well you guys can continue to mostly ignore me but I can tell you (trying to help as usual) that what I've seen you guys go on and on about and the laborious results you guys may or may not have finally arrive to, has all been covered long ago (8 months ago) in my vids. I don't get why any one of you STILL need to wait for any "official kol" posting ANYTHING, just enjoy it.
That's how the monitor is. As some of you also said, it's not perfect. But I told you guys long ago to max both and forget it, it's a clear and no brainer improvement, it's why the feature is there.
I am playing exclusively with this monitor now, but i am interested in sharing my findings and seeing what others are saying about it. I am not trying to ignore you, but sometimes the way you type has me confused as to what you are trying to say. I'm not trying to be rude. I am just trying to make sure I understand you correctly.
So you're saying to max both the overdrive and backlight strobing to extreme? In another post, you recommended brightness and contrast both on 8. Wouldn't that be far too dim?
Was just talking about in general. Those vids aren't in english and I don't feel like doing them all over in english again. But still.
no. extreme already is brighter than 8 and 8 and off. u start from 8 and 8 that's your productivity/browsing brightness. also gamma is set to 2.6, lowest brightness. in the day time for browsing you need to up it to 2.2, for none hdr movies 2.0 or 1.8.
for gaming at night, extreme is actually too bright and causes fatigue, not to mention this not being a perfect monitor and those obvious trails (that is to say, the main image is more sharp but the blurry ones u could guess it but didn't have distinct ghost--but in game the ufo tests are obviously not equivalent, actually the bigger the hitbox the less relevant obviously..in fact ufo test is in itself very extreme, because there isn't much game out there that have insane speed AND small hitbox, apart from flying jets, which brings back to WT again, maybe it means a lot more to the russians and euro people playing in low ping servers and in tournaments, in arcade mode--even then dogfighting in close quarter or a close flyby is still gonna be a lot faster target image on screen, while the hitbox inevitably become bigger than in distance), best to watch movies and chill at night time or just go to bed.
This I have come to feel at home with. I don't know why you would instead want brighter in productivity where there's usually white spaces all over, and then have a dimmer experience in gaming. For the 180hz ROG I can't be bothered to recall if it was not much brighter for gaming, if so, that just meant I had to game at night +turn off lights more.
I don't know about premium TV or mobile screens, nor do I need to I feel. They are not relevant for the context of hardcore gaming, and this being an "ips" and "hdr 400 capable" has shown me that there is no real different from a TN. For a gamer, the only eye hurting thing is low hz. You can still have the liberty to feel that with a high hz monitor, just play in badly optimized gamespace, play with ultra high ping and/or bad internet routes, play all max graphics. For me, I set my colors to a yellow green hue too and I don't need to share that cus it's even more preference and someone will start to disagree for no reason again. In fact with this monitor I don't think I have set any colors and really ain't bothered to check again. I certainly have max blue filter as always (which also dims brightness but that's duh), it's not like I'm missing out on anything, HDR movies are always there. Like that's your so called "normal", it's just a brief thing, my eyes will hurt if I use that max brightness all the time, with 4k media and potplayer obviously there's too much information per frame compared to all low gaming. So yeah, it pretty much HAS to be high fps low rez low brightness, or low fps high rez high brightness, for now.
