Even 3 years later, here you are defending the title "The Best." This was super helpful, easy to follow and my monitor looks worlds better now. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for making this. I was trying to fix this for 3 months but I kept making it worse. This helped so much now I actually like my monitor. Thank you.
My Monitor is Asus Vg27Aq and for those who is looking at 100% accuracy. Mine is set to racing mode, then user mode - R; 92 G; 100 B; 95 and shadow boost to none. Don't use Elmb sync if you want 100% accuracy since it will darken it a bit while brightnesd is set to 50 and contrast at 80 Also for the nvidia control panel go to color settings and adjust the following Color Channel: All Channels Brightness: 50% Contrast: 50% Gamma: 1.00 Digital Vibrance: 55% Hue: 0
@@kemalefe9126 brightness doesnt really matter for example youre editing an image at 50% brightness but the people who will see that image on their phone has different brightness so it doesnt matter in the end, just use the amount of brightness that your eye prefers However my contrast was set to 80
Just got this monitor and came right here. It already looked amazing (I've been looking at a low quality laptop screen for years), but this has really dialed it in.
Thank you! I used your settings but found that there's like too much Blue in the whites so I tried bumping up Red from 77 to 81- sooo much better. Thank you for this! 😊
As others have asked... at 4:02 you say "and then check OFF use Windows display calibration".. I think he means to check mark (turn on - like he shows it's on) this option even though he says check off. It would be great if he clarified this though from others asking the same question. I'm guessing he just didn't word this very well in his video.
My Asus Tuf gaming monitor was a bit more on the green side when using his settings, so here are my updated settings: R 85, G 82, B 100. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks man, Was fighting with Display Widget Lite that's on the download page for drivers and support for the VG249Q1A for a few days before I found your video and it's looking much better now. Appreciated.
Dude! Thank you so much for this video. I have a tuff gaming monitor, on an ips matrix, but a slightly different model. And out of the box, its colors are really shitty and I couldn't tweak them. I watched your video and made the same settings, and now I'm shocked by the beauty of the picture. Many thanks to you.
Thanks a lot for the info, but can I ask how to switch it to default setting? Cos i accidently set the ICC profile to default and I wish to turn it back to the original default setting just so I could notice the difference just to be sure. Thz again
Thank you so much! I was so sad after having bought my TUF Gaming VG27WQ1B and the colours looking off. After calibrating, I must say it looks AMAZING! I was just wondering, what level did you set the vividpixel for in both the colour accurate and gaming mode? No matter what, you earned my sub tho :)
@MathewTheBest how can I control the Gamma setting on the on-display menu? I don't have a Gamma option, only: Brightness, Contrast, Color Temperature and Saturation. Confused here. I see you also don't have a gamma option on your video at 5:19
thanks for the vid man but i have one question...I have both the ps5 and the series s should i use the first settings on the S since it's a windows machine or should i use the ps5 settings since it's still a console
Yo homie, if you could reply this man it would mean so much bro!! What VESA monitor stand are you using for this bro? You’d save me a headache trying to find one. Subbed and Liked!
Can't thank you enough: It's great that you used Apex as a reference as I came to this tutorial STRAIGHT from Apex frying my eyes out with the Red hue of DOOM. I got the same monitor for Black Friday, must say I'm loving it thus far and man does it crack in Apex speed-wise. Much appreciated!
Hey I need help I have this same monitor but when I attempt to add the ICC profile called "rtings-icc-profile", click add but it doesn't show any profile uploaded. I copied RTINGS post calibration setup and my monitor doesn't look great. Luminance Setting says 14 which for me looks super dark.
I'm so confused whenever I click 'ADD' to my ICC profile nothing shows up it just stays blank no matter how many times I try to add the ICC profile. Anyone have this issue???
Am I blind, what is happening? I can`t see any difference when I apply the color profile from RTINGS is this normal or I`m doing something wrong. Thanks in advance, great video!
Thanks dude for the video, but i have another problem. Whenever i turn my monitor off; everything comes back to default. So my question is how to save these settings on the monitor?
Thank you for the video and great work explaining it.🔥. Does the monitors built in speakers have a tinny sound output? If so is there a way to improve it? Id anyone know please reply it’ll be really helpful.. thank you!!!
Great video man planning on getting this monitor soon and watched all your other vids on it! What are your recommended settings for story based RPG type games etc. and not FPS?
@@kaikaih5771 hi I'm getting the same monitor next week and I play story based games mostly so what calibration and other settings worked out best for you?
@@saadyousaf83 for story games I usually use racing mode and sometimes racing mode with hdr on and the 4k video transfer rate set to -2. If not them I use user mode or RPG mode with brightness at 65.

I have the same monitor and was wondering Mathew, Do I have to download icc profile for console platform or is that step only for PC ? Like the content keep up the good work
I know this post had been 4 months old, but I'm wondering...do you use the ICC profile with monitor setting or I could just change the settings without ICC profile, I'm using it for Designing, FPS gaming and Nintendo Switch.

hi i just got this monitor a couple of days ago really confused if i should really use those gaming modes for fps, rts/rpg etc.... I use it with a ps5 and game looks a little off but really don't wanna change everytime i play thnx for the video 👍🏻
Does the setting for the Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A also match the panel of the Asus TUF Gaming VG32AQL1A? Noone seems to have settings for this one available.
Just bought Asus TUF Gaming VG279. For regular computer use, the font is blurry. I can read it, but it's off. A screenshot viewed on my Macbook Retina Display looks crystal clear. If I slide it over to this monitor it's blurry. Will the above steps help correct that?
Hello guys i have this monitor ASUS VG259QM FHD Iam playing BFV at 280hz. I want to "upgrade" to 1440P VG27AQL1A but this monitor has 144hz so Will I feel the change?
I have a Asus tuf VG27VH1B. I got this for christmas and I really like it except I am not sure about the colours. The settings you showed in the video are really nice. But not sure my ICC profile is right, since all colours on the maps lose their contrast and look dull while on skins they look great (csgo). Setting shadow level to 0 helped a bit, but what would you recommend doing?
@@drippypinecone1330 If I remember correctly, I just played around with the settings until I thought it looked good for me...Think I looked at other videos and mirrored some options from monitors that were close to my model. Nobody really replied about actual settings for the specific monitor so I didn't really bother too much with it. Not the best with computers, unfortunately lol
Hey buddy, I just got me the Asus VG32VQR on Black Friday it was a good deal for $289, so can you please help me with calibration and settings for the PS5, what should I do and what should I avoid for best experience I most of the time play first person shooter games ( COD , Rainbow6, battlefield) so what the best settings on the Asus monitor for PS5
Hi Matt, just purchased this monitor recently for my ps5...just wondering if u have the settings for story based games (third person games)...another thing i wanted to check is the hdr settings in the ps5...do i turn it on or off? Thanks in advance
I would definitely turn the HDR on, if you own this monitor. Rtings said it’s HDR is pretty solid, so there’s no reason not to use it as it’ll create a brighter and more “dynamic range” to look at
Thanks for the video, but you didnt talked about the ELM option wich is greyed out on your monitor and on mine too...Do you know how turn it on ? Thanks :)
I tried calibrating it and I get a message says this display is using a wide gamut and that calibration may make it look worse. Do I wish to proceed. I tried googling it and still haven't really found the answer if I should of not. I'm worried it does look worse and then I can't revert. If you are also using the VG1A why didn't yours display the same message? Or did it originally and since you calibrated it the message no longer appears?
I have a question, I play FPS games like csgo,and how do I set the monitor that I can play the game long(eyes not tired) but also see enemy clearly? (how to have the best setup for fps)
Dude you're an angel. Before, every color shift on my screen was pixelated but after applying your settings they're silky smooth. Great guide!

Hands down, you've explained the settings for the VG27AQL1A the best way humanly possible and THAT's saying something. Keep up the GREAT postings!!
This cleared up a lot to confusion for me as far as the HDR off and PS5 stuff. Makes sense now with that explanation. Thanks
How do you turn HDR in ps5?
at 4:02 you say "and then check OFF use Windows display calibration", however, you're leaving it ON. Should the box be checked or not checked?
agreed. do we keep it on or off? @MathewTheBest
