A quick note about "Screen saver" setting. With the MCM104 FW it now turns on the CPC ( the vignette effect ), not sure why did Asus change that thing, but you might want to add a sticky comment or annotation if possible, as this setting will now meaningfully change screen brightness even during normal use.

Just want to thank you for this! As somebody that doesn't have a calibrator this will come in handy when mine arrives later in the month. As somebody that ignorant I have a few questions: 1) Is the 120 nits just based on preference? I'm guessing 120-150-200 is just based on the lighting in your environment 2) For gaming, movies and just general social media consumption. Which is "better" to use, SRGB or wide gamut and why? 3) As as early preview....does this monitor get a thumbs up from you guys for PC users? (shame about the HDMI 2.0)

Yes the brightness level is down to preference. Really just set that at what you feel is comfortable for your environment and individual preference Try both modes but for accuracy sRGB mode would be better, as that kind of content is mastered in that colour space (SDR). But many people just prefer the more vivid and colourful appearance of running in the wide gamut DCI-P3 mode for things like games and movies, esp if they’re not bothered about colour critical work Yes it does. Similar OLED limitations as the LG model (text, costing, image retention risks) but performs better in several areas than that model

When I shut down the pc I didn't turn the monitor off during the shutdown process as I normally do, instead I waited until the pc was completely off then the monitor shows "no signal" message, but it wouldn't turn off. Pressing the power off button did nothing, it didn't bring up the menu or anything. However I could press the other buttons to bring up the main menu but again no way to turn it off. So I had to turn my pc back on to turn the monitor off.

I just got this monitor a few days ago & i cannot stress enough the difference between 1080p 240 vs 1440p 240. I wasnt 100% sure about it at 1st bc all the reviews said the screen was to dark because of of the oled panel but based on my experience the screen brightness does not translate to in game brightness if that makes sense, like my monitor screen brightness is set to 60 which is pretty dim but in game i have no dark zones so those sweats wearing black skins and hiding in dark corners i can still see (except warzone). The only game that i have issues with is warzone, for some reason warzone changes my monitors HDR settings so when im outside and i look into a building or dark areas, those dark areas are really dark but honestly feel like its just my in game settings. The only knock i have with the monitor is the fact that its $1k usd & didnt come with mount screws lmao.

Since it's so hard to choose, I wanted to ask you: between this and the LG, which do you think would be better for SDR gaming? I know this one has higher brightness, but outside of that do you feel it has any advantages?

That will be from early adopters and reviews based on the original shipped firmware, which did have some problems with colour gamut in HDR mode. It only delivered around 80% sRGB coverage when viewing SDR content and Windows desktop, so colours looked dull and muted. HDR colour gamut was actually fine, but it was immediately obvious as a problem when you enable HDR. Asus released a new firmware last week to address this and it's now much better. Covered in detail in our written review which will be available tomorrow :)

Depends on your preference and desire for accuracy. Some people prefer to just use wide gamut mode all the time, esp if mainly gaming and watching movies where you can enjoy the more vivid and saturated colours. If you want higher level of accuracy for SDR content, which is mastered in the sRGB colour space, or are doing any colour critical work in that space, you’d switch to the sRGB mode to emulate that smaller colour space

There's a lot of different things at play with something like this. The usual recommendation is to run games in borderless windowed mode which should make this instant and avoid problems :) It's very hard to account for different situations and give a clear answer here, but on a single monitor setup there's instant change as long as you're switching between SDR desktop and SDR game, or HDR desktop and HDR game. if you have an HDR toggle enabled in a game, and alt+Tab to desktop, there's about a 3 second delay as the screen is having to switch between SDR and HDR modes - the same could be said for any monitor. The other thing which seems to cause some delay on this screen and we believe others is if DSC is being used, and I believe that's more down to the graphics card (NVIDIA) than any individual monitor. for instance running SDR desktop at 8-bit allows instant Alt+tab, but if you run 10-bit and DSC is then being used, there's about a 3 second delay when switching. not down to the monitor though i don't believe. prob simplest to use borderless windowed mode and avoid this anyway :)

@@tftcentral I see. My friend has the LG OLED version of this monitor, and his alt tabbing experience is superb and instant in any case (from Fullscreen). He is not using HDR, but he is using 10-bit color as well. He has an rtx4080. When I was researching how to fix my issue, I did read about DSC but that means there's simply nothing you can do unfortunately... And it would make sense that DSC would kick in for 360hz 1440p 10-bit due to it literally being at the very edge of the display port bandwidth. Just simply using borderless isn't an option in all games sadly. Most of the casual games are fine, but some of the competitive ones like valorant, CSGO, you always want to have them in Fullscreen.

Thanks for showing the settings! I have one question though and hope you're willing to read this: I just bought the LG version and I'm planning to switch it for this Asus one because mine is very dark (even in a dark room) and any color preset other than the default and reader mode forces smart energy saving on which reduces image quality because it constantly dims if the image isn't a really dark scenario. The uniformity is also pretty bad with the corners of a white screen turning yellowish So I've read about this monitor and it should not only be brighter and have beter uniformity but looking at your video I should also be able to turn off any automatic dimming while turning the monitor as bright as I want without locking out any color presets, can you confirm this? You might see this comment in other places too... Thank you in advance.

You can avoid any dimming caused by the ABL if you use the uniform brightness mode on the Asus and that is also able to get a bit brighter than the LG screen too.

Reading text feels pretty weird, so I wouldn't be surprised about the headache really.. I understand it's an OLED.. And boooy, does it ever look beautiful in-game?!? But having, effectively, a full HD panel for well over a thousand euros is kinda ridiculous. The response times are AMAZING though! I was playing Pac-Man the other day and even though it was running just at 60 FPS, it looked awesome! Especially with the blacks! Oh, yeah.. and another thing I noticed is, it feels like it "highlights" low resolution/badly compressed textures as it looks even worse it otherwise would on a traditional sub-pixel layout. But that might just be me.. Honestly, I'm thinking about returning it..

No it doesn’t. OLED panels would get extremely hot if you ran a full white image at max brightness, so they need to lower their brightness. The unified brightness setting exists to lower the peak brightness down (I think it’s 250 nits at 100%) so the ABL never kicks in. This allows a small white square to be the same brightness as a full white screen which is signified in the name “unified brightness”. Blacks will still be black, so the screen is still gaining the amazing contrast of an OLED.

Two questions 1. When i turn on HDR the brightness is so low is that normal? 2. Is it fine to run the brightness on 100? when i set it at your brightness its too dim

Only activate HDR in windows when you’re going to view actual HDR content. When viewing SDR content like windows desktop it’s normal for it to look dark/ more dull etc. for HDR leave brightness at 100 so that content can reach its max peak brightness

While HDR is on go in to windows settings, HDR, and look for SDR brightness slider, that can adjust desktop brightness to your liking while in HDR mode with no effect on HDR content.

Just depends on your preference, viewing distance, ambient lighting conditions etc. most people would find a 200 nits brightness for desktop and SDR use more than adequate.

Для fps режима я использую: Яркость: 70 Равномерная яркость: OFF (Так как эта функция по сути убивает все преимущество OLED в независимой яркости отдельных пикселей, это можно использовать разве что для просмотра веб-сайтов и работы, но не для просмотра фильмов и игр, где это наоборот преимущество ) Контраст: 80 Shadow Boost: OFF (включение функции ухудшает отклик что приводит к увеличению размытия) Насыщенность цвета: 60 (чтобы лучше видеть противников в играх с тусклой графикой типа Hunt Showdown) VividPixel: 40 (по всей видимости это стандартная величина с которой пиксели работают максимально быстро) Цветовой режим: 9300K (в этом режиме белый цвет действительно белый, но если вы переживаете за свои глаза можете оставить 8200K) При обычно использовании от этих настроек у вас будут уставать глаза, но для FPS игр это лучшие параметры которые я смог только подобрать. ВАЖНО эти настройки нужно делать включив предварительно FPS MODE.

It really depends how bright you want to make the screen. Uniform brightness will keep the brightness consistent regardless of the content and APL which is good, but your max available brightness would be a bit lower. This is assuming you’re gaming in SDR mode. If you’re using HDR mode then that setting isn’t used anyway

We’ll both really. It entirely depends if the game or content is HDR or not. If it supports HDR, enable that in windows before you start playing, and then you will have already configured the screens HDR mode like in this video. If it doesn’t support HDR, leave windows HDR mode turned off, which will leave the screen in SDR mode, again configured to the settings in the video. Hope that helps

@lucashoskins5385 that really depends on if the game is mastered in wide gamut or not. A lot of people prefer the more vivid and saturated appearance of the wide gamut mode anyway for gaming so you’d probably want to use that mode I think. Try both and see which you prefer I personally wouldn’t use Auto HDR mode, that tries to fake a conversion for SDR content to HDR. I’d rather play the content as it’s intended and if it’s not an HDR game, leave it in SDR. I’d probably just enable HDR mode when you’re going to view proper HDR content

What screen have you moved from to this? Make sure you’re running at full refresh rate and also the content your viewing to test this is high frame rate and you’re not just viewing low 60Hz content or something Increasing brightness could increase risk of image retention but only if you’re using it for loads of static content. If it’s just for dynamic content it should be fine 😀

@tftcentral thanks for replying, after kore research I've discovered it's not the monitor but the content, it's called staggering/juttering I belive it's because oleds response are so fast, and when older content is watched through oleds the leds respond so fast causes the staggering/juttering, glad to know its not the monitor and the content because for games it's perfect! Motion blur is non existent! It's amazing. And thanks for that about brightness, still got it on 57 for now, could eailly go higher but I'll play it safe even though dynamic content should be fine.
