Seeing how many variations of responses she has to being blinded. So far I've heard 4.Ray Reconstruction in a better comparison:

And new HDR, this time spent more time tweaking the settings for HDR and man, in areas like this it pops. True Black 400 mode on the monitor is the most accurate across the entire panel, and to my eyes is more pleasing than the peak highlights of 1000 nits mode. It is known though that the AW3225QF has a better black level range when in the 400 mode so this makes sense.

Is this game locked at wide-screen? My monitor is a slightly weird resolution of 3840x2560 and that option is available in the list of resolutions in game but when the game loads up it's still letterboxed 16:9
I've also tried forcing the resolution in the steam parameters but it stays the same?

Quite likes this game, the atmosphere is nice, graphics are very good, performance is a bit meh, I had DLSS Balanced, I went into advanced and set rendering to 50% (not sure if I should have or if it does anything) and I'm not sure if that made much performance difference, I'm streaming from my desktop to my Ally onto my TV at 4k 60, performance was around 60 sometimes below but that seemed ok. Wouldn't mind frame gen, perhaps might try lossless scaling.

The main issue is traversal stutter I think.
I'm 6 hours in, at the hospital.
Never played Silent Hill 2 before (despite being a big Playstation gamer back in the day) so am enjoying it. It's not dissimilar to Resident Evil 2 remake really.
Though with less action I guess.

It's a non standard res, could be UE5 isn't scaled for such a resolution, you could try the fix geared for cutscenes which may apply to gameplay as well:
Release Silent Hill 2 (2024) improvements · RoseTheFlower/UltrawideIndex
The solutions remove the black bars in anything other than 16:9 and fully unlock the FPS from 30. Instructions: Download the latest version of the preferred archive(s) below. Unpack to \SHProto\Bi...

It turns out resolution scaling setting makes no difference if an upscaler is being used, so using DLSS makes the scaling setting defunct.
I'm 8 hours into the story and also half way through the hospital, it is now night outside and the hospital has power, it's a different experience here now compared to the yellow sunlight shining through the windows covered in newspaper from earlier. According to Steam I've "played" 17 hours but I suspect the game's timer counts active playtime of the main story only whereas Steam counts the total hours inc how long the game has been open etc.
I like that James gets dirtier as time goes on:

You mean as the game goes on he gets more and more... suggestive?
My review is up, I think I covered all bases

Silent Hill 2 PC Review—The definitive way to re-visit the foggiest town ever seen
Online opinions were divided when Bloober Team released early footage of the remake. Many were sure it would be a failure, but in reality, it is easily GOTY material from what I've experienced.

That's just the accent
Fixed!
You don't!
Though there is a mod:
Classic Health Indicator
Changes the full on-screen blood effect to the classic cross indicator.

Coming towards the end of woodside, really enjoying it. Performance has held up well and stutters haven't been too bad for me. **** those leggy ********!
I did have a weird glitch where the game sort of froze after picking up an item, went to quit via desktop and game sprung back to life.
