Am using the HDR mode for gaming, and for some reason looks a little bit dark compared how it came factory standard without changing settings

If u enable dolby vision in the setting u can set 12 bit color in the nvidia controol panel?

why is DV off, make the whole screen darker tho? i like it better with DV on and HDR1000. espeically for using and watch like youtube for example with RTX HDR super resolution etc. there doesnt seem to be a reason anymore to not have HDR on even when using just windows/browsing etc.

@konga382

2 ай бұрын

Because DV mode is overriding the Peak 1000 mode's EOTF tracking and ABL behavior when it's enabled, and SDR content is noticeably dimmer in Peak 1000 mode. HDR content will not be dimmer, though, and Peak 1000 is capable of achieving brighter highlights than the DV modes when viewing HDR10 content.

Iv been using the True Black 400 mode. Plenty bright enough for me as I only have time to game at night

For gaming those settings would be awful and extremely dark. While I use the Creator setting I push both brightness / contrast to 100% and then I go to Nvidia's Control Panel / Adjust Desktop Color Settings .. and "go to town" brightening-up everything needed to make the enemy players stand out: more brightness / contrast, Digital vibrance and if needed small adjustments to Gamma, and IF for some reason I Enable HDR then I push the settings even higher.

its highly subjective anyway, you might for example prefer tb400 because of less aggresive abl. also this monitor is pretty much perfect out of the box, no needs to adjust anything. only real choice you have to make is clamping down color gamut to sdr for regular content, or leaving it in native color gamut for more intense color reproduction.
