After playing FF7:R (great implementation) and Spider-Man (not so great), I was wondering what games really pop and what look underwhelming on a HDR enabled TV. So what are the best and worst case uses of HDR in PS4 games?
Not really. FF7R have impactful highlights but at the expense of washing out colors too much, it's not a good implementation. Not having an HDR calibration is also weird as hell, considering it doesn't use the system level one from the PS4 neither.
Anyways, HZD is a good one, and so is Shadow of the Tomb Raider, for example.
FF7 HDR is definitely not great. It's not the worst but I'd argue it looks much better without in day scenes.
FFVII doesn't have good HDR. It is better played in SDR.
Days Gone is the particular highlight from my experience, closely followed by Horizon.
Is that still bad? Didn't it get patched?
Really? I thought FF7:R popped especially in scenes with tons of light. I'll turn off HDR for my hard playthrough and compare then. Spider-Man definitely looked a bit bland though.
I don't think so, at least in my experience. Same on the Xbox too. Just have to go to the system settings and disable HDR every time I don't want to deal with a bad HDR implementation.
Destiny 2's HDR looks magnificent in brightly lit, colourful areas. Then anything even slightly shady has crushed blacks everywhere.

FF7R is excellent in displaying eyepiercing highlights, the problem is that it compromises the image. I would recommend you to watch Evilboris analysis, I thought FF7R was good too, until I saw his explanation, which makes total sense.
Yeah, I managed to get it looking better once I realised that but it still has issues. I hope that the next gen upgrade improves things.Destiny calibration settings is literally broken. You're not supposed to touch the black level calibration tool, only the white (and also set the SDR brightness at default, because somehow it affects the HDR mode too).
This a great video, are there any more like these that analyse HDR in games?

I've never found it a problem in MP/warzone tbhDo you mean modern warfare campaign? Cause it's real hard to see opponents with it on in MP / Warzone. Theres too much shadows

Speaking of HDR, can somebody explain the difference between 2160p YUV420 Vs RGB and why my PS4 Pro bugs out when I pick RGB? I can't seem to find a concrete answer.
Whenever I tried to hdr, the input lag was too much. Am I missing something?

Never heard of HDR causing lag, it's just extra metadata. What TV are you using?
Sony X720e
