NHL 18 brightness fluctuations PS4 Pro

I have a 4K OLED C7. Auto Dimming, etc is turned off, tried to lower the sharpness setting like people have suggested elsewhere, didn't work. It only happens on my PS4 Pro and not XBOX one or any oth...

    The way HDMI works is likely slightly different on XB1 and PS4 and it is possible this auto dimming is not totally removable.

    Try connecting your PS4 with the HDMI cable you use for your XB1, this has a low probability of fixing the issue.

    Are you running the TV in 'Game' mode? Since Getting a 4K HDR TV myself, I have found the guys over on Rtings seem like they know their stuff.

@casdevils2k

It is possible that turning off Auto Dimming does not completely disable it.

Try this:

"ABL is less of an issue if the OLED light setting is set to 35 or less, where the fluctuations between scenes will only drop by 20 cd/m2 or less."

Found that here: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/c7-oled

Let us know here if setting the OLED light setting to 35 or below on your TV helps, thanks.

I will try this later tonight. I currently have my OLED light settings in game mode at 100. I like it bright. 35 seems extremely low?

I wonder why this is because every other EA game is fine at my 100 setting? Madden 18 pre HDR update was fine at the 100 setting along with other non-HDR games.

    It probably has to do with the large bright white area that is on-screen most of the time I'd say.

      That's a great point. Makes sense actually.

      My biggest fear is I want the game to pop and not be too dark. Perhaps rasing the Gamma will help too.

      Will keep you posted. Thanks so much!

        You are welcome.

        If I had that TV, I too would hope and expect it to be really amazing.

      So this did not work. Going to 30 is just way too dark. I bumped it up to around 50-60 and it "stings less" but is still too dark. One thing I noticed is if I do some of the overhead camera angles, it goes away. It only happens when I use  close ones e.g. dynamic low, medium, or action cam, ice, etc.

      Any other suggestions? Like i said, this only happens for NHL 17/18 on PS4/PS4 Pro, not Xbox One or One S.

      So, there is something going on with the playstation and my TV because loading the same game on my XBOX one S works fine.
