Gimmicks aren’t always a bad thing. They can do a lot to liven up the content, and if done well I don’t think take away from the content. I watch to the point content like HUB as well as some more gimmicky reviews. Point is, channels that fill their content with over the top gimmicks such as the zealous (and often over righteous) rage like GN are good, and sometimes comedy/personality gimmicks like LTT are good. There is no best. Just the best for you.

Thanks Tim, that's really good content! Of course there's tips where us tech-junkies watching your usual videos might think "that's soooo obvious" - but in my book you deserve praise for still including it! It's often not that easy to remind oneself that there's so many people out there who just don't know these things because they don't care for the details of their computers and just want to game. You did well by them - and everyone else. Have a good time down under and greetings from Germany.

Great video. The unboxing had me grinning because I recognized the monitor at once, simply by the layout of the box and the stand. Just bought this one two weeks ago.Great test of this one by the way. Your message at the end is perfect.

The Only Video on KZread that I could watch from A to Z without feeling bored. very informative and very useful. Thank you !

One simplest thing that got me once was black levels ("output dynamic range"). For whatever reason, the system just decided that it had to send out old TV levels to a modern digital panel, which resulted in bleak whites and washed-out blacks. Took me a bit to figure why it felt so wrong.

Where can I change that setting?

I think setting Output Dynamic Range to Full is also a important step while setting up a monitor. Sometimes it gets set to Limited. If you change that setting to Full. The Black Levels get huge improvement. It sort of makes bit washed out image less washed out.

Also change from 8bit to 10bit if available. I can't say i really noticed much, but the "math" is there and should produce a better color quality in theory. I guess it depends on the monitor but i can't see a reason to not activate 10bit if its there.

Awesome message at the end. we need more of this for more products 💪🏻

Just bought a new Monitor yesterday. This video was like Godsend. Thank you!!!

Great video! Everything from "noob" stuff to advanced covered in one go, excellent stuff! On a general note about brightness; Newer monitors often have really high brightness and might strain your eyes and create discomfort if set to 100%. If you're getting sore eyes and headaches after some hours, try lowering the brightness. A lot of people don't consider this and get sore eyes and so on without even realizing this could be the culprit. Worth a shot if (you reading this) are one of them.

My VG27AQL3A just arrived and used this video as a guide to make adjustments. Appreciate everything you do!

Thank you so much for this guide! I recently bought a gaming monitor and none of the features they advertised were working out of the box and I didn’t even realize it. I thought it would just be as simple as plug and play. The refresh rate was pathetically low to what it was truly capable of and I had to tell my graphics card to apply its high settings to my new monitor. Everything looks awesome now!

You guys are great, and this is a very good guide. For the hell of it and for some of us less technical folks, I think a good guide explaining how to set up nVidia control panel and the AMD counterpart could be a good companion to this guide. Thanks!

That message to a potential scummy company put a smile on my face! Thats why I love HUB and MUB 🤣

Dead pixels are for people too lazy to notice, or to lazy to return in the 15 to 45 day return window (which sucks big time for a 77 inch TV) But typically pixels are dead on arrival.

Much appreciated Tim! Just purchased a ultrawide and this checklist helped!

Tim you are the best about monitors content and windows hdr. Great tips and tricks and finally someone (you) mentioning the sdr slider have no effect in games. This is excellent 👌🏻

This is top tier video. Even though it looks like these points are obvious, this is a great way to bring it all together help all of us out.

Excellent. Nice flow and detailed informative video. I'll be a regular viewer from now on.

Tim is Timely !!! I pushed the purchase button on my new monitor last night

I enjoy these videos. I think something good for the main channel would be something similar for bios set up options for more performance explained. Things you'd see across board manufacturers, etc.

In fact I just received the Gigabyte M32U, so this guide came just in time! Continue the awesome work! Thanks

Thank you, Tim for backing us all gamers. 😁

Thanks for the video. Will save this off for future monitors and gaming pc. Also I love the message at 16:46.

good thing someone already reviewed my monitor and included the best settings so it saved me from headache

Perfect video, clear and to the point

This is the best video I’ve seen on monitors hands down!

@Monitors Unboxed Great Video, very few people have made videos explaining this setup process. and you nailed it !! very well explained and EZ to understand . THANK YOU !! I can finally stop setting up friends/customers monitors and just send them here, saving me hours a week.

This is exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you for giving me the confidence that I’m getting everything from my monitor that I paid for

Awesome. I think I will find plenty of things to optimize in my setup. Thanks for this step by step monitor guide.

I appreciate everything you guys do for us consumers, genuine reviews, honest opinions and no bias bs, i want to support the channel where can i buy one of those sweaters?

Perfect timing. My new LG UltraGear OLED 45" is scheduled to arrive tomorrow 😂

Brilliant as always

what an awesome video! thanks, Tim!

This was really good, Tim

Thanks for the video Tim. Would love if this channel expanded to review portable / smaller monitors. My desk space at home is quite limited and anything above 18 in just wouldn't work for me. There are a lot of portable monitors that market themselves as being "gaming" monitors but there's a lot of marketing BS that you have to wade through. I don't even need them to be really portable, I just need a smaller monitor that is good for gaming at a wide range of refresh rates. Some of these monitors have gained a lot of popularity, but I don't have a way to personally measure response times or input latency so having an independent reviewer reviewing some of that stuff would be very very helpful.

Thanks for that video, ran a few games with HDR on my LG 27GP850-B and when HDR is calibrated games look so much better. I know that it`s not the best monitor for HDR content but still

Good onya, mate, excellent vid as usual. Cheers, Harry.

Another great video Tim!!!

Thank you, this really helped.

Yes and finally I know that if your rig can’t make average above 120fps then VRR will hurt your monitor performance. My rig is capable avg. 60fps and my monitor is shit under 120Hz so for me VRR is shit

great guide, thank you!

I finally bought a Calibrite and it's astounding. It make wonders in any IPS monitor. No more ICC profiles from others. I created a library of profiles for every lighting situation and every other needs. For gaming i use Color Sustainer to prevent game engine overriding my color profile. I'm glad i got it. No more settings and profiles from others wich are most of them useless.

great video, I was always a bit confused about bit depth, I'm still a bit confused about the better use cases for ycbcr vs rgb full. but at least I'm finally confident on going 10bit 4:4:4 vs 12bit 4:2:2

perfect! Just ordered Alienware 34 Curved OLED Gaming Monitor- AW3423DW, partially based on your reviews, and others as well. So, interested in proper set up. thank you!

Gr8 review, Thanks ! How about making a guide for monitor calibration "without" a calibrator ?

It reminded me my previous TN LCD, used daily for 11years, no single dead pixel. It had extraordinary quality and reliability, highly surpassing that way plenty of my other PC parts.

Great video thank you so much!

I have got scammed left and right, even by "friends" when I was building my new PC. Ended up costing me 40% more overall for what I got. So I said screw them, I am gonna do it myself. Thanks to your vids, I am getting answers nobody had or were extremely misleading. Thanks! Love from Czech Republic!

Great tips and beautiful 4k video. I learned a couple new things. 3Can you post the link to your video on monitor calibration? Thanks...

very helpful, lotta possible pitfalls for new gamer setups. ran mine at 144hz for like a year before I know I could overclock it to 165hz

I'd like to mention that you should also check what Displayport/HDMI cable you're using if you can't get the max refreshrate. F.e. my current monitor can do 165hz 1440p, but because of the cable it's limited to 144hz.

It's like you guys knew I had purchased a new oled monitor and waiting it's arrival 😊

thank you great video

great video! thank you!

Oh god I actually found out that I did not enable VRR in the Radeon Software. Now it makes sense why I sometimes still got bad screen tearing. Big thumbs up from me.

I didn’t know you could use v sync with VRR! Good tip!

Love this guy.

Wow! I have had my monitor for 2 years now, not using the OC setting on the display, due to a lot of people saying it will cause issues. I am now using 165hz instead of 144hz. Thank you clarifying this!
