The OSD settings is overdrive and the higher its set the faster the pixels will change. TFTCentral recommends keeping it set to normal for best results as extreme adds pretty bad overhsoot which will lead to trails/ghosting. Also make sure you have set your refresh rate to 144hz in nvidia control panel (cant remember if it defaults to that). If you press the turbo button (above the power button) is should say turbo 144hz on screen. (I was under the impression that this button was supposed to switch between the different refresh rates but it doesnt for me, just lets me know which refresh rate i've got it set at in nvidia control panel).
My settings fully calibrated are:
Colour Temp: User Mode
Red: 95
Green: 95
Blue: 100
Brightness: 24
Contrast: 50
That gives me a white point of 6505k with a brightness of 120cd/m2 which is what I like best. Any brighter and I find it way to harsh. I'm coming from a 1440p IPS and the colours while not as deep/rich are still very good in my opinion. Much much better then my old benq 11t which was horrible.

Yeah I heard that you shouldent really use an ICC profile that some other have made for their unit, as you say it will be different from unit to unit and maybe even what else hardware you also have. So thats what I dont get it that TftCentral says, please use our profiles, dont seems right at all heh.
Yeah I notice how white drastically changes dependent on how you set up the brightness, so I will play around and find what I like best then
Btw, what colour profile in the OSD do you use yourself, Varm or ?
And a big thank you mate, for learning me how it works, appreciated a lot
Could you take a picture of the settings?@Baddass!
If I remember correctly, did you say that it was best to set the colour to Varm on the ROG monitor ?
Couldent find it in the review over TftCentral but maybe it was somewhere in this thread you mentioned it ?
It seem to be the best at Varm, atleast at what my eyes tells me, the white seems right on varm and then just adjust the brightness to your liking, have mine at 25 right now (for 120cdm it was on 18 @tft)
Or did I have it backwards, was it best to set it at User Mode and have say, 20 Brighness ?
Best regards!
No problem.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'Varm' and colour profiles in the OSD though?
not sure what you mean by Varm, or do you mean warm? don't think i've recommended anything other than the settings listed in the TFTCentral review under the calibration section. to be honest, with such a decent out of the box gamma and white point, all you really need to adjust is brightness to get a decent picture. i don't think you'd see much real difference if you then calibrated it with a colorimeter unless you were doing matching between different screens/devices. plus as PCM2 has said, profiles are lost during games and movies anyway on the most part.
you could always just try the calibrated profile from the TFTCentral review anyway combined with the recommended OSD settings
