Extra step for the more advanced: If you can find an ICC profile for your monitor (like from my reviews or HUB's for instance), here's a guide on how to install that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aGmKuKWRctDUktY.html

Hey techless I was wondering if you could help me out! I am getting the ASUS TUF Gaming 27” 1440P HDR Monitor (VG27AQ3A) for a new setup of mine. I am currently using the Asus VG249Q Review - 24", 144 Hz IPS and downloaded the profile you had made for it. I have no idea what settings will make it pop like yours did for my now second monitor. I was wondering if you could make one or do a whole review on this monitor and include a profile. Thanks in advance for the response! Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for the advice on brightness at the end. For so long I would unfortunately reduce contrast thinking it’s helping my eyes, but if anything that made them strain more. I thought my brightness was already so low (35), but just lowering that more does the trick. Thank you! My monitor isn’t as washed out and I can stare at it forever!!
I've been searching up monitor tutorial/comparison and yours is always come up with great quality to both picture and content. Subscribed!
wow , with the sRGB Setting my Screen looks so much more colorful now. Great Video, thank u 👍
I actually love this video. It helped me soo much. When I played a game it would start making high contrast whenever I moved and now its fixed. Thank you
Huge thanks!! There were some fundamentals you talked through that were the game changer for me. If the start point is 50 in terms of RGB then adjust down and trying to leave most settings at their starting point. Im always tweaking my setting as I've never been fully happy, with these basic principles I finally feel completely happy with my monitor picture!! 😎👍
Thank you very much. It turns out Gaming mode isn't great for the types of games I play, or for watching movies/shows. Messes up all the subtle colours, especially the darkness levels. I was trying to watch House of the Dragon and there were just so many dark blotches and blurs. But thanks to your guide, and the website you suggested for monitor settings, I managed to sync them up with my AMD gpu settings, and vice versa. The settings they suggested looked a little dark so I turned them up a smidgen (brightness) but overall, it's a much better experience than it was. Thank you! :)
I'm so glad to found this video! Sometimes i was wondering why my monitor couldn't be more vivid color than my phone with a gamut color (even though my LG 22MK600 had 99% srgb). Gonna try this later, thank you!
Great video learned a lot including the settings that I need to fix to improve my gaming proformance

My 27P2Q (not a gaming monitor, but does have Gaming modes), I just load the ICM but turn the brightness down to 0 (even to the point of using a screen filter at night). My old monitor has the opposite problem with brightness being too low even at max. Both are IPS panels, but it's nearly 15 years old. sRGB mode is not recommended for me because it locks in brightness as well.
Thank you so much. You are really interesting to interesting to listen to and worth an ear. I shall keep you nearby in case I need to hear you again.

Great information. I am running a older machine at the moment playing vintage games but some of this knowledge helps... I (hopefully soon) will have equipment/machine in the circa 2020's haha! Thanks for the Vid for your tutorial well put together. See you in the future! (or in the past...)
While this is a niche thing to do, its worth mentioning that if you have a TN monitor, reducing the contrast setting generally brings a response time benefit (doesnt really apply to IPS or VA), this is specially useful to reduce crosstalk when strobing. For anyone reading this, keep in mind the contrast hit is quite noticeable , and TN's already low contrast ratio doesnt help. If you want to reduce VA smearing you can try using a bit of black equalizer..but again, with a picture quality hit

@@vivid_xyz well I didn't get notified for your comment, and you may not too. I don't really need a source, if you look at rtings' response time measurements for TN monitors, you'll see that transitions that end in very high luminance values are generally slower, reducing contrast basically "kills" some of those transitions, and allows for overdrive room, when transitioning to rgb 255, there is no headroom for overdrive, as that is the lowest current state for TNs (the more current is applied to the twisted nematic liquid crystal layer, the less light they let through), but if you reduce contrast, making the max white level around let's say, 230rgb, you're able to overdrive that transition as there is more headroom beyond the digital white level. I've been trying too look for the blur busters forum post explaining why lowering contrast on TN helps, but I can't find it -_-.

Resetting my monitor fixed all my problems thank you so much!
Thanks!! Wondering why the pixel/color quality was dog poop despite adjust a bunch of settings but adjusting the refresh rate(hz) completely fixed that issue instantly!!
Hey man thank you for the guide it helped me a lot. i Have a question although: Why dynamic lighting and DCR should always be off? I would imagine that without HDR in my monitor would be nice features to have. Thank you in advance
Great video man, subbed
Thank you I turned on the free sync Holy shit What a difference. Thanks. I have everything hooked up and on already with my Mac mini to my 36 inch 4K LG monitor. Looks great. I was disappointed when I 1st bought it and hooked it up with a HDMI cable but when I used a DisplayPort cable to Thunderbolt 3 I was totally impressed . But now it looks even better THANK YOU!
Nice Video Mate!!
Nice guide. Thanks a bunch sir.

Thank you so much, I had the contrast way too high and was losing alot of the image when the scenes were bright. Also freeysnc is great.

Yeah, unfortunately that's an odd limitation of DisplayPort 1.2. It's capable of higher data rates than the HDMI 1.4 of your monitor, but it doesn't support HDR meta data.

This video was super helpful to set up my new AOC U34G3XM monitor! but I had a problem adjusting the optimal overdrive settings. If overdrive is off, I get the first image (dark smearing) But anything else (weak-medium-strong) just gives me variations of overdrive too high (bright smearing), I can't find a setting that gives me something like the middle image :( I am very confused.
Hi, thanks for your videos I'm looking for a new good screen : i use 2 X 24 . I have a gamer PC but I use it espacially for videos (adobe premiere), photos and movies (netflix etc), but I'm a occasionaly gamer too (not so much but a minimum) : between Benq EX2510 and MSI 241 : which one would you advice ? I need good colors, good darks, light .. anyway maybe something else ?
You are cool thanks thats was helpful … keep going
love this content
Loved the video, just a request, please make a recommended settings video for Viewsonic Omni XG2405 Monitor.
ASUS VG259Q here; for the most part this video was fine enough for me. Your videos are great. But I'm still unsure about this one thing which is when I have on freesync on my monitor I get the brightness flickering. I've spent literal days reading about it and talking to ASUS. The only thing I've been able to do is have to choose between no freesync with weird stutters, or freesync with flickers. I've had this monitor for nearly a year and it's only recently became a problem. Launched Forza Horizon 5 once and it flickered so bad and left the menus burned in for 4-5 minutes. I've been afraid of using my freesync since then.
Thank you for the video, but I have a problem. Do you know how to fix the problem that the games are being opened as 4k( even when the monitor is full hd) I got an LG 24gn600 and I'm using it on a laptop. Thank you in advance .
i was really looking for a video like this! thank you! But i have a problem, i tried to find ICC profiles or best settings for my monitor online but it seems like no one have this. Any help? The monitor is an ITEK TAURUS 23.9 inches 144hz curved.
Good video cheers mate
Is G Sync really necessary in your opinion, I just got a Acer monitor- XV272U and I do not think it is has that G-sync option right away, Any suggestions? My graphics card is an rtx 3080 if that helps. When I look at the control panel I do not see the option to set up G- Sync. I could return the monitor if it was really worth it.
nice vid, short enough coverered everything. couldnt find my exact monitor but still found this vid very useful.. thanks, and see you on fortnite ! :)
great video, i just have a question. i think my monitor is not that good as i should be, its not sharp. can you make a video about MSI Optix MAG322CQR ? or maybe tell me what to do. i did a factoy reset allredy and played alot in my settings.
sooo gutes video! hab erst am ende bemerkt dass du deutsch bist :)
i'd like to add about contrast while i agree that for optimal color you should leave it at default (usually 70/100) but alot of monitors don't get very dim and are still stupidly bright even when on 0 brightness You can turn contrast down to get a "dimmer" image for when you're gaming without any lights just a quick thing i thought might be useful for night gamers. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

If I have a FreeSync Premium monitor(with the Extended, Basic and Off options on it), should I set it to Off and then activate the G-Sync on the Nvidia Panel? Or it's possible to use FreeSync Extented while the G-Sync is on? (my monitor accepts G-Sync in the Nvidia Panel; the GPU is a RTX 2060.)

My viewsonic vx2458-mhd freesync monitor is flickering when I enable gsync (using 1660ti). Is there a way to avoid this by changing adaptive sync range for example? I’ve seen some people resolving the issue that way but their values didn’t work for me. What would I need to do in cru if I were to do trial and error method? I want to get gsync benefits till I can afford an actual gsync certified monitor.

I'm using an old monitor ( Acer V193W) which should be able to reach 75hz @ 1440x900, however when I try that the text becomes sort of blurry. Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening? 60Hz is clear, but 75hz ( which again, should be native ) just looks "weird". Using the "auto-calibration" button on the monitor doesn't seem to change anything, . Monitor is connected via VGA cable -> adapter-> Gpu ( 7970HD ) EDIT : Updating the monitor's driver fixed the issue. Windows 10 basic drivers were the problem

Hi, At 3'12" you mention a website that you can use to find the best settings for your monitor. I can't find the link to that page. I'm using an ASUS VP28UQG 28" 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 1ms Display Port HDMI Adaptive Sync FreeSync Eye Care Gaming Monitor. I don't use it for gaming....mostly web browsing if truth be told. It is connected to a HDMI output from my MacBook Air. I connect through a hub. I could use a display port connector but then I couldn't use my charger.

Hi und danke für das Video. Ist es sinnvoll, einen Gaming-Monitor mit Hilfe eines Spyder-Geräts zu kalibrieren? Danke und LG
something you might not know is if you go into your nvidia control panel and go into change resolution and press "Customize..." and then press "Create Custom Resolution..." you can overclock your hz basically you should just move it up by ten hz at first and it will A: flick or turn black for a couple seconds turn back on (Or won't because you hit your Hz cap and you need to go lower) and if it does come back on then you can check if it worked B: stay black, and or say this is unable to be done (Do not worry it just means that you can't get that high) And keep doing this in till you hit a cap and then keep gradually going down in increments of 1 hz in till it says that you are able to (PS you press test to test this in the bottem right corner) Hope it helped.
thank youu sm

Can I ask why turn super sharpness off as I have that setting on my acer nitro xv272u VBMIIPRZX
i have two 32 inch curved Philips monitors, 322m7 and 322m8, running at 144 and 165Hz respectively. adjusting contrast or sharpness away from default values of 50 only degrades the already bad picture quality. MPRT is useless on them. not all displayport connections are the same. have had GPUs with drivers (windows and linux) that had problems, such as random resets and black screens. gsync often doesnt play nice with some fps games, so i turn off globally. often tends to return to gsync on, which is default.
Hello, please help, don't u know how to optimize red color on G24F GIGABYTE monitor? I did my own colour calibration, but still red seems like really oversaturated.

Thanks for any response
