    we need more monitors with both glossy and matte versions so everybody can have the preferred setup. spread the word for manufacturers to see that there's a strong demand for glossy.

    The tone shifting when scrolling in KZread is actually a Chromium issue with how it handles ICC profiles. It applies color management to all content, except for videos when they're playing. For some reason scrolling briefly enables color management on a video, until you stop. It's not this monitor's problem, I've had the same on a MSI MPG 271QRX. Perhaps it doesn't apply to your LCD, because for some reason it doesn't detect its ICC or something, who knows.

    @@TotallydubbedHD It happens in Edge, because it's also based on Chromium, it uses the same color management code. It probably wouldn't happen in Firefox. As for why it doesn't happen on other monitors, I'm not sure! Maybe Windows didn't load their ICC profiles correctly, I dunno. I'm not an expert, just wanted to let you know I've seen the same thing happen on a different monitor. :D

    Hi, how are you? I have a problem if you could guide me. First, I don't know if the nvidia app beta is the best for this monitor or do I use nvidia expirience? Second, is it advisable to use Windows HDR calibration? I used it and it worked very well with shadow of the tomb raider in hdr, but when playing tomb raider (2013) in sdr it looked horrible, very yellow, especially the skin, this could be the fault of the nvidia app beta or the configuration of windows 11 hdr? I use nvidia app beta or nvidia experience, and do I configure HDR with Windows 11 or not? thank you so much!
