Thank you for that video. Are you using HDR even for desktop/internet browsing ?

I was using HDR with Dolby Vision for desktop/internet for a long time and recently started using SDR. I'm liking SDR atm.

I really appreciate this video. Definitely needed it since I'm getting mine at the end of this month. Questions though, does windows automatically switch between your calibration profiles as you switch HDR modes? Also do you prefer to stay in SDR for desktop use and manually switch to HDR or do you leave it in a specific HDR mode all the time?

@TaylorBrauer

2 ай бұрын

Windows won't unfortunately. You can save different profiles and then use them as you change profiles on the display. I find that Dolby Vision is a great sweet spot if I don't want to switch and I used that for a long time. I'm now experimenting with manually switching between SDR and HDR. It's a bit of a chore but I do like the look of SDR.

Great video. Do you know if the input lag is the same in the more color accurate standard mode and you wouldn't need to be in game mode preset to get the fastest? Also it seems like having Dolby vision game or bright is the brightest overall in hdr even tho the calibration cuts out at 500 nits vs about 1000 in peak 1000? Doesn't seem to matter if the content supports Dolby vision or not, it looks alot brighter on everything vs the other modes. Is something off in that regard?

@TaylorBrauer

Since this is OLED the response time is consistent for the hertz you set on the monitor. So 60hz has a slower response time and 240hz has a faster response time. Response times don’t differ between color profiles. If you’re used to an IPS screen having overdrive settings there’s none of that on OLEDs. You’re spot on with Dolby Vision. It’s an overall brighter picture. Having DV off and using the HDR profiles will give you more dynamic range at the cost of less overall brightness.

Thank you thank you thank you, you solved problems i did not know i had... VRR for one... I was wondering why it never worked. also every review says turn dolby off... so i just blindly followed.... i dont care about color accuracy, i bought this for gaming and dolby game does look the best to my eyes.. all of the sudden the entire picture is more even and evenly bright.

Yw! I'm glad it helped you. Yeah, folks were really against DV for a long time and understandedly so since Dell didn't let you turn it off for a while. It's good that there's that choice to be had between DV and smartHDR.

Very good video ! I'm on PS5, once the calibration is done on the console, and the HDR mode is selected on the monitor, are there any changes to make in game ? For example on Cyberpunk, we have paper white, tone mapping midpoint, maximum brightness and hdr10 pq saturation. Will the game automatically select the most appropriate settings ? Thanks in advance

2:46 I think it should be mentioned that the monitor supports "variable refresh rate" as a concept both via HDMI ("HDMI VRR") and via DisplayPort ("DisplayPort Adaptive Sync"). It is even certified by NVIDIA as "G-Sync Compatible (40-240Hz via DisplayPort)". Curiously it has no FreeSync certification by AMD (yet?), even though RTINGS reports that it is supported. So as a PC user the only difference is that via DP the computer won't detect the monitor if the monitor is turned off - at least it's like that on my system.

@TaylorBrauer

That's a good point. VRR is supported for both. Dell states that FreeSync Premium Pro isn't compatible but there's no mention of the lower tiers which is why basic FreeSync works. It's pretty confusing, ngl.

I would say, your colour results in Standard mode may not be anywhere near as good on an nVidia gpu. I suspect colour management may be enabled in the AMD Radeon software, this uses the GPU to automatically clamp the wide gamut of the monitor down to sRGB. nVidia does not have this feature so the Creator-sRGB mode will achieve more accurate colours.

DP supports VRR too.
