The galaxy wallpaper shows the very effect of the HDR at 10:28 (of course the camera capturing the display which then encoded into this KZread video played on the whatever display we are watching on is not going to give the full detail of HDR that we would see in person :p) gives an idea of how bright things would be brighter, dim things would be dimmer, the stars do really shine. I need that wallpaper.

Where can I get that space wallpaper you use? It's absolutely gorgeous...

I made all these changes and just could not get into this monitor for office work. The text is not crisp and the panel dims when browser windows are expanded. 42” is also enormous for a desktop monitor. Sticking to the AW3420DW with the IPS panel for the time being.

@TFTCentral or anyone know what format the audio is sent out from the SPDIF connection? I can only get PCM Stereo to my soundbar. Also - anyone know what System Setup > Sound > Sound Source in the OSD menu does? It's always disabled for me.....

Is this one of the best monitors right now? I'm trying to figure out what to buy for a triple setup for sim racing. Don't want smaller than 37 and no bigger than 43 no curve screens

I’m using this monitor with my Xbox Series X. When a game has a HDR settings, it means that the game is HDR compatible right? Yet whenever I enable HDR, it looks incredibly washed out and dark. I tried console HDR calibration yet nothing changes. Also I tried adjusting the in-game HDR setting but the difference is not that big like the image is still dark and washed out. I’m currently playing all my games with HDR turned off and they look so much better but I just think that I’m doing something wrong that’s not utilizing this monitor’s full capabilities.

so far with new update it is working good. I leave my computer on all the time. Wakes up now every time.

I did changed these settings and I see my monitor screen flickers 2-3 times after I had changed the settings. Is this normal?

Your recommended settings seem to be a lot closer to the 7500K preset than the 6500K when sRGB clamped. is this supposed to happen?

I read on Rtings that this monitor can only get to 200 nits in SDR tops. Call me mad but I like my screen at around 270 nits (I work in a very bright room). Do you think this display can get to 270 nits in SDR more with Uniform Brightess ON maxing out the brightness setting?

@tftcentral

Жыл бұрын

For max HDR brightness you need to leave the brightness control set at 100 in that mode. The “brightness adjustable” option would allow you to turn that down to reduce the peak brightness if you ever wanted to. Not 100% sure on the game visual options in HDR mode, I can’t recall. But that is probably likely that they are unavailable in that mode. Perhaps available if moving to the HDR Game mode instead of HDR Movie?

Curious------my 6 year old Samsung S32D850T is set to 75% brightness and the monitor is rated 300cd/m2 or 300 nits. 75% x 300 = 225 nits. I feel it's just right in a moderately lit room. Your video seems to suggest that 120 nits is ideal for desktop use? Wouldn't that to way too dim?

Some people prefer a much brighter screen, especially for gaming and movies, but it will depend on your ambient light conditions and content. There’s also a chance of course that a 75% setting isn’t as bright as the calculation, but it is likely to be a fair bit brighter than 120 nits. Totally fine to configure this screen or any other to individual preference

When I enter the OSD I only have access to "Input Select" and "System Settings". I'm pretty sure I have all the settings on the Windows side set up correctly. Any idea why I cannot access the OSD menu options "Gaming", "Image", "Color", "PIP/PBP Setup" and "MyFavorite"? Thanks.

I have a slightly off topic question if that's ok! In 2021 AU Optronics said they were working on a 32" 4k 144hz JOLED monitor. However in your most recent update post on AUO in June, they were talking up their AmLED mini LED technology saying that it's better than JOLED and didn't mention any JOLED plans. Do you think AUO abandoned those JOLED panels in favor of AmLED? For me that would be extremely disappointing as I would highly prefer a pure RGB OLED panel for a gaming/productivity monitor as opposed to any annoying local dimming. There are lots of people that don't need high brightness or care about HDR in a monitor, low brightness VA/IPS panels sell well. You reported that LG are working on high refresh rate OLED displays, but they will use WRGB pixel structure which isn't great for text clarity in monitors, and only 27" and ultrawide 34" models below 4K were reported on. I find 32" to be the right size so you don't have to use scaling In Windows and run 4K natively. I have an entry level LG 32" 4K monitor that I use for programming, but I need to use my secondary monitor for high refresh rate gaming. I was looking forward to having one display for everything, especially with an aspect control setting like in this monitor to play esports titles in, these 42" monitors are just too big for me. I know the market is filling up with 32" high refresh IPS and VA panels, but I would feel silly splurging for one of those if OLEDS in that format were coming. Thanks for your awesome coverage!

Good question and to be honest we’ve seen no mention of OLED production from AUO since that piece in May 2021. It wasn’t listed in their panel roadmaps in our most recent update.

For those experiencing difficulties with HDR mode, washed out colours etc. I upgraded the version to v.033, however this did not resolve the issues. I then discussed with the reddit community and discovered version v.028 works perfectly, with beautiful vivid colours in HDR mode.

Hey do you mind if I ask you a question? Your time is appreciated! My issue is HDR enabled in Windows 11 just looks so washed out, to the point where I really started to just turn off HDR in desktop, and games unless they have an HDR option to enable! It just simply looks better that way. This is my second panel, after a replacement, and the first one I just left in HDR and didn't think about it. But now that I've tried to solve this problem I haven't been able to get over the hill, so the speak. I have the HDR Calibration Tool for Win 11 and it's set correctly. I still look washed out so the solution I found was to increase Digital Vibrance in the nV Control Panel from 50% to 60%, and that looks A LOT better! However, when I fire up Netflix, my black bars on Wide Screen Format are not black. In fact, if I just turn HDR off and hack to 50% Digital Vibrance.... It just looks better! If I watch Netflix in HDR on my PS5 it looks amazing.. Any suggestions? Willing to buy you a coffee for your time.. TIA

Should be no difference when it comes to VRR support or performance, they are just labelled differently in the menu, presumably because HDMI would more commonly be used for console VRR instead of DP. If you have an HDMI 2.1 graphics card you can use either. That would allow 12-but colour depth input but with the panel being native 10-bit, and there being little true high bit depth content , I doubt you’d ever see any visual difference. Technically HDMI would also not need to use DSC like Displayport would but again you won’t see any visual difference.

You'll need to use the optical out from the monitor to your soundbar as there is not earc on it. Unfortunately - I've been unable to get anything but PCM 2.0 - simply unable to get 5.1 :(

I have another question. Can I ask if anyone else has the information on the OSD menu stating that VRR is "NO", even when their variable refresh rate is on? Also inside the information it says the monitor is 8bpc while the specifications of the monitor says 10-bit. Another issue it seems that when I turn on blue light filter it jumps to Racing mode from other modes. This seems very weird. I wonder if this is the case for others or if my PG42UQ is faulty.

@tftcentral

With VRR is that when you’ve enabled it in monitor menu and also on graphics card? Also with colour depth make sure that’s set in graphics card properly. I don’t recall that not reporting correctly for me. Could be a FW bug. Are you running latest available V028? I noticed some oddities with blue light filters too which we reported to Asus. Those modes are a bit pointless imo so I wouldn’t bother using them. All they are doing is changing the colour temp. You can do that more easily via the colour temp setting anyway This is the big we reported in our review with the blue light filters for reference: We noticed a bug as well in that when you turn blue light filter back off, the screen defaults to the ‘user mode’ colour temp instead of whatever you had it set at (e.g. 6500K) and also defaults your RGB channels to 100/100/100 which gives you a very cool setup of around 11,000K. This happens even if you’d manually changed those RGB channels in user mode. It’s a bug we expect Asus will fix with a firmware update, but for now it’s probably best not to mess around using the blue light filter modes.

​@@tftcentral Thank you very much for your reply. When I enabled g-sync inside the graphic card, it turned on inside the OSD information :). And, yes, I should wait for the update for the blue light filter to be fixed. For the colour depth, I am running the V28 version, but if I increase the colour depth inside the graphic card settings, the monitor screen goes black for a few second and back again for a few second and this continues until I turn it back down to 8-bit. I suppose it stems from the same issue I asked you about in my previous comment, but still I am not sure if it is because of my graphic card or the monitor. Thanks very much again, at least based on your response there is still no proof that the monitor is faulty :)

Brightness is set to 100%, but the screen is pale and dim compared to the Acer Predator X27 next to it. My Razer Blade 15's OLED screen puts the PG42UQ to absolute shame in brightness and color richness. HDR videos don't have the bright highlights that I'd expect. The white text on the On-Screen display is at least 50% brighter than a full 255 white on the desktop. I'm pretty disappointed so far, but still searching for a solution.
