HGIG is a standard that aligns HDR game output with the TV’s capabilities without double tone‑mapping. On LG OLED, enabling HGIG in Game Optimizer tells the TV not to add extra tone mapping so the console or game can manage highlights correctly.
When to use: prefer HGIG for accurate creator‑intended highlights after running your platform’s HDR calibration (PS5/Xbox/Windows). If you want a brighter, punchier look at the cost of potential clipping, try Dynamic Tone Mapping instead.
