@@AleksandreMzhavia Text is clear and from my understanding there is a fan but I cannot here it at all. I mean to the point I can't even tell you it has a fan for sure because I hear nothing.
These settings and the ICC profile are a game changer for me. Had a hefty amount of banding and black crush before and now both seem to be non-existent. Thanks a bunch for this
So thankful for this! I thought you guys were snubbing this monitor since it has been out for a while and I haven't seen you review it. Thank you so much for all your hard work for this community🙌
When I use these settings my white balance looks terrible. I can’t get it even close to being a normal white. I’ve compared it to my MacBooks white and it has either a yellowish tint or a blueish tint. No in between. Any ideas??
I've noticed that in HDR, as nits increase, the whites turn into a yellowish white. Is this normal? Can it be fixed? My settings are the same as the ones described in this video.
I am on the way to buy this monitor or the ASUS 32UCDP. Even you have mentioned both monitors to use LG's WOLED, can you tell if the coating is exactly the same?Maybe on which the image is crisper.Thank you in advance very much!
I feel silly having to ask but at around 2:32 into the video you talk about the black stabilizer and how at the default setting of 50 blacks appear crushed could this vary per unit or is the 55-60 you recommended more than enough to improve them? what tests is there I could do to be sure 50-55-60 is enough? Thanks. Love the review btw. Had this monitor close to a month and really liking it. Definitely not going back to LED/LCD now :D
It could vary yes. You can use this test, let the display warm up a bit first then view the various grey shade boxes and tweak black stabilizer a bit from there if needed www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php
@@tftcentral cool, thanks. I'm finding I have to go much higher than 60. A value of 75 is looking good to me where each square is different. Might be able to get away with 70 though
Just got a variant of this monitor the other day (the one w/o pixel speakers), im trying to adjust settings in their menu, but everytime i click the nipple button to change something (ie: brightness) it moves by increments of 5. How were you able to adjust things by 1% at a time?
Sorry for the question: if I play games and watch movies, should I enable Windows HDR? On the other hand, if I want to work or do graphic design, should I disable Windows HDR and activate Gamer 1 mode, is that correct?
Yes but only enable HDR mode if the content you’re viewing actually supports HDR. or for gaming, if you’re going to use something like windows auto HDR or NVIDIA RTX auto HDR perhaps to “upscale” regular SDR games too
The settings at 480Hz are very limited, but I bought the monitor for 480Hz. Could you cover settings for 480Hz? What I really want is a way to disable VRR at 480Hz, but the setting is grayed in 480Hz mode.
I’ve not checked but I expect it’s greyed out as off rather than on isn’t it? If it’s forced on in the menu, just disable it from your graphics card menu on that side 😀
@@tftcentral It's forced on at all times in 480 Hz (greyed out as choice). Disabling it in Nvidia control panel, the monitor still reports it's operating in VRR mode. In 240 Hz, the monitor doesn't report VRR when it's turned off in Nv control panel. There's no flicker at 480 Hz with VRR turned on in Nv control panel. At 240 Hz, it flickers in VRR just like my 240 Hz 1440p LG oled. I don't think the VRR feature works at all at 480 Hz, but the monitor falsely reports it as on.
@jcnikoley yeah that seems the likeliest scenario if it’s reporting it on when you’ve disabled it from NVCP. Sounds like you wanted it off anyway, so that’s all good 👍
Is it normal for the monitor to have a millimetre slit in the bezel at about an in out from the bottom right corner? You can only see it if you shine light on it
We’d only recommended not using those modes as most people will probably prefer the uniform brightness behaviour for desktop applications but if you are primarily gaming and don’t find it noticeable then it’s certainly fine to use those modes if you prefer 🙂
My question doesn't directly relate to this video itself but rather the monitor in this video. I've noticed that ASUS has been getting a little preds on using the same panel in their version of a dual mode. But they offer ELMB. I don't really know how it works. So does it require a special video card or setting in the computer or is it completely In the monitor itself, I run AMD video card and I use Linux. So that's why I want to know about those things because ELMB could be really good for me where I'm sensitive to motion blur. Also, not sure off top my head, but the Asus might have a better written, explicitly stated, burning warranty than LG is offering last I checked. Have you had a chance or plan to take a look at the asus variant of this panel?
you are in luck, our review of the PG32UCDP has just gone live publicly here: tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus-rog-swift-pg32ucdp have a read and let us know if you have any remaining questions afterwards :)
is the Monitor running the oled imagine cleaning automatically if i turn the Monitor off, like other oleds or do i have to run i manually every few hours? I have the standby feature off
When connecting this monitor to your PC (4080 super) should we be using the DP or HDMI 2.1 cable? I use both the 4K 240hz and 1080p 480hz modes on the monitor.
@tftcentral awesome tysm for the info! I did notice that the display is a bit dim compared to my old Alienware 240hz LCD panel, is that normal? I tried brightness at 100 and peak brightness at high, still not as bright. Any tips?
It’s a little tricky to recommend OLED for a use case which involves a lot of static content, as there’s an increased risk of image retention. But if you’ve decided OLED is ok for you then it will certainly offer excellent picture quality. I think a 32” 4K model where there’s the higher pixel density and the improved text clarity would be a very wise choice though if you do
I just bought it, I'm a UX/UI and this is the best OLED you could have because color profiles are good compared to QD OLED, text fringing does not exist. Until now it's been one week and I am liking it, I would not recommend at all QD OLED, too bad for color work and hurts my eyes.
yup this monitor flickers if the FPS is around below 100fps or so.. but it's really errr, only in menus? Worse case disable GSYNC in specific games via NVIDIA Inspector.
I have this monitor as of today and when i turned HDR on i was taken back by how dim and undersaturated it was. BUT i was running max brightness and high peak brightness with HDR off so am i used to overbright and saturated colors? Should i try to stick with the ones im seeing in HDR?
That’s what happens if you view SDR content and things like windows desktop within HDR mode. Only enable HDR for actual HDR content which should look correct again as it’s mastered in the wider colour gamut and tone mapped appropriately
@tftcentral okay, thanks got the advice. I wish windows had an auto HDR mode. The hidden button in the display settings us a hassle to pull up and effects everything as if windows expects you to leave it on 24/7 for small fraction of media that actually utilizes HDR. This is my first OLED and I'm going through an eye strain/feeling sick phase with it that I've read goes away in about a week
HDR is terrible on windows and on monitors. Which is why me personally if im getting a OLED, HDR has to be working correctly. It doesn't make sense to have a OLED and lack HDR and for this monitor when you turn on HDR its dim and life less. Windows needs to work on HDR as well as LG needs to get their monitors closer to LG OLED TVS with performance and brightness then its worth it. And i can tell by how he's talking in the video, Not many options and really there's not much you can do to fix on the monitor. Its bland and SDR / OLED = meh experience ngl
HDR in windows is fine, for actual HDR content. The way it handles SDR content including the windows desktop within HDR mode is often a problem though which is why we recommend only enabling HDR mode when you’re going to view actual HDR content. No issue there really
I just got this monitor and somehow it is only showing 60hz and even when I go into setting on my windows it does not show more than 60hz. When I do dual mode and if it goes 1080p, it shows 120hz. My laptop supports 144hz so I am not sure what is the issue here. Would you possibly know the solution?
Id recommend checking nvidia control panel settings where you can change your resolution and refresh rate, you are likely running native Ultra HD rez, change it to normal 4k in the bottom and it should allow you to have 240hz on 4k or 480hz on 1080p
You mean as reported by Windows HDR calibration tool? That will be a bug with the way it's reporting info sent from the monitor to the tool, but actual luminance will be different to what that figure shows on the screen - i mean it shows that for 100% full white window too i expect, which isn't realistic on an OLED. Just make sure you've set to 'high' peak brightness and you should be achieving up to 1300 nits peak for small APL %
@@tftcentral No, it's reporting 600 nits in windows and in the NVIDIA app. And doing calibrations both using windows and in games they clip at 600. you must disable dsc apparently and change some settings in cru to make it clip at 1300 nits. there are posts online about it. but I want to play at 240hz not 120...
Best way to do it then would be to just skip the Windows HDR calibration process. although even if you follow it, it won't really be clipping you at 600 nits....it won't impact the actual peak luminance being output by the screen, I've tried in the past to deliberately lower it using that tool and then re-measuring the luminance with a device and it doesn't impact it). It's just a bug with the figure being reported by the monitor to the app, quite a few of these new screens have the same issue.
I guess possibly but it’s a couple of pixels at a time and fairly infrequent so unless you’re a pro gamer I doubt you’d ever notice it or see an issue with it in practice
i've ran pixel shift on my 3 different oled monitors i've had. Its impossible to notice. Unless your on a static desktop you MIGHT see it. Its 1 pixel so i really doubt it will mess up your aim
Im using the LG 34GS95QE and when I enable Adaptive Sync while HDR is off, it turns HDR on. Also if HDR and Adaptive sync are on and I turn Adaptive Sync off, HDR turns off as well. Also the whole PC freezes for seconds when I ALT+TAB out of some games (Escape from Tarkov for example) and the monitor says it will enter sleep mode, since there is no signal and instantly go into sleep mode??? What is happening? Could you also do a best settings vid on the LG 34GS95QE or the 39/45 counter part?
Spent 1 day on this monitor before returning. Do not buy this monitor until you see it in person. My Alienware 1440p oled uw looks way better for colors.
Coming from a benq TN panel the only thing I dislike about the panel is the graininess I know this is because it’s a woled but still also something to consider
Because it overexposes and undersaturates SDR content, which is like 90% of all PC games anyways. Just try it with some older games that don't support native HDR. Start them in SDR, take some screenshots in different areas, then do the same when started while HDR is active in windows. You'll see that, while the brightness is increased when you keep HDR turned on at all times, in regular SDR games the image will be "washed out", with duller colours and overblown saturation. And while Auto HDR is promising, it doesn't work with everything and might create it's own issues. In general, you only turn on HDR for games that natively support it (or if you're using third party methods/mods to implement it).
How can people not be using FPS Mode, it is the best picture setting with -> Brightness 100 -> Peak Brightness: High -> Color Temp C10 (Rest no need to touch unless you want Oled protection on) Edit; I changed into same settings on Gamer 1 and ended up making a profile. The picture was dark and boring so had to turn up HDR brightness from 30 to 100 in Windows HDR settings. The colors/contrast seems tuned down. To get the clarity back I think sitting at 75 sharpness seems good. The picture is less living, but it looks more natural. Using the same settings as above. Remember turning on 10 bit color and 0-255 color range in Nvidia Control Panel. Gotta say after tuning Gamer 1 it made me feel more like home, but I have enjoyed the FPS mode since I got the monitor so will need to test further. Anyways I don't find any better settings than these. Have fun!
Because it’s hugely inaccurate, overly saturated and in that combination, overly bright. But having said that, if you like that setting that’s obv fine
@@tftcentral I can understand what you mean. But this monitor can work with that no problem compared to earlier ones. I find them both likeable in each way, its nice to be able to change the settings by 2 clicks. I love this monitor so much. It could be brighter but honestly i dont give a shit. It changes when you get in games, its just amazing 🤣 Sun is blending me in games so I'm curious on the new settings
@@tftcentral I turned of HDR in Nvidia Control Panel, it made a huge difference. Now I'm satisfied with Gamer 1 and the settings I mentioned. This monitor is legendary. Also keep Super Resolution on 4.
The display of this monitor is awful. They need to fix their firmware or move toward a new OLED technology. Compared to QD-OLED black shadow detail is crushed badly. Was using my iPhone 13 Pro Max/Galaxy Tab S8+ displays to compare detail while using the Black Equalizer but couldn’t match the detail of those OLED displays. Returned this monitor and bought a AW3225QF and couldn’t be happier.
@@tftcentral Eh on OLED it looks identical to srgb mode. After tuning it with the slider in windows I can't tell the difference between srgb and HDR with sdr content. Feels like that article was written for lcd panels.
@BeHempy if you want to run it with HDR on all the time, that’s fine. I wouldn’t. You’re right that it can be less of an issue on OLED though, but not every screen behaves as nicely as the C2.

Spent 1 day on this monitor before returning. Do not buy this monitor until you see it in person. My Alienware 1440p oled uw looks way better for colors.
Coming from a benq TN panel the only thing I dislike about the panel is the graininess I know this is because it’s a woled but still also something to consider
Why not leave HDR on the whole time?

Because it overexposes and undersaturates SDR content, which is like 90% of all PC games anyways.
Just try it with some older games that don't support native HDR. Start them in SDR, take some screenshots in different areas, then do the same when started while HDR is active in windows.
You'll see that, while the brightness is increased when you keep HDR turned on at all times, in regular SDR games the image will be "washed out", with duller colours and overblown saturation.
And while Auto HDR is promising, it doesn't work with everything and might create it's own issues.
In general, you only turn on HDR for games that natively support it (or if you're using third party methods/mods to implement it).
@ZefZiona oh I see, thanks for the explanation 🙏
How can people not be using FPS Mode, it is the best picture setting with -> Brightness 100 -> Peak Brightness: High -> Color Temp C10 (Rest no need to touch unless you want Oled protection on)
Edit; I changed into same settings on Gamer 1 and ended up making a profile. The picture was dark and boring so had to turn up HDR brightness from 30 to 100 in Windows HDR settings. The colors/contrast seems tuned down. To get the clarity back I think sitting at 75 sharpness seems good. The picture is less living, but it looks more natural. Using the same settings as above.
Remember turning on 10 bit color and 0-255 color range in Nvidia Control Panel.
Gotta say after tuning Gamer 1 it made me feel more like home, but I have enjoyed the FPS mode since I got the monitor so will need to test further. Anyways I don't find any better settings than these. Have fun!
Because it’s hugely inaccurate, overly saturated and in that combination, overly bright. But having said that, if you like that setting that’s obv fine
@@tftcentral I can understand what you mean. But this monitor can work with that no problem compared to earlier ones. I find them both likeable in each way, its nice to be able to change the settings by 2 clicks. I love this monitor so much. It could be brighter but honestly i dont give a shit. It changes when you get in games, its just amazing 🤣 Sun is blending me in games so I'm curious on the new settings
@@tftcentral I turned of HDR in Nvidia Control Panel, it made a huge difference. Now I'm satisfied with Gamer 1 and the settings I mentioned. This monitor is legendary. Also keep Super Resolution on 4.
The display of this monitor is awful. They need to fix their firmware or move toward a new OLED technology. Compared to QD-OLED black shadow detail is crushed badly. Was using my iPhone 13 Pro Max/Galaxy Tab S8+ displays to compare detail while using the Black Equalizer but couldn’t match the detail of those OLED displays. Returned this monitor and bought a AW3225QF and couldn’t be happier.
They released update firmware where it did fix the crushing of Blacks. Dont have the monitor myself but seen a couple of reviewers mention this
@@uncannygambit The first thing I did was install that firmware. It was awful with it, I can’t imagine how bad it was without that firmware.
Why disable HDR in WIndows when not using it? I've set my C2 and this monitor for HDR always on. Looks great.

@@tftcentral Eh on OLED it looks identical to srgb mode. After tuning it with the slider in windows I can't tell the difference between srgb and HDR with sdr content. Feels like that article was written for lcd panels.
@BeHempy if you want to run it with HDR on all the time, that’s fine. I wouldn’t. You’re right that it can be less of an issue on OLED though, but not every screen behaves as nicely as the C2.
@@tftcentral Cool thanks for the responses.
