HDR on PS5. Anyone know which settings to tweak (TV or Console) when in some games really dark scenes can have a kind of shiny grey quality in areas that are supposed to be black or more natural looking dark, dark grey. It's kind of like an reflective shimmer rather than grey or black at times.
Or are some games just badly tuned for HDR?
It was kind of driving me loopy trying to fix it within tbe PS5 HDR menu so I just gave up and turned the black level down a touch and adjusted gamma on the tv itself, but there must be another solution 🤷♂️

@JohnnyShoulder weird thing is, I'd seen a similar video by Vincent Toh. And I just think it's wrong for some reason. And I've seen other people saying how actually setting black to 0, even on an OLED is leaving them with poor results too. It certainly didn't fix anything when I tried it (I think it was already set up like that from a while back) so it was set like that when I noticed the issue in AC Shadows. And I was switching HGIG on, Tone mapping on, changing tv settings, changing in game values, and PS5 values and nothing really made that specific thing go away 🙈
It may actually be certain games though, but since changing the third HDR to maybe 5 or 6 up from 0 black, it has looked noticeably nicer in night time or shadowy gameplay. Haven't had a really dark curscene yet to see if the weird grey shimmer has been removed though. But it does seem lesser in regular play.
@Ravix yeah the one from Vincent Toh is the one i used I think, but is was about 20 mins so didn't wanna share it lol.
I don't recall noticing anything like you've explained with my TV, but it is not an OLED.
I remember HDR being a pain to get right when I had my old 4K TV with my OG PS4 (so no 4K just HDR). It took me an age fidling round with settings to get it right, and even then some games looked a bit dodge. When I got my PS5 all that seemed to be ok for me.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder yeah, I've not really noticed it for a while, so it might just be AC Shadows. And it's mostly in cut scenes at night with little to no candlelight, just natural light. Scenes where there are numerous blacks and grey tones, I guess.
I don't know if it's crush or something else (feels more like an unnatural shimmer where the grey is malfunctioning, so no idea what its called) but I find it hard to care about technical things unless it's glaringly obvious and I have to try and sort it 😅
What I will say is, apart from that initial small issue, the advanced Ray Tracing mode for that game is glorious. And I can't justify using performance mode or even balanced, yet 😱 never seen reflections so crisp on console.
