Back up there Tephnos. Please help me to understand what you mean by sRGB mode locks you to fast? What other colour mode is there on the panel so you can default to Normal?

The monitor comes with several default modes that determine the colours of the monitor. All the standard modes are high gamut colour space, which gives the colours an oversaturated pop, but is also inaccurate.

sRGB mode is calibrated for the sRGB standards (what almost everything is made for), but locks down a lot of settings like the sensible kind (RGB sliders), but then also locks you out of some stupid ones like overdrive which has no effect on an sRGB calibration. Given that I can choose a specific overdrive value in the service menu, it's a completely arbitrary limitation and it bugs me LG do this.

Now if only I could bitch at them to remove it.

Ah ok thanks Tephnos, what other modes are allowing flexible settings when not in srgb?

all except srgb

The main difference is in lower Hz. Monitors typically have overdrive calibrated for higher Hz, and so things can get a bit nasty down at 30/60Hz, which is where your emulator content and so on would be. This is where a variable overdrive would kick in.

Case in point: the 34GN850 on rtings review has a little overshoot that seems noticeable on 60Hz at 'fast', but looks fine in normal. The problem? sRGB mode locks you to 'Fast'.

At least this mode would allow me to dial in the overdrive perfectly for that usage.

clear, you're right, although I really don't think very balanced going on 3840x1600 panel to do 30-60fps, regardless of whether it is gsync or gsync compatible, at this point perhaps better to aim for 34 3440x1440. just my opinion

It's for emulator usage, not badly optimised games. You'll be capped at 30-60Hz there.
 
Im really enjoying the quality of my monitor. Skeijmel is doing an excellent job of stress testing the monitor so there isn't much I can add other than my personal anecdotal experience. I ran the tests on the eizo testing wesbsite (dead pixels/color uniformity/gradients/gamma/response time etc) and everything came out really good, the picture quality its just so nice in my opinion! I had it on gamer mode 1 for the first few days and now I have it on sRGB. I like both modes so far. The contrast imho is just fine and it definitely gets really bright if you want it to be.

I cannot wait to mount this thing.

Damn you both, I'm going to be seriously butthurt when my panel isn't as perfect!
 
Some ufo tests
static

panning / following

i found out some more things i have been running srgb profile.
and noticed when u do 10 bit hdr it go's back to gamer 1 but it uses the SRGB profile or something that looks real close to it. always has. but just noticed it when moving to srgb on normal settings

Skeijmel: Have you discovered anyway to disable the "boot-up" light sequence everytime you turn the monitor on? Or disable the OSD menu that pops up after you power on? Kinda annoying.
 
No i don't know if that's even possible. but i always leave the screen on when i turn of my pc it go's into deep sleep mode and use no power. and when you then turn on the pc the screen will just go on without any sphere lighting effects.
