**As of 6/6/2024, LG has released a firmware update that corrects the horrible black crush in HDR using Gamer 1. The over brightened highlights of Peak Brightness set to High remain though. It's now usable.
*Reuploaded with some EOTF measurements and further findings.
LG 32GS95UE's current HDR performance is a complete mess. EOTF tracking is poor, it crushes blacks, and accessing the service menu to disable CPC (vignette effect) is necessary to get the most out of the panel but this can't be done permanently or without consequence.
Too compromised for me to recommend until a firmware update address the EOTF tracking at least.
How to access service menu:
1. Power off monitor
2. Using joystick input: left, left, left, right, power on
3. Upon boot access menu OSD like normal and you'll be greeted with service menu. Be careful in there because a wrong selection can brick the display.
