What sort of colour settings are you guys using?

Mine is mostly default OOBE at the moment. If you go into SmartImage, left most menu button, I have that usually set to off and reduced the brightness down a bit to around 50. I'm trying out the SmartImage Game mode atm but have reduced the brightness as this mode sets it to 100.

Having sat down in front of it for a little longer I've changed mine so far to:

SmartImage: Off
Colour Temperature: 6500K (out of box setting)
HDR: Vesa HDR 400 (out of box setting)
AdaptiveSync: On (out of box setting)
Brightness: Reduced to 30
Contrast: 50 (out of box setting)
Sharpness: 50 (out of box setting)

This looks about right to me in a dark room, not too harsh on the eyes, will need to revisit and check during the day.

Anyone using the webcam on this and can compare it to dedicated cameras such as the logi C920 etc?
I'm in need of a new webcam and mentally justifying the purchase of the monitor with the included camera. It's only going to be used for work/teams i.e. no streaming.

It's quite grainy but I think it will be fine for Teams although I've not tested the mic.

Hi, I just got this monitor, is the supplied usb-c-c/a cable good enough? First day everything worked but second day laptop is complaining that it is charging slowly. So I guess it is not getting 90W. Do you think another usb-c cable would solve this?
Thanks.

I've never used that cable on mine but a proper USB-C PD rated one has not given me any issues. Make sure you get one that is rated for the PD requirement of your laptop.
