HGiG helps align HDR tone mapping with the intent of supported game developers. On compatible LG TVs, you can select HGiG in Tone Mapping Compensation while using Game Optimizer with a supported console connected by HDMI.
HGiG is available only in specific conditions. If the option is missing, greyed out, or the picture looks unexpectedly dark, it is usually related to the input connection, picture mode, or content compatibility.
Tone Mapping Compensation (including HGiG) is enabled only when the TV detects an active HDMI input from a connected device such as a game console.
Tone Mapping Compensation options are available only within Game Optimizer. If you are using a different picture mode, the HGiG option may not be shown.
Some consoles and game titles do not support HGiG, and behavior can vary by model and software. If HDR is not enabled on the console or the game is not running in HDR, results may differ.
HGiG can appear darker than Tone Mapping On because it reduces the TV’s dynamic tone mapping so the game’s HDR calibration can control brightness more directly.
