If you want HDR in your non hdr games, use SpecialK and not 'auto hdr.' SK is really well done and actively developed. The biggest drawback is that as of now, the recording tools I've tested so far, shadowplay/xbox dvr/obs are not able to capture the HDR metadata when using SK. The capture software hooks the render pipeline before the SK injection takes place and for the time being, that can't be fixed.
Outside of that limitation, it works great: https://wiki.special-k.info/
@TNA nice! i'm splitting gaming time between Halo: Infinite and GotG myself. Both are stunning with HDR.
Don't think anyone really knows, not even Dell themselves.Just checked for a delivery date and it's stating September, does that normally get brought forwards?
So a few quirks with this monitor.
1) My PC is set to turn the monitor off after 5 mins of inactivity.
Sometimes I'll come back and the monitor will be in standby mode, and wakes up with the PC, other times it's off completely and needs to be physically switched on with the power button - This also disables the USB ports.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it though - One time I left the PC on overnight downloading and the monitor woke from standby, other times I go for a dog walk for an hour and the monitor is off when I come back. Any thoughts?
2) Twice i've been using it now (once when gaming) and the message has appeared about pixel refreshing. Obviously I don't want this whilst I am in the middle of a game. Any suggestions?
OK thanks, a bit of a wait then. I'll go through this thread and see about any discounts...Don't think anyone really knows, not even Dell themselves.
There's not really been any consistency to their shipments so far, just small batches going out here and there. In the US they've apparently not had a batch go out since the day it launched. I think in terms of UK pre-orders they're up to people who ordered at 8:30 am on the morning of launch. So still a long way to clear through the backlog. Just depends on whether they've managed to ramp up production with the panels allegedly having a higher yield rate now.
If the screen doesn't go blank when you seemingly revert it back to peak 1000 mode, it was still in peak 1000 mode, and it's only a bug that shows in the OSD.3) The monitor seems to default the HDR Black 400, and I have to keep changing it to Peak 1000. Any way to keep it in Peak 1000 mode?
1) As far as I understand if it does a pixel refresh it seems to just straight up turn the monitor off instead of putting it back into stand by, not sure why.So a few quirks with this monitor.

Think the codes don't work any more but if you have got a student code/blue light code or whatever that isn't working on the monitor you could try contacting support. Apparently people have had some luck with that, might take going through a few different reps though as it seems to be luck of the draw on if a rep will help you get the discount.OK thanks, a bit of a wait then.

OMG it works turn your LG OLED into A QD-OLED for free!!
Auto HDR just converts SDR games to HDR though, not quite sure why anyone would want that really?
