Thanks, adding these for SDR 'time'. One thing I discovered thanks to Reddit. When i disabled Freesync in the OSD. Turned on HDR in Windows and turn back on Freesync in the OSD I also got Peak 1000 as a picture option.
@@houssamalucad753 so for the 24 inch mode it’s only 1080 resolution @ 240hz that you can switch too. Yes it has options to center the picture. Three settings for that actually upper part of the screen, lower part and center.
@@MrAiden81 that's disappointing, in their website they said "choose your prefered 24" resolution" so I thought it was possible to have a 1 to 1 pixel mapping in the options like the Asus model. I guess I have to shell out the extra cash for the asus then. Thanks for your help anyways
@@houssamalucad753 Aren't you scared of burn in though? If you care about such high FPS then it's probably some competitive game which then means that you'll likely play it on a daily basis. You'd just cause burn in this way. Better to get a 24" dedicated monitor.
Hi! Just a quick dumb question - Should I leave it in the sRGB mode all the time? Is sRGB the most color accurate/ideal mode to game, watch videos with etc?
I honestly prefer the "HDR" + ABL High mode on my unit. The "HDR GAME"+ ABL High just causes some highlights to be clipped, losing the fine details, especially on things like neon signs in a rainy night in Tokyo, and light reflecting on wet, grainy concrete footpaths for example.
That combination behaves like peak 1000 modes on other oled monitors so is a viable option. It’s darker than intended for mid grey shades at larger APL, but can reach the 1000 nits peak at least
For me, I end up using trueblack 400 (HDR + APL Middle). This gives no ABL and the brightness is pretty good, around 480 nits. The other modes are too aggressive and it can be noticable.
So i'm pretty new to all of this so I'm sorry for the dumb question. If I'm doing Auto HDR from windows and leave the monitor on HDR preset do I need to do anything or just leave it like that ? From what I understood most if not all the settings are for SDR content. The screen is 90 percent used for gaming, any other tips that I should know about ?
I have tried PG32UCDM, FO32U2P, AW3225QF, MPG321URX. I noticed that FO32U2P and AW3225QF are the only monitors that do not have a stuck pixel on the password field when logging in on Ubisoft app on the PC, to play a game like AC Odyssey. I find it weird. I have a 4090 FE and 7950X3D, 64 GB 6000 MTS CL 30 RAM. Two PG32UCDM from different retailers had this problem but the FO32U2P never had it.
If you had to but again, would it be this monitor. Is the Ai like sniper Zoom shadow booster good on the asus... Not sure which one to buy I play cod and battlefield
How does the monitor brightness setting affect the HDR tracking (accuracy)? Can you correct the wrong low brightness tracking of the game mode by reducing overall brightness? Would you thereby still reach brighter 3% details? I really don’t understand. 😅
Does the ICC profile goes hand in hand with the settings in this video or we are fine with just setting it without the profile? Sorry, i'm new to all of this.
They go together. The OSD settings will get you some way there , but the ICC profile includes further corrections like gamma tweaks, colour accuracy refinement and also importantly clamping of the wide gamut custom mode back to the sRGB colour space for colour aware applications (if you want to do that)
I am considering purchasing the newly released Philips 32m2n8800 OLED monitor. It seems that it also has a specification of 4k 240hz, using the same panel. However, I am not sure if it is glossy or not. In theory, this panel should not have a matte finish. I just want to confirm and see if you can provide any information to assist.🥺
They should all have the exact same standard semi glossy finish of the QD OLED panels. The only exception are Samsungs own new Odyssey models where they have added an additional matte AG coating themselves
Hi, so I just got this monitor today and OMG it’s amazing motion and color and better than the ALIENWARE AW3225qf. But how do I make windows say HDR PEAK 1000? Mine only says HDR PEAK 465 ?

Can you comment on the colors vs the Asus in HDR modes. I am having trouble adjusting to the GB coming from the Asus. It seems more vivid but not sure which is correct.
Another question,i've checked fo32u2p,PG32UCDM,aw3225qf reviews article,It seems that the blue light peak of these several monitors is similar, but you only mentioned that the Alienware monitor has passed TUV low blue light certification. Can you explain the situation of the other two monitors? Do they also belong to hardware low blue light?
@@tftcentral So, what you mean is that they all have hardware low blue light according to the TUV low blue light standard, but they haven't reached the level of eyesafe, right?
@mr_future they aren’t certified under the Eye Safe scheme although these are competing standards and approaches and there’s not really a consensus on what is better. It’s a complicated area really
Reach out to gigabyte and also the retailer, we need as many people on their case so we get a fix in the next firmware update, have you reached out to them?
Hi I have an 'interesting problem' with this monitor > AORUS FO32U2 ... it looks like it is not loading the selected profile... it starts from some default one, manually switch in 'pictures' to another one, back to the previously selected one and then loads all the previously selected settings - including the color temperature - the standard one is too warm ... Yours saves the settings and reads them later - after starting or waking up?
Hey, so I got mine a few days ago and love it, but what I've noticed is a loss of detail in very bright regions, like, I'm in hdr mode too, would this contrast setting fix that or should I switch back to sdr?
@@zenmusashi6316 so what i do is sdr mainly, then toggle hdr on while playing games. The nvidia settings alter both sdr and hdr the same. It could help. Worth trying anyways. You can just mess with it and reset the settings to default if it doesn't look good. Also try the monitors settings too.
@@tftcentral so i read through your guide and tried some things, it seems a combo of things solved my problem, it could be anyone of them but i got it under control, but both my lost of details in ultra white scenarios is gone and over saturation of some colors
This monitor should let us adjust everything but most importantly the color space. Feel like HDR image is too saturated at times. Also, comparing this to my Asus 32ucdm, this one is significantly brighter in default HDR mode APL high vs Asus console hdr mode. Any idea why that is? Which is more accurate?
This should explain the HDR brightness observations. The GB’s default HDR mode is like a true black 400 mode, while the Asus’ Console HDR mode is like peak 1000 tftcentral.co.uk/articles/testing-hdr400-true-black-and-peak-1000-mode-brightness-on-new-oled-monitors
Since this monitor has a Displayport Out socket (for daisy chaining), could you use it to connect to a soundbar? If you use a Displayport-to-HDMI adapter cable would it passthrough 5.1 audio or Dolby Atoms?
@@tftcentral oh well, guess we'll still need two cables coming out of the GPU then. Would be nice if monitor manufacturers included an eARC socket for hi def audio and surround sound passthrough.
The Oled care function aren’t so deep customizable as the once from Msi, right? You section about Oled care isn’t deep so maybe it’s equal but not shown
I set mine HDR game. Dark enhancer off. Contrast 62. Color enhancer 1 and APL medium. I wanted to enhance the color without making it too dark or too bright
I don't have all those settings on mine unless I'm missing something, the nipple at the center bottom only gives me black adjust pushing back ,a choice of modes(nonadjustable) pushing right, volume pushing left..no extended menu as shown in your vid, any ideas?
Try it and see? This should get you close to 6500K. It may still look warm if you’ve been used to a very cool screen before so give it a bit of time to get used to it if so
Most of them should apply yes. The brightness and colour settings may or may not be different depending on Gigabytes firmware and setup but I expect them to be the same really
Hello, for the tactical 24" mode, I was told the only available resolution is 1080p???? if that's the case it's pretty stupid because it means the image will be upscaled and have horrible quality (not 1 to 1 pixel mapping like the Asus and LG 24" modes), could you ask Gigabyte why would they take such a weird decision to lock the resolution on an unoptimized one for that size and PPI?
hmm I had my previous LCD at 160nits, but this one I seem to prefer the default 85. I think its because of the massive contrast by OLED 🤔 Not sure what I should do now hmmm
@@tftcentral Did you have the APL Stabilize on SDR on its default "low" setting? Because once I did set it to "Middle" Brightness of 50% suddenly feels great.
I love your work but HDR setting on HDR game/high APL is just a deal breaker for me. For night time gameplay it's like playing with a full moon with snow on the ground, the screen is so bright you'd think you are playing during a cloudy day. There's no way to think it's night time. Normal HDR with APL High looks to me much closer to what you would expect from playing during night time. As a side note, I can play in a dark or nearly dark room. But anyway, thanks for your work, I like your SDR setting.
Yeah that’s fair, our review covers a load of different HDR testing and it will come down to user preference, ambient lighting and the game you’re playing
both sRGB and Custom recommendations look very bland, flat, and blown out at times. Am I doing something wrong? I made another profile and it looks great, but it is so f-ing bright to get it to look good.
Stupid question but how can you access this menu? I just got this monitor but neither the Aorus software suite nor the monitor firmware menu looks remotely like that. Maybe I have to do the firmware update for this menu to appear?
So basically there is no menu on my monitor, just the 4 quick access options (4 directions of the joystick). I tried different key combinations but nothing seems to open the big menu.
@@tftcentral Thanks! Important to know how it would work, but I already tried that. I guess I will update it and try again. I hope the physical button isn’t faulty.
Is there a way to adjust the black levels when playing on Auto HDR with old games? they look blown out and the contrast / gamma is all messed up. Using your icc with HDR default at Medium APL.
@@tftcentral Yes, that is what I use. HDR default with Medium APL. HDR auto on Windows 11 just blows out the blacks to turn them gray if the game doesn't support HDR?
for some reason Im otn getting the standard OSD menu - its giving me options HRD/HDR Game/HDR movie ect, no Eco or SRGB when on the Picture menu. Cant figure out why, maybe because Im using HDMI?
@redders84 yes as it’s the input source signal that triggers the monitor going in to HDR mode. There’s a windows shortcut for it for NVIDIA users which is windows key + Alt + B which makes it quick and easy to switch
@@tftcentral Thank you very much for the answer, luckily I don't notice ABL at all. The only weird thing is that I came from a 32 curved monitor to this flat and it's so weird, it looks like it's bending backwards :D I hope I can get used to it because Alienware is still out of stock in my country and I can't return my old VA panel.
Is there a way to the display work with the OOTF used for video, because if I have seen this correctly the only option to use the sRGB gammut is by using the sRGB preset, which then disables the Gamma_2.4 option. That means that the Gamma_2.0 videosignal, can't be viewed with the 1.2 OOTF by using the Gamma2.4 or bt.1886 gamma-function, but instead get's a 1.1 OOTF, because of the locked Gamma_2.2 ... a mathematical transform of the color-management output to a 1.8 Gamma could result in a OOTF of 1.2(22222), but this is not officially allowed ... Do you know if there is a way to get a "rec709" display structure with this monitor without an external LUT-box (or ICC-profile) to be able to use this monitor for at least normal editing work? => e.g. Is it possible to map the RGB color-primaries to their corisponding positions with the 6-axis controll of the monitor? and do you know which numbers need to be set to achieve this? Best regards, Nico
@@tftcentral Thanks for the answer - I highly appreciate that :) But just as a question - Isn't it posiible to map the Red, Green and Blue primary channelt to the sRGB primary-point with the 6-axis controll by reducing the max. saturation and rotating the hue to match the sRGB hue values? And by doing so the Temp slider as well as individual RGB controll for ColorTemperature and Green-Magenta conpensation would be still accessable ...
@nicoweiberg maybe I suppose. That’s not something we’ve ever tried, and I’m not sure how you’d go about identifying the correct values even if that did work
@@tftcentral I would probably take the "acceptable calibrated" sRGB mode to reference the R, G and B primaries with a decent camera and take the videofeed of the 3 colorprimaries and take "grabs" of a vectorscope ... then switch to one of the manual-editable modes and change the primaries until they exactly match the grabed overlay on the vectorscope. (even though the camera won't show a correct copy of "what can be seen on the screen" due to the very extrem spectral disctribution of modern OLED screens, it can still be used for such a comparison, because it's the same screen with the exact same spectral distribution. we simply adjust the "how much G and B has to be added to the R primarie to get it to the rec709 R-primary" ...
@@tftcentral Do you offer an ICC profile for the "rec.709 standard" with bt.1886 Gammafunction (or with the Gamma_2.4 curve) instead of the sRGB Gammafunction?
Very well done, GTA looks amazing on this monitor in 4K, 240Hz, HDR, and with all monitor and GFX settings set to 'Maximum' and/or 'Ultra'. It won't go any higher than 180FPS in GTA, lol. Cheers mate. EDIT: I forgot to say, I'm just now waiting on the RTX 5000 series or better yet, the RTX5090, so we can connect DP 2.1 natively. Heard any rumors on when we could expect a RTX5000 series? I am hearing November 2024, but possibly for the RTX5070, not 5090., Either way, I forgot to mention it, this monitor is VERY future-proofed.
My understanding is FreeSync and Gsync compatible are all based on the identical technical standard so there's no actual difference between them beyond certification sticker. There is Gsync tho which is only for Nvidia cards with hardware acceleration but I hear they're pretty expensive monitors.
I don't know why people just don't leave the monitor on ECO mode. It's colour seems fine and is more than bright enough for casual browsing and the likes.
I have both currently. I feel the Asus is calibrated more, but this panel is significantly brighter for some reason when using console hdr on Asus. It was shocking.l The power brick is smaller on the GB and the Vesa mounting is better as well, the Asus uses a weird circle adapter.
Well not dangerous, no. But it might increase your risk of image retention. Just be careful with static uses, use the image OLED care options provided. And you’ve got a warranty cover too so you should be fine
Well that’s impossible to define as it will depend entirely on your desk height, your line of sight, how tall you are, your eye sight etc. just set it to comfort
@@tftcentral Ok, I found out that you just have to push the panel up and down and that a spring is keeping it in the desired position. But I was missing an instruction until I finally figured it out myself.
All OLED’s do but it very much depends on the game, content, frame rates and other system variables. Whether or not you’d ever experience it or find it a problem is very hard to comment on I’m afraid

But anyway, thanks for your work, I like your SDR setting.
Yeah that’s fair, our review covers a load of different HDR testing and it will come down to user preference, ambient lighting and the game you’re playing
Can't you just reduce the brightness in HDR Game mode?
both sRGB and Custom recommendations look very bland, flat, and blown out at times. Am I doing something wrong? I made another profile and it looks great, but it is so f-ing bright to get it to look good.
Same. I set mine HDR game. Dark enhancer off. Contrast 62. Color exchange 1 and APL medium
It was too dark and too bland on default
what is your profile
When will Gigabyte fix the EDID bug man?
it is there
Still saving up money, so by the end of the year I can see what I want and what's our
Stupid question but how can you access this menu? I just got this monitor but neither the Aorus software suite nor the monitor firmware menu looks remotely like that. Maybe I have to do the firmware update for this menu to appear?
So basically there is no menu on my monitor, just the 4 quick access options (4 directions of the joystick). I tried different key combinations but nothing seems to open the big menu.
@tomriddle2257 try pressing the joystick toggle in as if it was a button
@@tftcentral Thanks! Important to know how it would work, but I already tried that. I guess I will update it and try again. I hope the physical button isn’t faulty.
Is there a way to adjust the black levels when playing on Auto HDR with old games? they look blown out and the contrast / gamma is all messed up.
Using your icc with HDR default at Medium APL.
Try the specific “HDR” preset mode instead of Game
@@tftcentral Wait where do i find that? It's not the whole HDR, Vivid, Movie stuff ye?
Yeah that’s what I mean. The default one labelled as simply “HDR” is the most accurate
@@tftcentral Yes, that is what I use. HDR default with Medium APL.
HDR auto on Windows 11 just blows out the blacks to turn them gray if the game doesn't support HDR?
@eyescreamsandwitch52 ah ok. Well that’s probably a windows / software related issue. Trying to upscale SDR to HDR isn’t always great
for some reason Im otn getting the standard OSD menu - its giving me options HRD/HDR Game/HDR movie ect, no Eco or SRGB when on the Picture menu. Cant figure out why, maybe because Im using HDMI?
It’s because you’ve got HDR enabled all the time in windows. Only enable that when you’re viewing actual HDR content
@@tftcentral Ahh thanks! And theres no way to do that form the monitor? I need to change the windows display setting each time?
@redders84 yes as it’s the input source signal that triggers the monitor going in to HDR mode. There’s a windows shortcut for it for NVIDIA users which is windows key + Alt + B which makes it quick and easy to switch
This may be a terrible question, but can anyone tell me if the settings in the GCC app are supposed to be set to standard?
Would love to see a video just focused on HDR
What if I use APL stabilization on medium in SDR? It gives a nice boost in brightness that I need for one particular game.
That’s fine to do if you prefer the brightness boost. It just leads to some required ABL dimming but in dynamic content you may not even notice that
@@tftcentral Thank you very much for the answer, luckily I don't notice ABL at all. The only weird thing is that I came from a 32 curved monitor to this flat and it's so weird, it looks like it's bending backwards :D I hope I can get used to it because Alienware is still out of stock in my country and I can't return my old VA panel.
Btw can I boost brightness in SDR on alienware AW3225QF also like on this aorus ?
You’ll get used to it with a bit of time. I was the same when switching between curved and flat 😀
Not in SDR no
Is there a way to the display work with the OOTF used for video, because if I have seen this correctly the only option to use the sRGB gammut is by using the sRGB preset, which then disables the Gamma_2.4 option. That means that the Gamma_2.0 videosignal, can't be viewed with the 1.2 OOTF by using the Gamma2.4 or bt.1886 gamma-function, but instead get's a 1.1 OOTF, because of the locked Gamma_2.2 ... a mathematical transform of the color-management output to a 1.8 Gamma could result in a OOTF of 1.2(22222), but this is not officially allowed ... Do you know if there is a way to get a "rec709" display structure with this monitor without an external LUT-box (or ICC-profile) to be able to use this monitor for at least normal editing work? => e.g. Is it possible to map the RGB color-primaries to their corisponding positions with the 6-axis controll of the monitor? and do you know which numbers need to be set to achieve this?
Best regards, Nico
I don’t believe there’s any other option to clamp the gamut than using the sRGB preset or an icc profile I’m afraid
@@tftcentral Thanks for the answer - I highly appreciate that :)
But just as a question - Isn't it posiible to map the Red, Green and Blue primary channelt to the sRGB primary-point with the 6-axis controll by reducing the max. saturation and rotating the hue to match the sRGB hue values? And by doing so the Temp slider as well as individual RGB controll for ColorTemperature and Green-Magenta conpensation would be still accessable ...
@nicoweiberg maybe I suppose. That’s not something we’ve ever tried, and I’m not sure how you’d go about identifying the correct values even if that did work
@@tftcentral I would probably take the "acceptable calibrated" sRGB mode to reference the R, G and B primaries with a decent camera and take the videofeed of the 3 colorprimaries and take "grabs" of a vectorscope ... then switch to one of the manual-editable modes and change the primaries until they exactly match the grabed overlay on the vectorscope. (even though the camera won't show a correct copy of "what can be seen on the screen" due to the very extrem spectral disctribution of modern OLED screens, it can still be used for such a comparison, because it's the same screen with the exact same spectral distribution. we simply adjust the "how much G and B has to be added to the R primarie to get it to the rec709 R-primary" ...
@@tftcentral Do you offer an ICC profile for the "rec.709 standard" with bt.1886 Gammafunction (or with the Gamma_2.4 curve) instead of the sRGB Gammafunction?
Mine comes tomorrow
Very well done, GTA looks amazing on this monitor in 4K, 240Hz, HDR, and with all monitor and GFX settings set to 'Maximum' and/or 'Ultra'. It won't go any higher than 180FPS in GTA, lol. Cheers mate. EDIT: I forgot to say, I'm just now waiting on the RTX 5000 series or better yet, the RTX5090, so we can connect DP 2.1 natively. Heard any rumors on when we could expect a RTX5000 series? I am hearing November 2024, but possibly for the RTX5070, not 5090., Either way, I forgot to mention it, this monitor is VERY future-proofed.
Not heard anything firm on next gen NVIDIA cards yet I’m afraid
Is the absence of gsync a problem thinking of rtx 5000 series?
It still supports NVIDIA Gsync fine so no
My understanding is FreeSync and Gsync compatible are all based on the identical technical standard so there's no actual difference between them beyond certification sticker. There is Gsync tho which is only for Nvidia cards with hardware acceleration but I hear they're pretty expensive monitors.
Could you do the fo27q3?
I don't know why people just don't leave the monitor on ECO mode. It's colour seems fine and is more than bright enough for casual browsing and the likes.
Wait a minute, the F32UP2 is availble Since when?? I want it so bad, espacially the DP2.1 !! 😀
Available in some regions now. Check out our link in the description to keep track 😀
Wasn’t only the version out DP2.1 that was out
Hey mine just came in today and it's amazing I'm just awestruck by the picture quality
Is this gsync compatible?
Nvidia control panel detects it as G-Sync Compatible device for me
@@De-M-oN thanks this may be the one
How does this compare to the Asus? Besides 2.1
I have both currently. I feel the Asus is calibrated more, but this panel is significantly brighter for some reason when using console hdr on Asus. It was shocking.l The power brick is smaller on the GB and the Vesa mounting is better as well, the Asus uses a weird circle adapter.
Will this work with the 27" version
You can enable 1440p 27" too, disable freesync and let system resolution be 4k but play game in 1440p looks good to me!
Is it compatible with gsync ?
Yes
I’m stuck at 60fps I’m using the 4090 with the HDMI 2.1 any reason why?
Is there another section in NVIDIA control panel further down with Pc resolutions and refresh rates?
@@tftcentral This! I had same issue on other panels, scroll further down
Had this issue with DP being locked at 200hz, bug with multi monitor setup it seemed..
There must be a software-side cap in operating system options or in the game. I doubt it’s the monitor.
my brightness settings near 90 is this dangerous for my screen(sdr mode)? Thank you.
Well not dangerous, no. But it might increase your risk of image retention. Just be careful with static uses, use the image OLED care options provided. And you’ve got a warranty cover too so you should be fine
@@tftcentral i understand thank you for the information sir.
OK, this shows a lot of settings, but not the most important one: The height adjustment.
Well that’s impossible to define as it will depend entirely on your desk height, your line of sight, how tall you are, your eye sight etc. just set it to comfort
@@tftcentral Ok, I found out that you just have to push the panel up and down and that a spring is keeping it in the desired position. But I was missing an instruction until I finally figured it out myself.
wish it was 27 or 28"
there are 27" 1440p 360hz models coming, let us enjoy our big 4k screen
Does this monitor have VRR flickering
All OLED’s do but it very much depends on the game, content, frame rates and other system variables. Whether or not you’d ever experience it or find it a problem is very hard to comment on I’m afraid
Seems like new firmware broke HDR game mode. it is more washed out than before.
Wheres the video review i cant read
Sorry there’s only a written review for this model
DP 2.1 FTW
