How to set up HDR in Alan Wake 2

  • Open the game’s own HDR calibration (Settings → Display/Video) — it overrides the system calibration, so set it per the on-screen patterns.
  • Don’t push the calibration slider to 100 — it washes out. The community lands around 70–75.
  • Excellent moody HDR; its many dark scenes really reward an OLED.
