High dynamic range (HDR)

Enable HDR output[4]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. Add the following lines:
[SystemSettings]
r.HDR.EnableHDROutput=1
r.HDR.Display.OutputDevice=5
The game must be running in DirectX 11 mode as well as in Fullscreen mode.
See the official UE4 documentation for what these specific lines do. Note that Dolby PQ is more commonly known as Dolby Vision, and a Dolby Vision capable monitor is required for those modes.
As obvious as this might seem: don't enable this if your display does not support HDR, otherwise the colors and textures will get messy.

Anti-Aliasing (AA)

Disable Anti-Aliasing
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini with a text editor.
  3. Add [SystemSettings] and r.DefaultFeature.AntiAliasing=0 to the bottom of the file.
  4. Save the changes.

    Playing borderless, centering the mouse cursor in the menu, then zooming in with the hotkeys with increments of 5% produces good results.
