Unless your panel is calibrated this doesn't tell you anything useful.

post 8 points out why with default settings , nothing to do with calibration and subjective as some monitors have adaptive contrast enabled on default so it's not showing the true range of the panel.

Acer Predator X34P, #1, monitor is factory settings other than brightness turned down to 10.

I can see #1 on a Benq G2222HDL TN monitor on default/factory settings.

Geeeeeez , if you had to turn it down that low i can only imagine you needed welding googles when you first turned it on.

A couple of years back a guy posted a video about a ridiculously bright Dell that he had and when he turned it down it started to squeal and when he got below 40% it changed to a buzz and sounded like a sex toy.

14 tn acer xz321qu.....don't think my screen is set up properly

 

[Griff7520]

done it again with color settings at default in nvidia control panel and now it is 2

 

[Ice Tea]

Did you mean 1 to 4 or 14?

 

[Griff7520]

I meant 14 as in fourteen. reset the colours to default but the colour is not very good now

 

[Ice Tea]

Unless you're sitting with sunlight across the screen i'm generally shocked at 14 on a modern monitor.

 

[Griff7520]

its a fantastic monitor...it was just my settings I had set in control panel...I like bright colours when gaming...probably why I have eye problems with dry eyes a lot

 

[Dirk Diggler]

If calibration is out, it will affect when you see in that test irrespective of the panel type; It has everything to do with calibration.

Which has what to do with post 8 and a Monitor Engineer comments on the average factory default settings which is why the entire thread was started?

As said even default settings are subjective and it has nothing to do with end user calibration , just a generalization of his observations of panel types.

6 TN....an old HKC one from OcUK back in 2009, which I really should be replacing soon....
