      Does this basically mean we should use True Black 400 for a brighter image overall + better contrast? That sounds like better image quality versus losing out on those peak highlights in a 2% window.

    Thanks for sharing a settings video! Do you or any viewers know if there is a color gamut difference between the 'User' and 'Display P3' Professional modes? The reason I was asking because I am trying to create a Content & a Gaming Screen Profile in the Gaming Intelligence app you can download. I can create a 'sRGB' or 'Display P3' profiles but you can't make one for the 'User' mode.

    • @tftcentral
      @tftcentral  2 місяці тому +2

      Yes User mode is a bit wider than P3 space at around 110% relative coverage and uses the full native gamut of the panel. The P3 mode clamps that back a bit to match the P3 space more closely. Covered in our review too linked in the description of this video

    Have a question, on which maybe you could shed some light. Having quite a problem when it comes to the monitors, which were released in the past decade - I get the feeling that my eyes and nose part are attempting to lift a car when I look the monitor(and there only a few monitors, which work for me. But nothing I could address to in terms of specifications).
    I did, however figured out that it's related to the led backlight. Last year I managed to buy a year 21 model of Samsung tv, to which I managed to get used to. But it happened only when I switched all of the lightbulbs in my house to the old 100w ones.
    Last "gaming"(I did try Dell's office monitor to have the same problem, if not worse) monitor was Samsung's G7 or something. There I noticed one thing - turning off gsync reduced the problem dramatically.
    This year I want to give OLED a try and wandering if I have a chance to move from a BenQ monitor, which I've used since 2012.

      If you viewed content like that which was designed for Adobe RGB colour space on a screen where you'd clamped the output gamut to sRGB, the colours would not be accurate or as intended. you'd really want the display's active colour space to be the same as the content you're viewing

    @TFTCentral. I just received my MPG 321URX and am having an issue with the HDR peak 1000 setting. Every time I turn on HDR in windows 11 and am on the peak 1000 mode, the screen becomes overly saturated with a yellow hue. I am able to use the peak 400 setting without issues. I have updated both the firmware (from 2/27/24) and my NVIDIA driver (from 3/5/24). I am running an RTX 4090. I am assuming this has something to do with the windows 11 HDR compatibility but would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

      For now the SDR and HDR modes don’t independently remember which “pro mode” you want for each, it’s a single universal setting. So if you want to use the sRGB emulation mode in SDR from Pc, you’ll need to manually switch that from sRGB to User When you play console games in HDR. there’ll be an update at some point which fixes the need to do that I’m sure

    * can you control brightness/color mode over DCC/CI ? (examples: Monitorian, TwinkleTray, ..). if so, also for HDR?
    * is there MSI software to control settings?
    context for these questions:
    my now older HDR screen does not allow me to change brightness in HDR mode via osd. Luckily i can change (reduce) brightness over DDC/CI even in HDR mode.

      @Dx-so7jm ok I think I know what’s happening probably. Imagine the game modes and pro modes were all in a single menu list instead of being split in to two sections. Whichever you activate last will be the one active. So make sure you’re selecting the relevant pro mode as the one active (ie user). Ignore the game modes.
      If you have HDR enabled all the time (not recommended) then windows desktop will actually emulate the SDR /sRGB colour space so that will explain why it looks less colourful and more dull. Certainly more so than if you were using user mode but in SDR with HDR turned off. But when you play actual HDR content it should render back in the full native colour space again as intended
