I will keep HDR turned off in Windows unless I will view HDR content. You'd figure that they'd find a solution for that. That makes sense, even though it sounds ridiculous on Microsoft's end. More information on this can be found in the following resources:, , and. It's only recommended to enable HDR when you are preparing to consume HDR content. When you enable HDR, non-HDR content (SDR, standard sRGB, etc) are going to look washed out in comparison. I use an OLED TV for gaming, and I ended up calibrating multiple profiles, one for a dark room and one for a bright room, as the difference between the two can be staggering depending on the scene you are viewing.Īs for why your colors are washed out when enabling HDR, this is unfortunately a normal side effect of HDR. A screen calibrated in a dark room will look dramatically different than a screen calibrated in a bright room and vice versa. Īlso keep in mind that when you tweak your settings, your ambient lighting will impact your viewing experience. That said, they do have their calibration guide available to help you calibrate with their downloaded patterns.

Normally I would recommend looking at RTINGS for their settings with this panel, but it doesn't appear they've reviewed this model as of yet. As you mentioned, this can be pretty subjective.

I know it's in the eye of the beholder, but what would you recommend that the settings should be in overall? Should I go to 144Hz and disregard HDR and G-Sync? I guess I've never really changed the default settings in Nvidia before as my previous monitors didn't really require it. I've been tinkering with the settings above, but even though the screen is vibrant, the dark colors are not dark at all. I read about changing the NVIDIA control panel settings. By default, it looked grayish and washed out a bit. I have turned on the HDR function on the monitor and also in Windows display setting. So now I am running at 3840*2160 (native) at 120Hz. I actually don't have the 144Hz function enabled.
