    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    I use Dark Mode in almost all situations on WOLED (LG 48CX, 42C2), including Windows UI, websites, and UWP apps. I am very sensitive to text fringing and don't notice fringing at all during routine use. I use the TVs as my main PC monitor (work, study, and gaming). When I get close and really...

    Help improve Windows subpixel text rendering for QD-OLED/WOLED monitors by supporting "ClearType 2" PowerToys project

    There are two major ways to prompt Microsoft to improve subpixel text rendering on OLED monitors in Windows to eliminate chromatic aberration (text fringing) and improve sharpness. #1 Please support ClearType 2 GitHub. It is being spearheaded by BlurBusters founder and has a concurrent GitHub...

    Windows 11 SDR Content Brightness

    I've been doing some further investigation into the Windows 11 SDR Content Brightness setting. It seems that the SDR Content Brightness actually controls the SDR reference white level (Paper White) and thus controls the SDR reference white level for Auto HDR. Microsoft stated that the minimum...

    I have the SDR OLED Light at 60 in a pitch black room, so approximately 300 nits. I just use it because that's what the isf Expert Dark setting was and seems comfortable to me. I could probably get used to a lower OLED Light setting if I left it there for a few days. Not a huge difference overall.

    Very nice setup, and the ambient lighting probably helps a lot. I don't have much space in my office so when I'm gaming I have to sit back with a lap keyboard and mouse tray, lol btw, you really don't find using Windows at 100 nits too dim? I recently had a chance to look at a Sony LCD TV and...

    Actually, I've been tinkering around with settings some more and I found that if I turn DTM/HGiG Off, then the raised blacks in HDR/VRR no longer occurs and I can keep Brightness at 50 and maintain black detail. Edit: Furthermore, if you have DTM or HGiG on, the color contrast is degraded as well.

    I am doing that now and I am finding I am starting to adjust. It's probably not healthy for me to be viewing so much blue light anyways.

    Sometimes I feel like I'm crazy or there is something wrong with my eyes. I can't imagine how the reddish whites on Warm2 can be accurate, not that I am disputing their accuracy. The bluish whites on Medium/Cool temperatures and Standard/Vibrant modes look much better to me. That's why I chose...

    Yeah, I agree with you on those points. -The OLED light level could be adjusted down with little compromise, I was just leaving it at default. -I believer there is increased risk of burn-in using Vibrant color and color temperature settings due to higher saturation assuming you keep static...

    I intend to use this monitor for general PC use and have been reading a lot of people's suggestions. Edit: I originally posted some settings per personal preference, but I don't want to mislead anyone and have decided to just list the most color accurate settings per others' recommendations...

    Thanks, I appreciate your input. It's difficult to read through the AVS Forum thread, especially since there isn't a search option for the massive thread. My main goal was to get rid of the washed out black background I use on Windows 10 when HDR +/- VRR is enabled. I think just lowering the...

    LG 48CX

    I'm certainly no expert either and I don't know which solution is preferable: changing black level or just lowering the brightness. I haven't noticed any image problems in my commonly used apps/games by using Black Level Low in HDR mode, although it does negatively impact image in SDR mode...

    Hey, I wanted you to know, I posted over on AVSForum a solution to raised blacks with HDR. I could correct it by either setting the Black Level to Low or keeping Black Level at Auto but lowering the brightness to 46 (VRR On).

    Windows 10 HDR with Gsync off also causes raised blacks just by itself but HDR + Gsync is significantly worse. I cannot notice any difference between SDR with or without Gsync enabled in black levels. I've noticed that the black sidebar in LG's menu remains perfectly black in Game HDR mode, so...

    So what is current status on raised black levels when using Windows 10 HDR + VRR (Gsync)? SDR with Gsync seems perfect.
