Mines going back.

Color temperature between top and bottom is a joke!

How do you know this?

It's noticeable with the eye after calibration.

Bottom half is what you'd class as warm (6500k) top third or so looks a lot cooler (Blueish)

That’s why I won’t bother calibrating I think. Mine looks stunning to my untrained eye. No point risking spoiling it by pointless calibration.

Its still there when it's not calibrated. Can't even swap it because it's not longer in stock with Amazon!

Oh ok. Got to admit, haven’t noticed it with mine. Pretty uniform all over.

It's a shame because i do like the monitor.

Might look at ordering from OCUK now they've got fresh stock in. At least returns etc shouldn't be an issue here either.

Mine is also uniform as well. I don't have that issue

Has anyone used or created their own crosshairs yet?

Here's my calibration report.

D65 and Gamma 2.2

Brightness - 20
Gamma - 3
R - 97
G - 95
B - 100

I've got two slightly cooler patches on the screen (Top left and top right) so the uniformity isn't spot on, but, my eyes will no doubt adjust eventually!

I haven't done a run with the KD25F yet with DisplayCal but found my settings weren't far off with HCFR. Yes, settings don't mean anything from panel to panel or model to model but it was interesting to see how little changes it required.

I had to drop the backlight down to 11 for my room lighting. Think I had 128cdm2, R 97, G 100, B 95, 1008:1 contrast ratio and I had to go with Gamma 4. Gamma 3 was mostly lingering in the 2.1 range. It looked better with Gamma 4 ranging 2.25 to dips into 2.3 but mostly 2.25. The Gamma Off setting was hitting 2.4 - 2.5 in parts.

It's on its way back and I've ordered one from OCUK.

Hopefully, I'll get one that's not a mess. On the verge of giving up!

How many have you had now?

Yup, just a smaller version of the "+". And it does help improve aim. It becomes intuitive after a while and you can turn it off.

This will be my second.

Hoping it arrives today. Haven't had a dispatched email or anything as if yet

Anyone had an issue with the FW update?

Updated it to 7, from 2. It succeeded, i can tell as the sRGB mode is now emulation and the save settings option is there.

The OSD Application is showing it as 2?

It's a shame the crosshair has to be all one colour. I'd love to make a dot red with the outer crosshair white.

Mine did this. I just flashed it again and it's now correctly reading 7

EastCoastHandle · 18 Aug 2019 at 02:21

I wish someone posted a video showing the whole process. I'm curious to see how it goes.

Wow, great idea.

Already tried that and it still didn't work.

Used the older version of OSD sidekick from June and it's showing 7. So maybe an issue with the latest version of the Application.

Manufacturer date of this unit is also May 2019. Uniformity seems to be better than the previous. Still a little cool patch towards the bottom left I think, but it's not as obvious as the other panels were.

Colour accuracy seems better on this one too. Out the box 'Normal' Profile at 15 brightness was more or less accurate to use!

I think i rebooted the monitor too

EDIT: I have just updated the OSD to build 816 and now it reading F02 firmware
