How to set up HDR in Death Stranding Director’s Cut
- ›Open the game’s own HDR calibration (Settings → Display/Video) — it overrides the system calibration, so set it per the on-screen patterns.
- ›Decima-engine HDR is muted by design — don’t crank paper white trying to make the grey landscapes “pop”.
- ›Set HDR Brightness to your panel peak and leave the rest; the look is intentionally restrained.
