Hi, so I now have a new setup including a 4090 and AW3423DWF monitor.

I am very new to deciding on settings for a monitor so i'm wondering if anyone has the same setup and could share what they have done?

One stange thing im noticing is some weird light emitting around youtube videos, I'll try to attach a picture of it. Is this a setting or just normal?

I have HDR1000 on.

Thanks
 
That weird glow you're talking about is some abient settting, either in Youtube or in Windows. Nothing to do with the monitor there. I forget where the setting is to turn that off though at this time. Someone else might have a more detailed piece that'll help you turn it off. But for now, nothing to be concerned about.

Found it. In the Youtube video player itself, select the cog (settings), then turn off the "Ambient Mode". That'll turn off the glow around the video.

As for the rest (settings in general with a 4090 and this monitor) I'm afraid I can't help there as I use an AMD GPU. But I know several users with the 4090 and this monitor, so they should be along at some point with pointers.

If you game i personally turn HDR off i don't like that was it feels. there is a lot of you tube videos as HDR and PC gaming
I let Geforce experience set games up

I use mobo/rts mode with 70% brightness, 75% contrast. HDR off in games

Thanks, what’s the reasoning for having HDR off in games? I’m finding that with HDR on, everything looks more realistic.

Its as if with HDR off, colours look a bit too forced if that makes sense.

For me without it already looks f great, I mostly play fps games.

I'm going through a bit of an episode with this currently! I think it's just personal preference. I *REALLY* want to like HDR on this monitor, but I just enjoy how much the colors pop with it off.

Maybe it comes down to the games we're playing? As I'm playing a lot of Diablo 4/WoW/FFXIV with more stylistic graphics that aren't going for realism, when HDR reduces the vibracy a bit it ends up just looking super washed out by comparison. Maybe if I booted up Death Stranding and the grass was so unnaturally green It was making my eyes bleed or something, I'd try again haha :cry:
 
Unless you really want oversaturated colours etc then the correct way is to just leave the monitor in Creator mode, sRGB output and the gamma relative to what is accurate, on the DW the OSD gamma at 2.4 is accurate to 2.2 in Windows, not sure if the same applies to the DWF but since they're effectively the same panel, it should do.

In games the you'll be getting accurate colours in SDR as the developers intended, which is still very nice and punchy and bright where it needs to be. I see no reason to change the actual brightness in the OSD to anything so high as 70 etc. My 24/7 setting is 42 and 66 for contrast. These reflect a hardware measure closeness to what my old HW LUT calibrated IPS panel was before going QD-OLED and everything looks accurate to my eyes for photo editing and gaming alike.

4090 here too.

To get the best out of the VRR features of these, also enabled Low Latency mode in NVCP to Ultra, then set Vsync to On. This will allow VRR to work at its best and the fps won't go above the VRR range. There is a setting also called Monitor Technology, on my DW it's set as Gsync, on the DWF it's probably going to be called FreeSync of Gsync Compatible. This will stop the display tearing if some games go above the fps/refresh rate without any further need to set fps caps or anything in-game or via any other setting.
