Manual does not show any image of the back ports, the Update software asks for USB C - A connection and I wasn't sure if my monitor had a USB C connection or should I use the A ports to connect to a USB C port on the computer. The OSD settings were adjusted as shown in the table above, as guided during the calibration process and measurements. The default gamma curve deviation of 2% had been corrected now thanks to the profiling, reaching the 2.
This also includes a utility for updating the monitor firmware quickly and easily should LG ever offer updates. This represents what could be achieved through just simple changes to the monitor itself, and also what you could expect when working with content outside of an ICC profile managed workflow. In this case, you can either stick with the over-saturated colors (some users prefer this, others don’t), or you can use the provided sRGB color gamut clamp for a more accurate reproduction of colors! If you were worried about possible overshoot at 60Hz for console gaming (assuming no support for 120Hz) or external devices you can also drop down to the ‘Normal’ response time setting which completely eliminated the overshoot, but response times were not quite as fast as a result. It was also free of the off-centre contrast shift you see from VA panels and a lot of the quite obvious gamma and colour tone shift you see from some of the modern VA panel type offerings.At the lowest adjustment the bottom edge of the screen doesn’t sit that low, being 100mm above the desk edge. There was a decent 376 cd/m 2 adjustment range in total, so at the minimum setting you could reach down to a luminance of 90 cd/m 2.
The calibrated results were excellent, and hardware calibration support was very welcome for great control, flexibility and accuracy in setup, even beyond colour managed workflows and for gaming and multimedia. HDR expands the contrast ratio (peak luminance and minimal black levels) and color palette to achieve more details across the whole image - from the darkest parts to the brightest ones, which results in more realistic and life-like image. You will need a GeForce RTX 20 series, AMD Radeon RX 5700 or higher graphics card for this to be featured but make sure you check the spec of the card you have to know if it will support DSC. In the menu, you’ll find various pre-calibrated picture modes including FPS, RTS, sRGB, Reader, two customizable Gamer profiles, and two Calibration profiles for the True Color Pro software. We never felt that the overshoot became too noticeable or distracting in practice, and it’s only really at the very low end where you might start to see a few pale halos appear, but they are very slight.Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. You can certainly see chroma sub-sampling when you use that old method especially in desktop applications, but that was not necessary now that DSC was being used. Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. If you set your resolution to 2560 x 1440 the image still looks very sharp and clear, and doesn’t blur the text too much like most 4K screens do when scaling. There is very good compliance to the refresh rate as a result, meaning no additional smearing or blurring is introduced.
That said, this is the first monitor backlight I’ve encountered that’s actually bright enough to light up the wall behind it and act as a bias light. This section tests the full range of luminance (the brightness of the screen) possible from the backlight, while changing the monitors brightness setting in the OSD menu. We also measured the screen after adjusting only the OSD controls, to obtain the optimal setup without a full calibration, and without the use of an ICC correction profile. This allows us to measure the maximum and minimum adjustment ranges, as well as identify the recommended setting to reach a target of 120 cd/m 2 for comfortable day to day use in normal lighting conditions. From these comparisons we can also compare the calibrated colour accuracy, black depth and contrast ratio.The default setup of the screen was reasonable as well, offering an accurate gamma curve and decent contrast ratio for an IPS panel. The screen includes LG’s Sphere Lighting system which can be set to a range of colours and modes through the OSD menu, a quick access scroll wheel on the bottom edge of the screen, or via the additional LG Control Center software.
You need to ensure you have the necessary operating system and applications to handle scaling effectively for your needs.However, the difference between 144Hz of the GN950 and 240Hz of the G7 is also not that deal-breaking.
Great Deal
