Dissapointed with VS XG2401
Posted: 12 Apr 2017, 19:05
I finally bought it and the colors are washed up. It just looks too bright no matter what setting I set it to (as in "gloomy", I dont know how to describe it. It's specially noticeable when you read test on a white background, in reddit for example, the greyed out text like "submitted by" , "points" etc is a bit annoying to read). I feel as if when you wake up and don't wash your eyes. My eyesight is not perfect and I have dry eyes but I remember my former monitor being better. Everything has a "bright" tint. I have tried this:

Still no luck. I know TN panels have bad colors but I expected better, like I said I think even my old 2233rz had better colors so im pretty confused.
1080p video was also in my book sharper, and with better colors in the 2233rz.
Gaming is pretty good tho (at least quake, didn't bother testing any other game)
I tried the "Cleartext" thing and selected the text that I think looked better.
Do I have to download any drivers or something? it came without a cd.
My current settings:
Contrast: 65:
brightness: 10
User color: R 100 G 100 B 100
Viewmode: standard
Response time: advanced
Low input lag: ultra fast
"Displayport1.2" checked in "setup menu"
Everything else not stated here is set by default.
Btw, the speakers don't work (its supposed to have speakers I think?)
My GPU:

Is there any tests I can do to guarantee it's not bad calibration? Because im considering returning it to confirm it's not the panel. Geez just the thought of having to return it gives me an headache.
Please help
