Bro! I had this monitor since 2018 and the settings listed in the video are a straight game changer. Went from grayed out to actually seeing color on my screen haha thank you!
Tip for anyone with this monitor set Response time to NORMAL using Fast or Superfast will add terrible ghosting, what this setting actually changes is pixel overdrive and the fast and superfast settings overload the pixels creating trailing. Don't know why they called this "Response time" and it's just marketing bullshit. If you want to test this yourself you can use the monitor UFO test online set it to superfast and you can see the trail then set it to normal and you will see it will be much clearer and no trail.
True but in games like Apex Legends you cant play on normal not even on fast, you need that fast reaction time thats why im gonna sell this shit monitor and buy xl2546k with Dyac, a few days ago I ordered
My friend just bought an LG OLED AI Thin Q 65CX. CAN YOU DO A VIDEO OF professional calibration for that model? I still have my C7 LG AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO YOU MADE a LONG TIME AGO FOR IT. My settings for my C7 are always on the professional calibration mode settings you mention in that amazing video. 🙌🏻 Thank you
After the color changes, all the blue in my pc became purple.. like discord for example, and its too dark becuase of 33 precent brightness, why is that?
@@gokusgames maybe you haven't reset the original settings but you have to understand that some panels have being variance that similar calibrations won't work on it. So maybe yours is one of those. Good thing is that you can always reset them again.🙂 No harm done
So I have this monitor and I use it for my PS5. I mostly just play GTA 5 until I get my PC built, but as for now what are the best settings for low input lag? Should I keep the response time on normal or super fast?
I wouldn't know unless I see it, but Sometimes when it flickers is because of the port connection. I would only suggest that you change cables and see if it stops flickering.
I have the Same Problem. After Setting the rgb on Game 1 the Brightness and Contrast Go back to 75. Should I put them back to 34 and 61 or should I leave them at 75? And when I apply those Settings the screen looks a Bit greyish
@@airrelevant8851lowering the contrast brings more detail at the cost of washout colors but raising the too much creates a pinkish hue that would affect the color accuracy. The brightness can be adjusted to the ambient light that your playing it at the moment.
@@airrelevant8851 That only happens when say Standard mode u set to lower, then if Dynamic contrast is On (is by default) it will use 75 75 but can look good in a game personal choice, if you disable dynamic contrast then all your modes will share the one you set.... Id try both see what lets you get more kills lol and less eye bleedz
I only play fortnite with this monitor mainly. would you still recommend these settings? or possibly another monitor you know of? I am gonna buy another soon
Unfortunately I do not have the display anymore. That gain, offset options are meant to be calibrated for darker scenes and brighter scenes apart and it creates even better results.
Hay dude, quick question I have this monitor the older version (2017) if I was to do this calibration say I did it from factory default the dynamic contrast is on by default, do I turn that setting off for this calibration? Also do you know what this monitors colour range is because I’m using it with my new series x and want to know if I should set the console to standard or pc rgb meaning full? please get back to me
That's weird because enabled dynamic contrast raises input lag. Also you can choose whichever, it's a monitor so setting it on RGB wouldn't be wrong since most monitors are set by default on RGB color range. But for this video you should just do it the same way it shows.
@@JMasterMindC it's your decision but remember that games are set and created to be enjoyed in the recommended mode but if you have a monitor where you're gaming then you can try it and if by chance you think that the blacks are getting more crushed then you can always go back to recommended settings. You really got nothing to loose! Whichever looks better for you.
@@CoachCSan thanks for your reply, one last question because I have the older model than in your vid when I go to game one I don’t get the same options, but I do when I go to custom mode, should I do the changes there?
@@youngone6558 Super Fast but it cause ghosting if you dont have a problem with that as I said Super Fast is the best in terms of response time which is 1ms
yeah its a ghosting monitor on Super Fast Response Time, cant wait to get ridd of it, I already preordered xl2546k probably the best 1080p gaming monitor with the best clear image from what I info
@@jeremiahwhyte5462 sorry, it's on the rgbcmy but the custom setting in game mode and they should be at 50% all of them, maybe green isn't but the main ones like red and blue should adjust to the video.
Usually the standard that comes is the best for it but you can adjusted to your liking but just a few dots, this way you don't create the cross or ghosting effect.
@@CoachCSan Hay you no that Ghosting effect.. Well some find setting Response Rate to Fast or Super Fast get ghosting, Well I thought it was a G-Sync or Fixed issue but it seems you can run Super Fast on G-Sync or Fixed perfectly clear, sometimes like me I use Fixed Refresh but had to enable G-sync mode, then go back to fixed and Booyah no ghosting... (that prob made no sence to anyone but me and odd person who will go oh shit nice lol)
@@RiGz_Nz I been messing with my monitor settings for fortnite in control panel as well..and recently I turned off gsync(using fixed refresh) low latency is set to ultra....I have my response rate to normal though cause I had it on super fast and felt like I was getting ghosting...so can u be more clear what you recommend? cause I feel like currently I am getting decently stable gameplay ....my main issue w fortnite right now is when my FPS which is usaully 240 will drop to 230 or less for a brief second and I get a stuttering(mainly only in close up fighting)...I really wish I could get buttery smooth gameplay 24/7 but dunno if its just fortnite sucking or a setting I need to fix...
@@mrlucky704 Cool, yea that Ghosting when on fast or superfast with gsync off, can work having monitor set superfast and Ticking both Gsync & Enable settings for selected display model Ticked, (even tho its says not validated as one its all good) then Apply.. the screen should flash blank and back on, & superfast should not ghost anymore, & find you can turn it off ( & make sure in 3d settings vsync off and Highest refresh avail are on & apply) and it will stay superfast and not ghost, sometimes it wont sync but seems to for me. But main thing is you should be able to have what ever Speed and when applying it, and having responce rate set on what you want b4 applying. I feel like making a video and showing you .... Also with Fortnite you may need to check you RAM settings iv found countless people with there 3200 DDR4 but no one has set it to run that speed in the BIOS and ram runs default speed of 2133, ive also seen memory timing that set to run e.g. 16-18-18-18-36-54 on like 21-23-23-23 and had to manual set them to at least run at what the box says lol... also have you done any o/c yourself on memory?

@@mrlucky704 Also with the FPS drop are you just looking at middle FPS if it drops 10 or so frames now and then but its smooth when u look around, thats quite normal but if its doing dives like 240 240 150 90 240 230 90 like major drops, then Id have to bet my money on memory setup 1st check its running speed and Timings it says it is with CPU-Z app is the best....
@@CoachCSan oh cool man thanks... yea im loving playing around and trying these settings of yours, sorry im a bit new to replying and in my excitement over did it, so if I broke any YT codes of conduct it was an accident, thanks man!!! your skillz are real no doubt there mate

thank you man. u helped me a lot
When I go to game 1, mines say saturation, hue, gain, and offset. What do I click

After the color changes, all the blue in my pc became purple.. like discord for example, and its too dark becuase of 33 precent brightness, why is that?
The low brightness was for the rec.709 standard which is for dark room viewing. About 100-120nits of brightness
@@CoachCSan ok makes sense but why is the colors changed to light purple on your rgb settings?
@@gokusgames maybe you haven't reset the original settings but you have to understand that some panels have being variance that similar calibrations won't work on it. So maybe yours is one of those. Good thing is that you can always reset them again.🙂 No harm done
Can you do it for the IPS panel? AW2720HF?
Ty!!
👍🏼
Not sure how the panels are the same. This model has a tn panel. The 2521hf has an ips panel
So I have this monitor and I use it for my PS5. I mostly just play GTA 5 until I get my PC built, but as for now what are the best settings for low input lag? Should I keep the response time on normal or super fast?
EXTREME MY FRIEND!
normal
Thanks
Nah bro i have this moni boy for at least 4 years now and never show a full settings vid
my settings are too diferent.
Doest work in the aw2518hf , settings are diferent.
Must’ve been an update
@@CoachCSan No they have completely different options for game1. The video does not address the hf model at all.
How i can adjust the screen area, Because its don’t give me a full screen.
My screen (same as this one) flickering all the time, what can I do?
I wouldn't know unless I see it, but Sometimes when it flickers is because of the port connection. I would only suggest that you change cables and see if it stops flickering.
Sorry I know this is an old video but do you have to use the Nvidia settings at all on the desktop for this to really pop or just these settings
To be honest, I can’t remember since it’s been a while that I got rid of that awesome monitor.
Should the brightness and contrast reset to 75 when complete or remain at the levels set before going to game 1 mode?
Reset everything, then do the adjustment and save it.

My Monitor is just pink now
I only play fortnite with this monitor mainly. would you still recommend these settings? or possibly another monitor you know of? I am gonna buy another soon
Just mess about with it till your happy with it
I got the AW2518HF and the menu isnt the same, in the RBGYMC i dont have the same menu as u so this guide doesnt work at all
It has gotten updates since the last time I review this and had some reports of changes. So I'm sorry if it doesn't work now.
@@CoachCSan aah i see, guess i got the updated one then! ty for the info!
man I felt the brightness too dark. Im not an especialist, using the HF version
Yeah only brought mine down to 58% everything felt waaay too dark lower than that but I think this is a good brightness.
Where is the menu bottom on the monitor
Yo bro, I have the Alienware AW2518HF and when I select game 1 I have 2 options to give me r,g,b,y,m. Hue and Saturation, what one should I change?
i have the same problem help
Just adjust the RGB ones, you rarely touch the hue or saturation ones when calibrating like this.
@@CoachCSan the rgbcmy is not available on this model. It only lets you adjust gain, offset, hue and saturation
Unfortunately I do not have the display anymore. That gain, offset options are meant to be calibrated for darker scenes and brighter scenes apart and it creates even better results.

Why you have your Response Time only to "Fast" ?
Because that's just a gaming feature not a color calibration settings. But you could change it to your preference.

@@youngone6558 Super Fast but it cause ghosting if you dont have a problem with that as I said Super Fast is the best in terms of response time which is 1ms
Which rbcmy do i go to in game mode the, Hue or the Saturation One???
Sat
For 2521HFLA?
Do you have color settings for BenQ 2710s
No not yet
when i go to Game1 i dont get the same menu. i dont get rgbcmy. same model monitor
Then check custom, it should allow you to adjust the settings.
Dont liked it in 2518hf, so dark and lost color fidelity

what about the response time?
