Settings

• Color Space: sRGB
• Gaming Mode: Standard

The accuracy before calibration in the sRGB mode is fantastic. It locks colors well to the sRGB color space, though some are undersaturated and inaccurate. It also has some white balance issues, particularly with brighter shades, but it’s still great overall. The color temperature is close to the 6,500K target, and gamma is good overall, but dark scenes are too dark, and other scenes are too bright.

There are different picture modes available, depending on the combination of settings you choose. The regular picture mode setting is called Gaming Mode, of which the ‘RTS,’ ‘Racing,’ and ‘Gamer’ modes all perform nearly the same and lock the Eco Adjustment, HDR Mode, and Color Space settings. By selecting the ‘Standard’ Gaming Mode, you can change these settings, like selecting the ‘sRGB’ Color Space. 

You can also use any of the Eco Adjustment picture modes with Gaming Mode on ‘Standard,’ Local Dimming disabled, and Color Space on ‘Panel Native.’ These Eco Adjustment modes perform the same with varying levels of brightness, except for ‘Reading,’ which is a grayscale mode. Besides ‘Standard,’ these Eco Adjustment modes lock the Brightness and Contrast settings. 

Using the sRGB mode locks the listed settings below. You’d have to use a less accurate mode to get access to these settings.
