Looking for screen money tight

[Techen]

I got mine today, Great screen. Insanely bright compared to my asus, Had to turn the brightness WAAAY down for it not to blind me.

Overall, Love the stand. It's amazing, So use to just a normal stand where you get slight angles but this stand. My god, Yes please....

As for the detail, Spot on. It would be unfair but I swear this screen looks far sharper than my asus one, Maybe because it's running disport instead of the old style stuff.

Lastly, Messing around with G sync. I tried WoW with it, I donno if its working or not but it's amazing none the less. No issues with it at all.

Now comes BF4.... Suddenly sits at 56-58fps on two GPUs, V sync is OFF! Why is it stuck here, I was running at 150fps avg before I used g sync so am very confused now...

Ok, whilst I'm embarrassing myself with silly questions...

I'm wondering about the practicality of ULMB given its impacts on brightness. Basically, whenever I use ULMB even at pulse-width 100, the display is too dim at the settings I generally use. Now, I could have course enable ULMB and then tinker with the brightness again until I find an acceptable setting, but...

Does this mean I'd have to manually adjust the brightness (and possibly contrast and colours?) every time I want to switch between ULMB and 144Hz/g-sync? Obviously which one I want working will vary from situation to situation, but not to put too fine a point on it, going into the OSD to change settings regularly is a pain in the backside (especially since it's quite slow to use).

Am I missing something, or is this just the way it works?

Generally I'm so pleased with 144Hz at the moment, I'm minded to just leave as is and enjoy the benefits of g-sync as well. However, this is because I've just come from a 60Hz display and I'm sure as my brain adjusts I'll be better able to see benefits of things like ULMB, so it would be nice to know if it can be enabled and set up relatively easily.

I thought ULMB essentially acts as a completely different mode in the OSD and has its own brightness and contrast settings. Once you exit ULMB it should revert back to whatever you were using before. Or maybe I'm remembering this wrong. The other thing you could do if it's really only the brightness you are concerned about is also use a different 'Color Temperature' preset (like 'User' or 'sRGB' or whatever you don't use normally) which should have its own brightness and contrast associations.

Ah yeah, you're right - for brightness and contrast at least.

I do find I want to adjust the colours as well, though, when using ULMB, but then the new settings remain when I turn ULMB off again.

Perhaps I'm just being picky...

Edit: Oh, and the gamma sticks between modes as well. I find myself liking gamma one for ULMB and three for non-ULMB, but I have to manually adjust. Oh well. Not a huge deal really.
