Ya Gamer 1 is the only "HDR 400" certified mode. Haven't noticed any posterization, and the black test is perfect:

But yes, if you want accuracy you never use any vivid display modes on any display. But on this LG it looks pretty epic in HDR gaming!
Oh also on the text... yes OLED will not have as crisp of text as RGB LCD but, the text on the LG is bright white using dark mode and on the QDOLEDS it's tan'ish as are-whites in general. I definitely give the text win between the two OLED types to the WRGB LG.
Ya curious what picture preset mode he was using. The individual modes drastically affect the image brightness/quality. Gamer 1 (stock) limits the display to like 600 nits as you mention. Gamer 2 allows up to 1,300 nits according to a review I read. Vivid is like Gamer 2 but ups the whole scene...
Having both QDOLED and the LG side by side, the full scene/real scene HDR is definitely brighter on the LG WRGB. In vivid mode, I'm talking like 50% brighter it's crazy.
For some reason my Win 11 shows:
9,300 nits haha. The HDR calibrator app doesn't clip until 2,700 nits on the slider is...
Only used for four months, like new. 32 months left on warranty (including burn in). Comes with all original packaging/items as shown in photos. During use, taskbar was hidden, black background, dark mode and screen saver used while not gaming. Zero dead/stuck pixels. Fantastic display...
So compared side-by-side with the AW32 QD-OLED, they both have some give and take as to be expected. The colors are slightly better on the QD, but the whites are way better as to be expected on the WRGB. With some tweaking in Vivid mode for use during gaming, I am able to get small HDR...
Ya I told him to pack it REALLY well. It looked like he tried, a box inside a box, but the whole package basically had no rigidity so any boxes on top would add pressure to the bubble wrap on the panel. Normies just don't understand how much abuse packages go through. Oh well looks like he's...
After testing a while switching between 1080p/480 and 4K/240, I think I overall prefer 4K/240 with higher graphics than 1080p/480 and lower graphics. What I gain in speed with 480 I lose in target detection detail/eye candy at 1080p in FPS's. So right now for me the holy grail is 4K/480 but I...
I'll have more thoughts on it tomorrow during the daylight as I've only used it this night.
The colors aren't as bad as I was thinking they may be versus the QDOLED, but I have to do a side by side.
My Viewsonic XG321UG also arrives tomorrow, so I'll literally have three top displays to...
Have you compared the PG32UQX versus one of the 32" 240 Hz 4K QD-OLEDS? I'm considering swapping out my AW32 OLED for another PG32UQX. I'm just curious if I have rose-tinted glasses when it comes to that monitor. Is it just the HDR impact that brought you back?
I always thought it funny reviewers going on and on about USB-C charging. Something like that doesn't even have any relevance to being a monitor. People don't have enough USB-C charging capability that it needs to be a huge monitor item list? Yeesh.
Yikes, I just watched the Hardware Unboxed of the 43" G7, that thing is awful. If this has the same panel, I want nothing to do with it. Since that's highly likely, cancelled order.
The search continues... I think my AW32 is crying that I want to get rid of it. Such an amazing display in so...
Ya I'm taking a gamble for the off chance they upgraded it. They changed the 55+" QN90's back to VA for 2024 (D), so maybe they worked on the 43 and 50". Another reason I'm having it shipped for BestBuy pickup, means I can just return it back to Bestbuy which is likely. I have a feeling I'm...
I've had everything under the sun, but currently have both OLED and LCD. I use flight simulators, which have a lot of bright areas of the screen (~half the screen being sky), so an OLED just cannot compete with my FALD LCD. On my desktop, I have an AW32 OLED which is king for motion clarity and...
Couldn't find any real information online about this new 2024 43", but at $1,500 MSRP and mini-LED FALD 144 Hz, I'll give it a shot. Especially at this discount.
