Asus XG27AQDMG Discussion

just disable VRR on any game that flickers heavily bro, VRR is still highly beneficial on games that don't flicker and like RealNC said, editing stuff on CRU just means VRR isn't working correctly

Yea, I reverted it back to the original settings. I will turn off VRR depending on the games, thanks.

Thank you. I'm currently running it in Racing Mode with Wide Gamut color space. Would I still need to adjust the sRGB?

Yes. I don't know if the AMD driver will automatically disable the clamp when switching to HDR though or whether you need to disable it manually.

Also note that if you installed the "monitor driver" and have the Asus ICC profile active in Windows Color Management for the monitor, you will get double-clamped in some cases. So check there to see if it installed a color profile.

I don't think I ever caught it blinking, but who knows. Would the notification for pixel cleaning still come up if it ran prior to the notification timer?

I wouldn't worry about it. I just run pixel cleaning every 4 to 5 hours on average. I bound the right direction of the control stick of the monitor to the pixel cleaning function so I can quickly run it when I leave my desk.

Also, the Auto Logo Brightness setting doesn't seem to really do anything? I can't tell the difference.

You need something bright to see it (like bold, full-white text.) It will dim it after 2-3 seconds. Brightness will jump up again if you disable it. In games, this has the negative effect of dimming bright highlights if you look at them for more than 3 seconds. If you don't mind that, then you can leave it enabled.

So I deleted the ASUS ICC profile that I downloaded from their website and now I'm using AMD's Adrenalin color setting and it's indeed less saturated than before. I will check if the AMD driver settings are applied in HDR mode.

Thanks, I did the same. I guess it does run on stand-by because I'm already at 27 cleanings.

In regards to SRGB, the best way to clamp the color settings would be at the hardware/monitor settings, correct? And then would it be at the driver level or Window's ACM (Auto Color Management)?

Is there anything in Windows 11 that can check the current SRGB accuracy? Thanks for your time.

Every time the monitor goes into standby mode, ~2 mins after pixel cleaning runs. The logo on the front of the monitor will flash orange during this.

I don't allow this because it means pixel cleaning can run ANYTIME you leave your computer for more than a few minutes, so I have instead set a black screensaver to show. That way I can leave my monitor anytime I want, the pixels will turn off any pixel cleans will only happen when I want them to

Is this interruptible? Normally when you run a cycle manually, you need to wait. If it starts on its own during stand-by, does it abort if you like move the mouse to wake up the screen again?

I don't think so, but I haven't used standby mode in a while now so not 100% sure. You can test it bc it's only a couple mins after the monitor turns off it starts the pixel clean

Hi, is there a way to ease color banding on amd ? I think that amd has dithering enabled by default but changing from 10 bit to 6 bit doesn't do much for color banding, I also contacted asus support about it and after a lot of talking they gave me a test firmware which slightly improved it in some tests but it's still visible, since novideo_srgb doesn't work with amd is there another tool to try ?

I have a weird problem and i dont know if normal but when i turn off the monitor my Oled time track still counting, and when i turn on my monitor sometimes have burn in, it doesnt make sense at all but looks like my monitors isnt shutting down, its normal?

Can you share the firmware with us to try it?

Hi all,

So i bought the XG27AQDMG

Its sharp, black is black colors are vivid and nice but then a play a game like Elden Ring

There is an issue no matter what i tried it's still there the best way i can describe it is:

"there is a purple hue specially noticeable on branches, certain walls in specific angle, grass, trees, spider webs etc even on the character it self" It's there but extremely noticeable but enough to annoy the hell out of me. Did NOT had this issue with my excellent Eizo FS2735 monitor (IPS)

Changed screen frequency, played with the OS settings went from 8bit to 10bit changed cables ie hdmi then displayport. Nothing seems to work.

I use a AMD 9070 XT (XFX 9070 xt Mercury magnetic air oc)
This nonsense is pissing me off paid good money for it.
And yes i am using the latest driver ie "MCM104"

So what is causing this?
