@@AleksandreMzhavia Text is clear and from my understanding there is a fan but I cannot here it at all. I mean to the point I can't even tell you it has a fan for sure because I hear nothing.
So thankful for this! I thought you guys were snubbing this monitor since it has been out for a while and I haven't seen you review it. Thank you so much for all your hard work for this community🙌
How can people not be using FPS Mode, it is the best picture setting with -> Brightness 100 -> Peak Brightness: High -> Color Temp C10 (Rest no need to touch unless you want Oled protection on) Edit; I changed into same settings on Gamer 1 and ended up making a profile. The picture was dark and boring so had to turn up HDR brightness from 30 to 100 in Windows HDR settings. The colors/contrast seems tuned down. To get the clarity back I think sitting at 75 sharpness seems good. The picture is less living, but it looks more natural. Using the same settings as above. Remember turning on 10 bit color and 0-255 color range in Nvidia Control Panel. Gotta say after tuning Gamer 1 it made me feel more like home, but I have enjoyed the FPS mode since I got the monitor so will need to test further. Anyways I don't find any better settings than these. Have fun!
Because it’s hugely inaccurate, overly saturated and in that combination, overly bright. But having said that, if you like that setting that’s obv fine
@@tftcentral I can understand what you mean. But this monitor can work with that no problem compared to earlier ones. I find them both likeable in each way, its nice to be able to change the settings by 2 clicks. I love this monitor so much. It could be brighter but honestly i dont give a shit. It changes when you get in games, its just amazing 🤣 Sun is blending me in games so I'm curious on the new settings
@@tftcentral I turned of HDR in Nvidia Control Panel, it made a huge difference. Now I'm satisfied with Gamer 1 and the settings I mentioned. This monitor is legendary. Also keep Super Resolution on 4.
When I use these settings my white balance looks terrible. I can’t get it even close to being a normal white. I’ve compared it to my MacBooks white and it has either a yellowish tint or a blueish tint. No in between. Any ideas??
The settings at 480Hz are very limited, but I bought the monitor for 480Hz. Could you cover settings for 480Hz? What I really want is a way to disable VRR at 480Hz, but the setting is grayed in 480Hz mode.
I’ve not checked but I expect it’s greyed out as off rather than on isn’t it? If it’s forced on in the menu, just disable it from your graphics card menu on that side 😀
@@tftcentral It's forced on at all times in 480 Hz (greyed out as choice). Disabling it in Nvidia control panel, the monitor still reports it's operating in VRR mode. In 240 Hz, the monitor doesn't report VRR when it's turned off in Nv control panel. There's no flicker at 480 Hz with VRR turned on in Nv control panel. At 240 Hz, it flickers in VRR just like my 240 Hz 1440p LG oled. I don't think the VRR feature works at all at 480 Hz, but the monitor falsely reports it as on.
@jcnikoley yeah that seems the likeliest scenario if it’s reporting it on when you’ve disabled it from NVCP. Sounds like you wanted it off anyway, so that’s all good 👍
@@tftcentral Eh on OLED it looks identical to srgb mode. After tuning it with the slider in windows I can't tell the difference between srgb and HDR with sdr content. Feels like that article was written for lcd panels.
@BeHempy if you want to run it with HDR on all the time, that’s fine. I wouldn’t. You’re right that it can be less of an issue on OLED though, but not every screen behaves as nicely as the C2.
I guess possibly but it’s a couple of pixels at a time and fairly infrequent so unless you’re a pro gamer I doubt you’d ever notice it or see an issue with it in practice
I feel silly having to ask but at around 2:32 into the video you talk about the black stabilizer and how at the default setting of 50 blacks appear crushed could this vary per unit or is the 55-60 you recommended more than enough to improve them? what tests is there I could do to be sure 50-55-60 is enough? Thanks. Love the review btw. Had this monitor close to a month and really liking it. Definitely not going back to LED/LCD now :D
It could vary yes. You can use this test, let the display warm up a bit first then view the various grey shade boxes and tweak black stabilizer a bit from there if needed www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php
@@tftcentral cool, thanks. I'm finding I have to go much higher than 60. A value of 75 is looking good to me where each square is different. Might be able to get away with 70 though
It’s a little tricky to recommend OLED for a use case which involves a lot of static content, as there’s an increased risk of image retention. But if you’ve decided OLED is ok for you then it will certainly offer excellent picture quality. I think a 32” 4K model where there’s the higher pixel density and the improved text clarity would be a very wise choice though if you do
is the Monitor running the oled imagine cleaning automatically if i turn the Monitor off, like other oleds or do i have to run i manually every few hours? I have the standby feature off
My question doesn't directly relate to this video itself but rather the monitor in this video. I've noticed that ASUS has been getting a little preds on using the same panel in their version of a dual mode. But they offer ELMB. I don't really know how it works. So does it require a special video card or setting in the computer or is it completely In the monitor itself, I run AMD video card and I use Linux. So that's why I want to know about those things because ELMB could be really good for me where I'm sensitive to motion blur. Also, not sure off top my head, but the Asus might have a better written, explicitly stated, burning warranty than LG is offering last I checked. Have you had a chance or plan to take a look at the asus variant of this panel?
you are in luck, our review of the PG32UCDP has just gone live publicly here: tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus-rog-swift-pg32ucdp have a read and let us know if you have any remaining questions afterwards :)
You mean as reported by Windows HDR calibration tool? That will be a bug with the way it's reporting info sent from the monitor to the tool, but actual luminance will be different to what that figure shows on the screen - i mean it shows that for 100% full white window too i expect, which isn't realistic on an OLED. Just make sure you've set to 'high' peak brightness and you should be achieving up to 1300 nits peak for small APL %
@@tftcentral No, it's reporting 600 nits in windows and in the NVIDIA app. And doing calibrations both using windows and in games they clip at 600. you must disable dsc apparently and change some settings in cru to make it clip at 1300 nits. there are posts online about it. but I want to play at 240hz not 120...
Best way to do it then would be to just skip the Windows HDR calibration process. although even if you follow it, it won't really be clipping you at 600 nits....it won't impact the actual peak luminance being output by the screen, I've tried in the past to deliberately lower it using that tool and then re-measuring the luminance with a device and it doesn't impact it). It's just a bug with the figure being reported by the monitor to the app, quite a few of these new screens have the same issue.
The display of this monitor is awful. They need to fix their firmware or move toward a new OLED technology. Compared to QD-OLED black shadow detail is crushed badly. Was using my iPhone 13 Pro Max/Galaxy Tab S8+ displays to compare detail while using the Black Equalizer but couldn’t match the detail of those OLED displays. Returned this monitor and bought a AW3225QF and couldn’t be happier.
I have owned this monitor for a few weeks now and can I just say the speakers are a stand out feature of this monitor.
Is text OK? Does it have active cooling fan?
@@AleksandreMzhavia Text is clear and from my understanding there is a fan but I cannot here it at all. I mean to the point I can't even tell you it has a fan for sure because I hear nothing.
@AleksandreMzhavia yes and yes. More details in our written review linked in description

It was released quite a long way in advance in the Us but we had to wait a while to get our hands on one in the UK. Glad you enjoyed it 😀
I've had this monitor for months and really needed this 😅Thank you!
its been months thinking how to get this monitor :D
Thanks just got this monitor few days ago
Please do guide for the Samsung OLED G8 G80SD 🙏
We will soon
what about the Windows HDR Calibration app? that should be set up, too
Just got this monitor today and the settings you guys have ain’t it for me. Gonna have to tweak and test everything and find what I think looks best.
Need the g80sd one too

About the screen move feature, does it fuck my aim up in FPS games if the middle point of the monitor moves just a little bit every now and then?
I guess possibly but it’s a couple of pixels at a time and fairly infrequent so unless you’re a pro gamer I doubt you’d ever notice it or see an issue with it in practice

for the past 2 years i am using a 42inch c2 oled lg tv 120hz, should i get this or should i mind my business, tbh i have nothing to complain about it?
If you’ve got no issues with your current screen it feels like a potentially unnecessary splurge. But that is more fun 🤩
Was the black stabilizer adjusted before or after the latest update
All these settings were after the latest update. That black stabilizer may vary by unit so experiment
Did you test VRR flickering on this monitor?
All OLED's have VRR flicker sadly including this one. Refer to Rtings review.
is this worth getting over the Asus 240hz 4k >?

@@uncannygambit The first thing I did was install that firmware. It was awful with it, I can’t imagine how bad it was without that firmware.
