Benq EL2870U HDR too bright with XBOX?

For my Series X I bought the monitor mentioned above. Unfortunately, the games look way too bright with active HDR10 mode.

Can it be adjusted?

When I turn off HDR, the colors look better.

Can someone maybe give me some tips on how to get the setup right for a console?

This is often a science in itself.

There's a kind of test image mode on the Xbox to set the monitor or TV accordingly.

To do this, go to the settings. Under General you will find TV and display settings. Calibrate the option HDR for gaming in the lower middle.

I hope this helps you further.

Otherwise, as a rule of thumb for HDR, set the background lighting and the contrast to maximum, or rather too much than too little. The brightness is not too high for this, but it is a matter of adaptation and varies fundamentally depending on the screen.

In addition, you set individual options such as luminosity or paper white yourself in each HDR-capable game.
