Hi,
I have an Asus (harmon/kardon) 27" EyeCare external monitor connected to my MacBookPro. I was curious if there is a way to reduce the intensity/brightness of the white color without reducing the overall brightness setting of the monitor (which would make everything darker). There are settings for
Blue Light Level
Color Brightness
Color Contrast
Color Temp
Splendid (with options, Scenery Mode, Standard Mode, Theater Mode, Game Mode, Night View Mode, iRGB Mode, Darkroom Mode)
Image Sharpness
Image Trace Tree
Image Aspect Control
Image ASCR
Image Adaptive-Sync
But I can't seem to find a setting/combination of setting that only reduces the white brightness setting.
Thanks, - Dave
Any way to make the white color less bright without dimming the overall monitor brightness?

This is typically the purpose of the contrast setting. But on lots of new panel types such as LG Nano IPS, the whites are blinding, overly bright no matter what you do because they started making panel films too thin (which is probably one of the reasons they have enormous eye strain).laredotornado wrote: ↑01 Feb 2024, 13:21But I can't seem to find a setting/combination of setting that only reduces the white brightness setting.

Is there a year when they started the use of thin films?
Re: Any way to make the white color less bright without dimming the overall monitor brightness?
Like I said in another post, it's probably the transition from standard a-SI panels to LTPS. They pushed LTPS for power savings in cell phone displays and now all these plants are pushing these thin film cell phone type panels onto larger 27" monitors. So you have increased eye strain from both thinner films + more abrasive, overly wide gamut backlighting at the same time.
If there's a large market for mindless cellphone zombies, then that causes all the plants to focus on building LTPS screens for these markets. Then they also say "well, these thinner films can produce faster response times so we'll put them on 'gaming' monitors and every other type of monitor we sell too since we retooled our plant to only build panels for cell phone screens." And now nobody can look at any of these screens without getting a headache.

Hello,
I have the same issue with my LG 27GR83Q-B. I have no problems while gaming. But once I am on a browser, the white background is piercing my eyes. And when I switch to dark mode, this time the white letters become uncomfortable for my eyes. I am already at the lowest brightness and looking for ways to fix this.

Have you considered clamping the color gamut to sRGB?Gguard wrote: ↑14 May 2024, 12:04Hello,

Hey, unfortunately sRGB mode on the monitor doesn't help. I am using the reader mode with the lowest brightness at the moment. I have my doubts about the calibration I copied from the rtings, maybe I should start experimenting with the Contrast value.
