The Nintendo Switch 2 marks a significant advancement by being Nintendo's first console with HDR support, though it comes with several quirks. Users are guided to adjust maximum peak brightness settings, but an essential 'Adjust Brightness' slider is somewhat hidden complicating the process. This slider impacts the paper white point crucial for achieving accurate HDR, as leaving it at default may lead to loss of detail in midtones. Additionally, enabling appropriate Dynamic Tone Mapping settings is necessary, along with selectively activating HDR for supported games to enhance performance.
When configuring the Nintendo Switch 2 with an HDR-compliant display, you'll encounter a screen for the maximum brightness level output, and an 'Adjust Brightness' slider.
The brightness slider actually controls the paper white point of the image, which is used as a reference for other HDR settings behind the scenes.
Leaving the 'Adjust Brightness' slider at default can lead to overexposing the HDR image, losing detail in midtones and shadows.
Dynamic Tone Mapping should be off or set to HGIG for optimal HDR performance; also ensure HDR only activates when playing supported games.
