the color space in the TV was set to Auto. DISCLAIMER: The following isn't meant to copy and paste already posted information (in the videos), but are the optimal settings i discovered based on my experience with my own C2.
