This Ruins QD OLED Monitors - HDR400 vs Peak 1000
Over the last year I’ve reviewed more HDR monitors than I can count, and by far my favorite display technology has got to be QD OLED when it comes to gaming thanks to its inky shadows, near instantaneous response times, and superior HDR color volume when compared to WOLED, but to my shock and pure disgust, there is a setting which I’ve seen a ton of users, and even some reviewers suggest you enable that, at least in my opinion as someone who reviews displays for a living will basically completely ruin this monitor.
That setting is the HDR peak 1000 mode on monitors, and despite 1000 being larger than 400, and the fact that it shows up as better in testing programs like Calman, today I’m going to prove why it’s worse by testing it in various games and in Windows using a professional light measuring device on a brand new 4K 240Hz Alienware AW3225QF, and show you how to get these best results out of your brand new monitor.

@dontpokethebear3893 Месяц назад

If you’re in a dark/black room, you want to use HDR1000 instead of True Black 400. I know you’re doing this testing but nobody needs 200 nits APL in a dark room. You’ll get a better experience with a lower APL and brighter highlights.

@thedisplayguy Месяц назад

It depends on what you want. Realistically we would need 1000nits APL and 4000nits peak to have a convincingly good daytime HDR scene with high dynamic range. If you don’t care about daytime HDR then that’s different I suppose.

@stevetriple8 Месяц назад

Have to agree, have spent weeks going back and forth between the two options in loads of different games in many different scenes and overall I just prefer the dynamic range you get from P1000 over the higher APL of TB400 and that's coming from someone that smashes everything to 100% brightness at every chance he gets. I've also found a way to bring P1000 closer in line by simply just increasing the paper white setting in the brighter games. It clips the highlights slightly but it also brings those mid grey's up so that the APL is much more similar to TB400 whilst maintaining that peak brightness.

Did you make a separate HDR profile in Windows using Windows HDR Calibration for both options? Though, I have no device to measure the tiny differences I see no difference between HDR400 and HDR1000 in Windows at all.

@Axl21 Месяц назад

You have to make a seperate Windows HDR calibration profile if you are using any of those modes. If you don't, then your monitor might use 1000 nits on HDR 400 and bright things will become too bright. Or might use 400 nits when using HDR 1000, and the brightness will never reach maximum.

Do you advice buying oleds right now or is it just better to wait? Ideally i'd want a 1440p 27/32 ultrawide with black frame insertion techs

@darkpatronus6320 Месяц назад

A good comparison website for monitors is "rtings". I went from a lg 27gp850 to a AW3225QF. But less due to a better image and more due to getting headache and eye strain from the lg one. The fonts look much clearer on the Alienware Monitor (may be partially because of 4K instead of 1440p). But also the blooming/IPS glow on the Alienware Monitor is gone. Also, if you compare a completly white background on the two monitors, the lg 27gp850 looks way more grainy than the AW3225QF. (Black dots??? on the supposedly white background) All this toghether makes the AW3225QF more easy on the eyes for me. Of course the colors are also better but for me it isn't that big of a difference. (Except for deeper blacks)

This is my favorite video on the channel so far. Spread the knowledge! These monitors are only HDR True Black 400 terrified. These HDR Peak 1000 (there's no such certification, btw) modes are forcing them to operate out of specs, unable to adhere to any of the established standards for HDR image reproduction. They can't and aren't meant to be accurate in any way, akin to Vivid picture modes on TVs. Some people may ultimately prefer them regardless, but they absolutely should not be the default recommendation and the main focus of the reviews.

Hdr400 mode can look like garbage in some auto hdr games

@nothingelse1520 Месяц назад

If you didn't run the Windows 11 Windows HDR Calibration app from the Windows Store after switching between modes then all of your tests are irrelevant as the monitor isn't calibrated for the mode you are using.

I bought an OLED monitor for the first time this month. And how disappointed I was 😪, exactly for this reason... Especially if you're used to how OLED TVs look. Right now it's just not worth spending that much money on a monitor. The technology needs to improve first. It felt like a downgrade in some ways and and this way you can't enjoy the full potential this technique has to offer...

@wkndwarrior3532 Месяц назад

Basically it boils down to how you use your monitor and where. I mostly game, and in a very light controlled room (dark) so its fantastic. If you want to use it for anything other than that, I suspect it will disappoint when compared to OLED TVs.

I will say games like dead space though i think 1000 is best but most all games 400 for sue

I hope @thedisplayguy on top of HDR400 true black vs HDR1000 modes can also compare those brightness in games and windows with TV like LG C4 42/48". It's better to visualize in charts to viewers that how much difference not only between HDR400 and HDR 1000 modes but also in some better display technology (TV) like C4 and G4. I personally believe that whatever how those 32" gaming monitor advertising peak brightness, but in fact OLED still an organic self-lit pixels. The higher PPI means smaller pixels (imagine each as single light source/lightbulb), smaller pixels means to theoretically has lower brightness. Just take different sizes across same model for OLED TV, you will found that larger TV always has overall higher brightness even though same panel same design, same ABL/APL/ASBL and etc. 32" definitely is a good sweet spot for 4k PC gaming, but I rather to stick with larger panel size like 42" to have overall better performance. And 42" TV like LG C series are all the way cheaper than these new 32" 4k OLED monitors.

I want to know how none of your "Monitor Reviewers" realised hdr400 was brighter lol i noticed the first day i got my monitor 😅 youre 3 months to late with this video. But least youre making the other reviewers are jusr keeping their heads in the sand

I’ve been mentioning it for years. Just never made a video.

@@thedisplayguy well im glad its finally getting some coverage as its pretty shocking the difference to me visually.

If you have to use hdr 400 to get a brighter overall image, you are closer to an sdr experience than an decent hdr one. Sad.

It's not like OLED TVs are 1000 nits fullscreen anyway

@Keivz Месяц назад

@@Neucher The gulf isn’t nearly as wide compared to the monitor world. Oled TV real scene brightness matches mini led real scene brightness most of the time. But indeed, there are times mini led tv’s give a more impactful overall hdr image (desert scenes for example), it just doesn’t happen as often as it does with monitors.

I have now owned 32” asus qd oled… it was completely unusable in bright room… blacks were purple… completely voids the purpose of oled… I got my lg 2 days ago… its no competition… lg keeps its blacks an comparing side by side the screen coating made no difference at playing distance…

Is the purple tint noticeable when the lights aren't hitting directly to the screen? Or even with dim lights?

I got the LG since I usually play guitar on a well lit room. I knew the raised blacks will not be good on my use case. Also, I like playing horror games with all the lights on. No contest, the LG wins and I’ve been using mine with all my lights on.

I'm running the msi qd oled 360hz 1440p. I put it on 1000 nits off rip because 1000 is beter than 400 right? But after watching this and switching it back, it is a brighter image. Thx bro.
