How you like it?

[@Andrewtst2009]

To me, if you are using your Windows 11 to HDR ON and you want the best HDR output, you should actually set brightness to 100, this sound insane and yes it is at beginning setup but later on you should change the Windows HDR setting of SDR content brightness by lowing down to eye level smoother comfort zone. I did this by changing the value to 11 for my Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 and value to 17 for my Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, default value of SDR content brightness is 40. Doing so you get the best output which not hurting your eye and HDR output can maximize the nits when needed as well. I know many people did not ever check the SDR content brightness in Windows HDR setting, give it a try and you will notice this setting is very important for monitor set Windows to HDR ON. This setting is not applicable if you don't have HDR monitor or you never set HDR ON. But if your monitor is having HDR feature, you should set HDR to ON if you also want all your streaming content manage to playback in HDR.

[@veduci22]

For changing brightness (or other settings) within OS I recommend some ddc tools like ClickMonitorDDC... I can change the brightness from daytime to nighttime setting with one shortcut or scroll of the mousewheel which takes fraction of a second...

[@BaronCAD]

Doesn't it bother you that the monitor (Cooler Master GP27U) doesn't support VRR and HDR at the same time? You turn on one, and it disables the other! Hardware Unboxed just did a review on that same model and rightly called that shortcoming a dealbreaker for HDR gaming.

[@ployth9000]

its getting fixed via a firmware update this month.

[@DarkP1]

none of these HDR monitors are good, they stamp HDR just for sales, but if you have experience HDR from a high TV is night and day difference, monitors are not on that level until OLEDs monitors which also fixes blooming and slow pixel transitions

[@ployth9000]

it supports it now with the firmware update that just released yesterday

I got a new monitor a few months ago and something felt... off. Spent ages tweaking settings, seaching what others were recommending, etc. and just gave up. Used sRGB, job done. think that's what I did on my old monitor too, it just looks so much better than everything being cranked too hard

@0:34 I think you meant "decrease opacity" or "increase transparency"

[@Xsetsu]

I have had amazing HDR experiences on Desktop. High-end VA or Oled is the only way you are going to get it though. IPS or lower VA panels will not give you the premium experience you want. Destiny 2 (still probably the best pound for pound as they use contrast like no other game) and most Sony Studio games (Spider-Man, Horizon, GOW, Days Gone) are some of the best HDR experiences on PC right now.

[@Wusyaname_]

Unless you have mini led ips, but blooming is pretty noticeable at night.

[@Xsetsu]

@@Wusyaname_ Yeah, not to say you can't get a decent experience on IPS, but a VA panel with Mini-LED or maybe Micro if we ever see that is still going to provide a superior contrast which is a must for HDR content. IPS has some really good advantages in certain areas like color reproduction; they do have some downsides though that just do not gel with HDR.

[@Wusyaname_]

@@Xsetsu when we get micro led, might as well go IPS tho. IPS is the way to go for budget end and mid range, but $800+, something like the g7 neo or Alienware QD oled is gonna be the way to go.

[@Xsetsu]

@@Wusyaname_ On a budget sure but I alluded to that already. Me personally I won't buy another IPS for gaming because of lackluster HDR performance. Even with Mini and Micro VA will still be better. The contrast is part of the reason Oled looks so great with lower brightness.

1:29 The suggestion for sharpness calibration is a bit vague. Can you recommend a systematic way to adjust it optimally?

[@kouhaiii3182]

check the sharpness with text or an image on screen, maybe both at thr same time. if the quality looks soft and blurry, increase sharpness. if the quality looks jagged and 'sharp,' decrease the setting.

[@BramBoender]

Appreciate it thanks mate

[@88Opportunist]

If you have a basic monitor DON'T just set sRGB and call it a day thinking you have the most accurate colour setting. I've got some cheap Chinese monitor and the sRGB setting has extreme red bleed, it's much better to use the RGB control and set a custom colour profile that tries to get close to what images look like on your phone for instance, or a more accurate monitor if you have one. You can get additional RGB control from monitor calibration in Windows (Colour Management in the Control Panel) if your monitor tends to favour a colour no matter what settings you use on the monitor itself. For instance this cheap Chinese monitor gives everything a sickly yellow tinge if just use the monitor to adjust RGB balance, I need to use additional calibration in Windows to achieve neutral whites and grays.

[@veduci22]

That's the problem of cheap monitors with their non-existent factory calibration not the problem of sRGB mode which has color temperature of 6500K for neutral whites...

Any references on the brightness not being "healthy for the eyes"?

[@veduci22]

Unnecessary bright image is tiring for the eyes, makes them dryer and leads to health problems like dry eye syndrome...

[@muinarc0]

Yeah I don't know where this came from. The old TV warnings about watching the tv in a well lit room have been debunked. This sounds like an excuse to sell more product to you. I watch A LOT of tv in a dark room, my brightness is set pretty low like he recommends "for your space". I looked for studies on this backlight/ambient light thing and found none.

[@brichardsonii7954]

Dear lord, is there some bad advice in this video. "Backlighting" monitors or any screens with over the top RGB effects absolutely destroy your eyes' and brain's perception of colour and contrast, ruining the picture quality in practical terms. The only way to correctly do what is called "bias lighting" is with pure white 6500k against a white wall and even so at a proper brightness level equivalent to roughly 10% of your screen's maximum brightness in nits. Don't even get me started on absolutely trashing any sort of sensible image quality with gimmicks like "Black Boost", etc. It's one thing to let people know what is scientifically correct or incorrect and then let them decide for themselves if they prefer their screens to be well calibrated or not on purpose. It's another totally different ball game flat out giving terrible advice as "the thing to do when you get a monitor". For actual image quality advice, you'd do well to spend some time browsing HDTVtest and Rtings instead of tech youtubers.

Those are different color spaces that the monitor can be set to. They affect ALL content.

[@StaySic4Ever]

The more options the better, or even better properly tuned in general out of the box and factory calibrated. The ambient lighting is a neat to have really. The local dimming monitors are quite a meh to me, they're severely overpriced, still have issues. To extra shame OLED is here for way cheaper even yet better in every way, especially response and proper HDR for sure.

[@bradhaines3142]

except price and reliability, where they're known to go bad every few years and still cost hundreds more than led

@@bradhaines3142 Reliability we'll see, QD-OLED is here and burn-in is lower for it. But still to early on the market to know how well. Price, really it's way cheaper than top of the line MiniLED monitors that are worse in every way. Just need to see more OLED monitors to start kicking.

[@graysonpeddie]

I wished my UPERFECT 15.6" Portable 4K OLED monitor had support for 4K at 120Hz, but nope. Mine can only do 60Hz. :( I once had a Samsung 43" QN90B 4K TV, but even if I tried 120Hz, I did not like the blooming that I get with that TV. Ugh... Can't stand the blooming. But once I go with OLED, who cares about 120Hz anyway? It's not like I can tell a difference due to my visual impairment and I do not play competitive games. I play games such as Portal 2, Ni No Kuni, Final Fantasy XII, and even not-well-known games such as Flux Caves, a realistically-looking 3D puzzle game that I enjoyed a lot. And even The Talos Principle. I once tried playing Quake II RTX which I enjoyed, but I'm not a good FPS gamer, let's just put it that way... I mean, it's a fun game, but I died a few times even in easy difficulty mode. It always comes down to skills and reaction time in addition to whether I can tell a difference between 60Hz and 120Hz or not... I mean, once I go with OLED, I would be much more happy sticking with 60Hz anyway. And oh yes, my UPERFECT 15.6" 4K OLED monitor is attached to my VIVO VESA mount adapter for tablets and portable monitor, which then gets attached to my Mount-It Single Monitor Arm Desk Mount. My 15.6" OLED monitor is very close to me and I love it a lot. Much easier for me to see compared to my 43" TV and even a 32" LG 4K monitor, although I used a 43" TV just for movies and TV shows in addition to PC usage. My 15.6" is perfect for my visual impairment due to field of view. Ever try to see the compass in the minimap in Final Fantasy XV? I cannot see the compass in the minimap even in a 32" 1080P or 4K monitor. That's because the gaming industry as a whole don't care about people with vision loss. With a 15.6" monitor, the compass is much easier for me to see because it's well within a field of view. The minimaps in Ni No Kuni and Final Fantasy XII is much easier to read compared to Final Fantasy XV. Maybe one day UPERFECT will come up with a new 4K at 120Hz monitor for gamers. Once I go with OLED, I will never go back to LCD. Even MiniLED is still LCD. :)

[@L1ghthouse]

I thought it was recommended to add the ICC color profile to get access to the entire color gamut of the monitor prior to calibration. Does the ICC profile not matter?
