I feel you

I use 100 brightness, I’m not playing in dark room lmao

yeah generally lower brightness is far healthier for your eyes and brain. I think it looks better as well

Turn a light on?

I'm using 20 brightness on this monitor in bright room.

Just put my order in, ill give this a shot over the weekend

thank you sir for this precious comment! just used these settings and it looks great..

how can i activate the black stabilizer ??

@@danilomarkovic9216turn hdr off

These damn panels are trash, my LG OLED TV has Contrast at 100 and Brightness at 50 and looks great, on this panel Contrast at 100 washes out all the whites, totally backward.

I only use the 180Hz mode on this monitor lol I definitely notice a difference, this guy has no idea.

Hi, do you find the colors and the visuals beautiful and sharp with your settings?

@@combineforce9596 looks more natural with these settings having the saturation down to 42. Personal taste. No harm in trying them. 🙂

thanks im using gamer 2 mode, setting the sharpness to 60 from 70 really helped with pure black text on pure white background. before it looked like letters had weird colors around them

Black stabilizer at 60 is grey and 55 is more black but in games in 60 when I'm looking around feels more fluid

What about Motion Blur or adaptive sync for gaming?!

Hi Olgierd, have you tried changing the preset modes?

Turn off HDR in windows

Bruh! I brought 3 of the exact same monitors and all of them have different settings and 1 of them have all the options blocked. Its so irksome!

Did u find a better explanation?

This took me awhile to figure out. I guess when you bring up the menu the settings are already selected: It looked like it was just a logo in the middle. So really you just have to press the control stick thing twice in a row to get to the settings

did you find a fix?

@@nhj. Is it the default borders, you can't lower them

@@Superchoco25ESP alright, thank you!

the problem is if u wanna use the overclock on this monitor u need to enable adaptive sync.. which is annoying

do you actually?@@freespirit0788

Just turn off in menu General/Smart Energy Saving.

@@petarsremac8495 I tried litteraly everything and didnt work. AMD released new drivers with a fix in it and it worked out instantly. So it was AMD drivers that caused the issue.

@@progressive091 Tale as old as time.

For static reading and studying; the very low min brightness helps. On the flipside, this IPS panel isn't really the best for text sharpness - you really have to play with settings to get that right. It's just a great all rounder. but there isn't a native eye saver mode though, like samsung monitors, nor is it a Kindle :).

This is standard unfortunately, I believe those settings are locked to get the best out of the "extended" adaptive sync, although I am still not sure what real world benefit the extended setting gives tbh...

The joy con on the underneath of the center of the monitor. Click the joy con twice and you can access all settings.

Try using a display port connection and changing settings in windows. Also depends on how old your hardware is, some older graphics cards do not have the right ports.

same .....its driving me mad

Very good monitor for the price you pay, uk around £300, don’t let the low contrast put you off just mess with settings to your preference and it’s barely noticeable

boought it for 300, amazing price for such a good monitor even if its "old", 10 bits 1440p good colors and hz, such a good deal.

Still enjoy using it. Its not the best but at the price point, its perfect. I do notice the contrast in dark scenes but its acceptable in overall use for me. ☺️

Late reply, but maybe someone else has this question. Using DisplayPort I guess. Many options aren't available there. Also HDR on disables some, I guess.

@@Skalli10 hey mate thanks for the reply

update i returned the screen and got a new one. its not supposed to be that dark, the new one looks 10x better in league, i think i have it at 1.10 gamma now. if something seems sus with a new monitor or tv always return it

Glad you got it sorted and thanks for the words of wisdom. Couldn't agree more 👍

Thank you! You should keep MBR and adaptive sync off for best performance. I do not believe the ECO mode has much impact on the performance, it'll probably turn of your monitor LED and make the screen dimmer. Other than that, it should not do a huge amount to performance.

@@DoubleTakeTechUk got this monitor brand new, question why i can run it in only 59 hz? im using windows 11 laptop rtx 3050

@@kokon2010 thats strange. What cable are you plugged in with? Have you changed the refresh rate in windows?

Are you using HDMI? It can only do 165Hz over displayport

​ @nazzleweed875 I don't currently have it but I am looking to buy it this current week. The main question was if it actually is 165Hz, and if everything needed for it is fully included. Amazon shows a picture of 165Hz but shows 144Hz in the specs.

I bought mine off amazon and the listing they have for the 27gp850-b it says 165/180Hz OC in the title of the listing but in the description it says 144 or 165Hz from what I remember. But it does ship the 27gp850-b. They have the description wrong. This monitor should cost around $300-350 USD right now. When I got it in 2021 it was $599 USD.

What should I do?

That is not normal, for sure! This is something I would be calling customer service for. It could be something to do with HDR/ Dynamic local zone lighting, but what you are describing sounds very extreme, so I am not sure. Sorry I couldn't be of much help, honestly never heard of this particular issue before? For the sake of my curiosity, let me know what customer service tell you.

Try changing your response time to normal. Thats the best setting under 100 fps for ghosting 👍

It's not the monitor, it's windows. I assume you are using Win 10 or older. Windows 10 uses SRGB color space and this monitor is wide color gamut, which in short means all colors (specially red) will be overly saturated.

@@ag4640 I have the same problem in Win11, it's very annoying. In most videos and pictures everyone looks like they are sunburned and there is a lot of glow. I tried multiple settings, icc from factory, rtings, rgb settings, nvidia settings, everything.. I don't know what I should try anymore.

@@Lanka_99 yeah, color profiles won't solve the issue since only supporting programs will make use of them. There are 2 solutions. Either to set the monitor to sRGB mode (recommended). You’ll lose a little bit of controls, but by setting RGB color format and Full dynamic range on your GPU control panel you’ll get accurate colors with deep blacks. OR, turn HDR mode in Windows (Win 11 is best option since it has an HDR calibration app). This way the entire OS will use the native color space of the monitor and saturation will be no more. Just be aware that this mode only makes sense with Auto HDR enabled, which can cause fullscreen problems in certain games.

@@ag4640Thank you for your help. The weird thing is that even in sRGB mode it did not fix the issue, only slightly. What happend is that the red is still there but slighly greyed out. I start to think that there is something wrong with my monitor and not the settings.

@@Lanka_99 Have you set in your GPU control panel RGB/Full Dynamic Range/10 bpc? Aside from that, the colors in sRGB mode should be accurate. It’s just that you come from seeng an extremely saturated red and when you compare it with a property shown red you get the feeling that the colors are just washed out or even slightly changed. But trust me, that’s how it should look like. If you have an OLED phone or tablet like an iPad (they tend to be color accurate), google "shades of [insert color] wikipedia" and compare the images. You will see that the colors in your monitor are indeed accurate.

As mentioned, have you tried changing the profile to Gamer 1 or Gamer 2?

Hi Jasper. You will have to use the display port to utilise G Sync.

​@@DoubleTakeTechUk if my laptop with rtx 3070 doesn`t have display port? can i use hdmi adapter to display port?

Yes - it’s dropped a lot in price as well so a good buy these days.

Hi Tranello, to my knowledge, no, a remote does not exist for this monitor.

It can be greyed out with certain other setting on. Have tried turning off adaptive sync and then try it?

@@DoubleTakeTechUk if I turn off Adaptive Sync, isn't screen flickering gonna be an issue?

Try changing the mode you are using in 'Game Mode'. Some versions do block out certain settings based on which mode you are in.

Turn off adaptive sync and overclock. Then will be unlocked.

Hi Dabu, you should be able to view a similar menu using the joy stick at the center - bottom of the screen.

@@DoubleTakeTechUk shit I'm dumb... I thought that was only to turn it on/off

It does disable some settings when using HDR as those have to be standardised for the HDR experience.

From monitor settings

Turn on the overclock and then go into display settings

Thanks for the comment Jv. If you watch the detailed review by hardware unboxed, you will see the response time can be 1ms on faster response time curve in some situations. The main reason for not suggesting the fastest mode is, you see ghosting in this mode more so than the others. The response times are still very impressive around 5ms and you will not be able to tell the difference as a user.

@@DoubleTakeTechUk thank you very much for replying, subscribed to you bro

Hello bro!Why is my motion blur reduction disabled?I can’t change it.I tried fast and faster response time but it’s still fade

With a display port if it has the connection 🫡

Hi Ivan. Thats a real shame but I hope one of the things in the list below help you out: 1. Turn down the brightness 2. Turn off HDR 3. Use highest available refresh rate 4. Try adjusting the colours towards the 'warm spectrum' (reduce blue, increase red) 5. Wear special blue light filter glasses 6. Don't play in a completely dark room, have a soft light behind the screen or on the wall you are facing 7. Don't sit too close to the monitor, have enough distance that you don't have to constantly move your eyes to see each corner. Also try to move your head rather than just eyes when looking in different directions. I hope these tips do help. Let me know how you get on.

I use the same monitor brightness on 100 an in game brightness on 55 . No problems on my eyes , i just a bit back from the screen.

I wouldn’t risk it when it comes to eyes. The panel has known flickering/ vrr issues, so this could be particularly bad on your panel, and you might be extra sensitive to it. If you can change it, go for it. Nothing is more important then your health!

I think you would need a DisplayPort 1.4

@Elunne345 Ah, okay. Do you have any recommendations for a USB Type C to Displayport Cable?

I'm not sure, I'm also looking for one hahaha

@@Elunne345 All good!

Thank you for the comment. We would suggest faster. Hope that helps.

Hi Zach, I have looked online and can see a lot of people are complaining about eye strain on the Xbox Series X. Seems like people who are using the same monitor / tv for a ps5 'non strained session', are finding the series X to cause eye strain within 30minutes. I could suggest a few things but without experiencing the issue myself, it would be difficult to root cause. 1. Turn down the brightness 2. Turn off HDR 3. Use highest available refresh rate 4. Try adjusting the colours towards the 'warm spectrum' (reduce blue, increase red) 5. Wear special blue light filter glasses 6. Don't play in a completely dark room, have a soft light behind the screen or on the wall you are facing 7.

@@DoubleTakeTechUk thank you so much!!! I haven’t been able to give much of a try these last 2 weeks. But I did get blue light glasses and will make sure I do all the steps you listed and give it a try! You believe based on the research you did that it’s because of the xbox? I was thinking it was just me personally lol.

@@zachpomara5376 Please let me know how you get on. Yes, there are a lot of threads suggesting this to be something xbox series X users are experiencing. You can also try connecting it to a different monitor / TV to see if you feel the same about it.

Nothing to worry about here; just use extended. Extended covers a wider fps range. Sometimes, the extended option can give some issues (rarely), so i think thats why LG gives the basic version as well.

Why can't u disable extended with overclock?

all settings are availible only if HDR is off..

Try changing your response times. At 60 fps the normal one should perform better.

A little, but it still looks smeared when i move the camera in game.@@DoubleTakeTechUk

Try changing colour temperature through the Picture Adjust -> Color Temp

@@DoubleTakeTechUkSadly it has no effect on this problem. I contacted LG service about it today.

Hard to say without knowing your settings, but I am sure it’s because your are on 1080p. This monitor is not geared for ps5 as ps5 does not support 1440p (it’s either hd or 4K). Check out this thread; www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/qgwy4y/samsung_odyssey_g7_and_ps5/
