Looking for the best OBS HDR settings for Elgato? After years of struggling to get proper HDR capture from a PS4 through the Elgato HD60 S+, I finally found the fix. If your HDR colors look washed out in OBS, it usually comes down to one specific setting—and it’s not what you’d expect.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to fix Elgato HDR colors and the exact P010 video format steps to get your gameplay looking perfect.

⚠ HDR NOTE: This video is encoded in HDR. If colors look flat or washed out, check YouTube quality settings and select the HDR option if available. YouTube can take time to process HDR content. If your device doesn’t support HDR playback, the SDR version is what you’ll see.
