Asus VG278Q - GameVisual presets,is there no way to disable?
Posted: 04 Mar 2019, 17:48
I recently bought an Asus VG278Q monitor and trying to configure it for proper black levels & white saturation using Lagom.com 's LCD test images.
The monitor has 7 "GameVisual" picture presets to choose from such as Scenery , Cinema , RTS , FPS etc. the problem is each of the modes have a big impact on gamma, black level, white saturation etc. for example Scenery mode has severe white crush to where only the 1st test image is visible on the White Saturation screen, Cinema mode has severe black level crush etc. Ive tried choosing one of the modes (FPS preset) and then tweak it using the Nvidia control panels display settings but im still left with improper gamma, every mode seems to have problems in one or more areas.
The only mode that looks proper is the sRGB preset but this one has most of the monitors settings locked down so you can't adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness etc. and so although you're left with a very accurate picture it's VERY dim, the brightness setting is locked at almost the lowest level.
Im confused why Asus didn't allow us to disable the GameVisual presets altogether and let us adjust it monitor from more of a 'flat' scenario?
I also have a Dell D2719HGF which has several picture presets but within the preset menu theres an "Off" setting which is how it comes from factory and made it easy to tweak for proper black / white saturation & gamma.
