do i have to enable these - can anyone please help?

Tried the same cable as you today and still no better. Had some flickering in ESO but WoW looked great. Surfing the web was the worst thing for me, ghosting of text especially when scrolling and colours looking very dark on some sites, even using the OCUK forums was a pain. Hooked my Dell S2716DG back up and all looking great again. Perhaps I just got a bad one but not willing to try again so sending it back.

In relation to my above post here is the first menu option, with most of the options blanked out - i cant get a screenshot to embed on my ipad but on the picture adjust menu i can only change overdrive, black tuner and color saturation

did you ever work out why some menu options were greyed out for you? I’m having this issue now
Some features on the monitor can only be used on their own or with other settings off, so they get disabled.
Having HDR on or auto will disable most of the picture settings and the colour settings. Similarly using any I-Colour mode will disable all the picture settings.
Enabling Freesync will disable the Picture Mode settings (PBP/PIP).
MBR being on will also disable some picture settings, As will enabling HDR or Freesync.
Using Overdrive will disable Direct Drive, while using Direct Drive will disable most other features - HDR, Freesync, Overdrive, MBR, basically anything except colour and brightness settings.

thanks - this worked a treat
Supposedly weighs 10.9Kg without stand.
Hi guys, I found this monitor brand new for 450€, what do you think? After months of usage, do you recommend it? I know about the flickering issue (hope that's not going to be a problem), but other than that you have any important dealbreakers that can let me go look somewhere else for that pricepoint (even used)?
Thank you
Thank you
Sounds like a dodgy DP cable. Are you using a VESA-certified one?
I got the flat IPS version of this monitor. While I do recommend it, I'd suggest, if that's a possibility for you, to have it checked in the store. I've heard of people having to return theirs 5+ times
Yes it’s a Maxonar one VESA certified. That’s a sign of a dodgy cable though is it?

Just to expand on this, I've been messing around with overdrive settings and +2 looks horrible to me
Can definitely notice heavier black smearing in games, +1 is maybe manageable but I will probably stick to 0 for now.
No Maxonar on the official VESA list: https://www.displayport.org/product-category/cables-adaptors/?ps=maxonar
Remember, just because a brand says their cable is VESA certified, doesn't actually mean it is!
That's really odd.Just to expand on this, I've been messing around with overdrive settings and +2 looks horrible to me

More aggressive overdrive settings should reduce dark-level smearing, at the cost of some "haloing" or overshoot.
Getting more black smearing with more aggressive overdrive is pretty much the opposite of what you should be seeing
It should be noted that that on some VA panels the dark level smearing is still really bad even at the highest overdrive setting. You might just not be seeing the level of improvement you expected...

+2 is definitely worse for me, didn't even need to use a test website to notice it. Noticed it straight away in games. I think it is overshoot but it does have a smearing effect to it, kind of like a shadow is always trailing everything.That's really odd.
