Hi guys, I just pulled the trigger and bought this beast, i tried my best to hold my self not to buy it, but in the end i won, and my mind loose

Well, its here on my disk and its just perfect, no issues at all, maybe im just lucky,
out of the box without any calibration the monitor its just amazing, i was thought HDR its not worth it, but honestly guys HDR it just amazing, i really want to replay all my games just to enjoy the amazing lights and colors.

Please, Any recommend calibration, i read that 98hz is the best setting for 10bit and RGBs4:4:4 ?
also what best for other settings. i found many in google, but not sure, i think its not the best setting for me, i mean for my eyes at least.

Just use 120hz 8bit 4:4:4, it looks no different to 98hz 10 bit in HDR at all, even reviewers said so. 144hz at 4:2:2 10 bit i can see a slight difference in image quality as expected so i stick to 120hz. The mid overdrive setting is best and leaving the specific HDR brightness setting at 80 works fine as does the FALD backlight speed of fast. My monitor when i used a calibration tool needed no adjustments as it hit 2.2 gamma, perfect greyscale and colours for SDR. I just altered the backlight setting for SDR content as per my preference. Make sure to use the FALD backlight even for SDR content as it looks much better in games. I also set the colour gamut to be sRGB when in SDR content as the full gamut makes colours look really over saturated.

Thank you.
I didn't yet explore all the OSD setting, but will check tonight after work,
In some games I can see HDR RBGs & HDR 10, which is better ? RGBs looks better for me ?

If you are talking about far cry 5 and far cry new dawn then scRGB is much better than HDR10. Shadow of the tomb raider and Forza Horizon 4 are great HDR games as well.
