HDR gaming can look amazing, but it can also look washed out, too dark, or just plain wrong if your TV and console settings aren’t aligned. In this video, we show you how to set a clean HDR baseline in Game Mode, explain HGiG vs dynamic tone mapping, and walk you through HDR calibration on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Follow the steps in the right order and you’ll get HDR that looks more consistent across games, without constant tweaking.
