Well long story later I ended up enabling HDR and fine tuning my calibrations. After I got my LG CX I realized I was lied to. It never set right with me though, HDR is supposed to be different enough. When you put the HDR setting on the monitor only it is slightly brighter and sharper than SDR (and SDR is supposed to be phenomenal on this monitor) so I believed him.

When I called Acer support they told me the monitor had its own algorithm and not to enable HDR in windows or console or it would double interpret. I too thought things were way too washed out. As it is for most the time I owned the monito I wasn't using HDR correctly. I've been playing with the settings on this monitor for months second guessing myself. This is the only thread I could find discussing settings for this monitor so I hope people are still looking. For gaming, it really is great technology. Hopefully we see better HDR support going forward, as I would like to utilize it more often on my OLED display as well. The only issue with this idea is that there are still integrated Windows applications that wouldn't support HDR, and those would still look washed out in their individual application windows, but that would still be a far better compromise than the current solution. This would force the desktop and settings to utilize HDR. I would imagine they could build a Windows theme around HDR content, and have it enable the moment you enable the HDR settings. As for the HDR issue with Windows, I agree entirely. For the most part, you should be fine to eyeball it using the sample images available on RTINGS. I wouldn't recommend buying a color calibration tool unless you do work that requires extreme color accuracy. I will check out the RTINGS site you provided. I don't know if it is worth to buy this unless one is a graphic designer or something.

They stated I should buy this color calibrator and download software for it. I went to the Micro center store today and asked them about color calibration. Looks like this monitor can save these profiles. My computer is near a large window, which the sunlight would directly beam in the mornings. You're absolutely right about the ambient lighting. I guess games nowadays have settings to turn HDR on within games. I will keep HDR turned off in Windows unless I will view HDR content. You'd figure that they'd find a solution for that. That makes sense, even though it sounds ridiculous on Microsoft's end. More information on this can be found in the following resources:, , and. It's only recommended to enable HDR when you are preparing to consume HDR content.

When you enable HDR, non-HDR content (SDR, standard sRGB, etc) are going to look washed out in comparison.

I use an OLED TV for gaming, and I ended up calibrating multiple profiles, one for a dark room and one for a bright room, as the difference between the two can be staggering depending on the scene you are viewing.Īs for why your colors are washed out when enabling HDR, this is unfortunately a normal side effect of HDR. A screen calibrated in a dark room will look dramatically different than a screen calibrated in a bright room and vice versa. Īlso keep in mind that when you tweak your settings, your ambient lighting will impact your viewing experience. That said, they do have their calibration guide available to help you calibrate with their downloaded patterns. Normally I would recommend looking at RTINGS for their settings with this panel, but it doesn't appear they've reviewed this model as of yet. As you mentioned, this can be pretty subjective. I know it's in the eye of the beholder, but what would you recommend that the settings should be in overall? Should I go to 144Hz and disregard HDR and G-Sync? I guess I've never really changed the default settings in Nvidia before as my previous monitors didn't really require it. I've been tinkering with the settings above, but even though the screen is vibrant, the dark colors are not dark at all.

I read about changing the NVIDIA control panel settings. By default, it looked grayish and washed out a bit. I have turned on the HDR function on the monitor and also in Windows display setting. So now I am running at 3840*2160 (native) at 120Hz. I actually don't have the 144Hz function enabled.
