How to set up HDR in Control

  • Open the game’s own HDR calibration (Settings → Display/Video) — it overrides the system calibration, so set it per the on-screen patterns.
  • Set brightness to your panel peak; the red Hiss corruption and bright office strip-lighting are the test scenes.
  • Decent HDR — the brutalist interiors with ray-traced reflections look great on a bright panel.
