Its a good thing to take your time in the menus especially on a new console.

"hidden" is crazy

Set it to +5 clicks from the left for 200 nits, which is what you want for accuracy. Set to +9 its 300 nits so maybe go to that if your room is very bright, though perceived contrast and perhaps highlight detail will be negatively affected if you do.

its bad menu design.
I didnt notice that setting the first time, but hdr looked off so I looked around then found that setting.

 

[CrustyBritches]

How is that hidden?

 

[kevboard]

I did indeed not see that option... that's some awful UI design lol.

gotta tinker with that for sure, because my mid tones are definitely way too high

 

[adamsapple]

Why is a setting like that hidden in the first place?

 

[Punished Miku]

Mine was a disaster so I turned HDR off for the system.

[damidu]

yeah that's some weird ass ui design, i didn't miss it though.

 

[delirium trigger]

It doesn't fix shit it just dims the game.

Also, turning HDR Output to "Compatible Software Only" may help with some games that don't actually support HDR as some non HDR games colors may appear off with the system trying to force HDR onto them

 

[Dacvak]

This is the first thing I did when I set up my switch 2 and my colors and contrast have been fantastic. I even use auto hdr on non-hdr games, and most of the time it's an improvement.

Though I can see how some people might have missed this setting.

 

[Kataploom]

I thought there was an actual hidden menu... I literally was messing around HDR and just read the text saying you can't press Y to edit the brightness... Maybe it's hidden for the people that don't read, IDK

These are my correct settings using measurements

Do people not check the settings of their new 500 USD device?
I'm baffled by this being labeled as "hidden".

 

[DeafTourette]

Thank you, Giga

 

[Jinxed]

It wasn't hidden, Nintendo eventually wanted to charge 10$ for it.

 

[Pop]

It's not so much as though it's "hidden" it's that the vast majority of casuals don't even understand these settings or how they may work in conjunction with their own TV settings.

Most people still have the preset display settings from when they initially bought their TVs and think the image looks "good enough".
