Nothing firm but I’m expecting more info this month so stay tuned

Yes we had the newest firmware for our testing. It should be released pretty soon I believe. I’ll follow up with MSI to check

update, MSI tell us it should be released mid-August :)

We will soon

No internal speakers but it has eARC sound pass through to a Soundbar. Or you can use the headphone connection

@@tftcentral it has a headphone jack?

@octoman511 ah sorry no this one doesn’t. Which is rare!

Have you isolated when this occurs? You could perhaps pick yourself up a service remote and disable TPC, it could be that tftcentral.co.uk/articles/oled-dimming-confusion-apl-abl-asbl-tpc-and-gsr-explained

@@tftcentral THank you - I'll give this a try.

I’d recommend leaving it on the default. IIRC that just artificially increases the sharpness

​@@tftcentralNice. And HDMI 2.1 mod: Console or PC? What do you recommend?

@ArthurConradi depends on what you’re connecting 😀

@tftcentral My monitor is connected to my laptop. So the PC option is better, right? 😅 Also, I turned Adaptive-Sync option on...

@ArthurConradi yes

Can’t remember if it’s in the newest firmware or not. Have you got that installed?

@tftcentral no I just got it but I'll try it first thing in the morning

If you’ve got no issues with your current screen it feels like a potentially unnecessary splurge. But that is more fun 🤩

I expect you’ve got HDR enabled all the time in windows have you?

@@tftcentral Yes that did the trick. So if i want to watch HDR movie do i have to enable & disable it everytime ?

Ideally yes. Google for the windows keyboard shortcut, that makes it quick and easy!

@@tftcentral Alrighty , thanks allot :)

Yeah, this guide no longer works with the newest firmware.

@@tarix7628 I did pre installing the firmware and after I think its a preference by them so i just went like this 79 brightness Turned off uniform brightness 65 contrast Red100 Green98 Blue92 Looks good to me

I’ve not checked but I expect it’s greyed out as off rather than on isn’t it? If it’s forced on in the menu, just disable it from your graphics card menu on that side 😀

@@tftcentral It's forced on at all times in 480 Hz (greyed out as choice). Disabling it in Nvidia control panel, the monitor still reports it's operating in VRR mode. In 240 Hz, the monitor doesn't report VRR when it's turned off in Nv control panel. There's no flicker at 480 Hz with VRR turned on in Nv control panel. At 240 Hz, it flickers in VRR just like my 240 Hz 1440p LG oled. I don't think the VRR feature works at all at 480 Hz, but the monitor falsely reports it as on.

@jcnikoley yeah that seems the likeliest scenario if it’s reporting it on when you’ve disabled it from NVCP. Sounds like you wanted it off anyway, so that’s all good 👍

Yeah still a very good monitor. Not really been much newer in that Mini LED space as all the investment has been in oled really.

@@tftcentral it’s just extremely tough to find something non-OLED for someone who works from home and games. Do you guys have a recommendations page for productivity and gaming monitors?

@Junga1234 only for gaming monitors by size, but you might find something in there that’s suitable tftcentral.co.uk/recommendations/tftcentral-recommendations-list-gaming-monitors

Thank you for the feedback and I’m really glad that new testing and data was useful 😀

They released update firmware where it did fix the crushing of Blacks. Dont have the monitor myself but seen a couple of reviewers mention this

@@uncannygambit The first thing I did was install that firmware. It was awful with it, I can’t imagine how bad it was without that firmware.

All OLED's have VRR flicker sadly including this one. Refer to Rtings review.

tftcentral.co.uk/articles/heres-why-you-should-only-enable-hdr-mode-on-your-pc-when-you-are-viewing-hdr-content

@@tftcentral Eh on OLED it looks identical to srgb mode. After tuning it with the slider in windows I can't tell the difference between srgb and HDR with sdr content. Feels like that article was written for lcd panels.

@BeHempy if you want to run it with HDR on all the time, that’s fine. I wouldn’t. You’re right that it can be less of an issue on OLED though, but not every screen behaves as nicely as the C2.

@@tftcentral Cool thanks for the responses.

No, not yet I’m afraid

Hoping to review that screen soon so watch this space 😀

It was released quite a long way in advance in the Us but we had to wait a while to get our hands on one in the UK. Glad you enjoyed it 😀

Well not dangerous, no. But it might increase your risk of image retention. Just be careful with static uses, use the image OLED care options provided. And you’ve got a warranty cover too so you should be fine

@@tftcentral i understand thank you for the information sir.

You mean as reported by Windows HDR calibration tool? That will be a bug with the way it's reporting info sent from the monitor to the tool, but actual luminance will be different to what that figure shows on the screen - i mean it shows that for 100% full white window too i expect, which isn't realistic on an OLED. Just make sure you've set to 'high' peak brightness and you should be achieving up to 1300 nits peak for small APL %

@@tftcentral No, it's reporting 600 nits in windows and in the NVIDIA app. And doing calibrations both using windows and in games they clip at 600. you must disable dsc apparently and change some settings in cru to make it clip at 1300 nits. there are posts online about it. but I want to play at 240hz not 120...

Best way to do it then would be to just skip the Windows HDR calibration process. although even if you follow it, it won't really be clipping you at 600 nits....it won't impact the actual peak luminance being output by the screen, I've tried in the past to deliberately lower it using that tool and then re-measuring the luminance with a device and it doesn't impact it). It's just a bug with the figure being reported by the monitor to the app, quite a few of these new screens have the same issue.

I also had that problem. One of the many flaws the LG has. Returned it. Got the PG32UCDP, works much better out of the box.

@Neekzu we’ve got a review of that model and best settings guide coming very soon 😀

why is that?

@@tftcentral price is too high for what's provided. A mediocre HDR display with worse brightness than the newer revised 27" 1440p model. The dual mode is a gimmick. I was thoroughly disappointed. In fact, the matte coating was one of the only things that impressed me, it's definitely one of the best I've seen. The C series is a larger display for cheaper most of the time. Sure, it's not 240hz, but it's good enough and has much better HDR implementation.

@@DrakonR Cope.

@@BeHempy great rebuttal, I bet it took a whole 2 seconds to rub two brain cells together for that one. 👍

@@DrakonR Cope harder.

I expect it’s because you’ve got HDR enabled all the time in windows which you don’t want

What graphics card do you have? Quite probable you’ve only got HDMI 2.0 which won’t support any higher.

RTX 4070ti super, I would have thought the monitor would ship with a 2.1 cable.

@timdance426 yeah it does, and your card should be fine. Should work. Check in NVIDIA control panel in case you’re in the tv section instead of pc section. Also maybe try changing via windows display settings instead

For accuracy I’d leave that alone but you can tweak it if you feel it helps

@@tftcentral I prefer it at 0. Someone made a video and they recommended 70. I know at the end of the day it’s all a matter of preference, I just think that the oversaturated color look isn’t for me. I use it mainly for web browsing and gaming.

It’s probably a combination of both the unusual pixel layout and the low pixel density. Note that the 39” models are using WOLED panels as opposed to QDOLED and overall I think those show more fringing and text clarity problems, even where the screen size is the same. So you’d see some improvements moving to a smaller screen with higher density, and also to a QDOLED panel I think

@@tftcentral I am going to be returning the LG39 inch today. I really enjoyed the product height and curve and will miss it. Do you think the MSI MPG 341CQPX is a good purchase to fill the gap? I will be using it for work and gaming. I think I would get at least 10-12 extra PPI going to a 34 inch 1440 OLED.

@Junga1234 I think it’s a really good 34” oled yes. I think you’ll find text better than the Lg you’re returning

@@tftcentral it’s a tough decision because I work from home 8 hours a day and I will have to battle OLED burn in. I’m also interested in the AW3225QF but not sure my 4080 can perform that well.

It’s slightly more grainy than modern IPS coating. Although it’s only slight

@@tftcentral I guess i'll have to just try and see, right now the Asus PG27AQDM seems to be something to replace my CX240 with. I'm just worried about lifetime, i highly doubt OLED will last 12 years like my current monitor. Then again i'm a low brightness user due to sensitive eyes. I just my CX240 at only 50 CD/m².

Just use the slider as guided and ignore the number it lists. It’s often wrong or misaligned

@@tftcentral Thanks for the fast answer! What about in games? for example in RDR2 where i have to manually set the peak brightness

@lemasespandon again just follow the slider /guidance and ignore the number reported 😀

Depends on the input device but for a Pc it should be on high

Not sure on that I’m afraid. You may need to contact MSI to ask, or perhaps see if the user manual documentation includes any info that helps

@@tftcentral they came back fast and confirmed stand offs are included in the box :)

I’d say so yes! Decent saving there for a great screen

@@tftcentral Thanks! Ordered it right now and can’t wait to try it out coming from just cheap LCD’s. I’ll also adjust the settings to your best settings video on it too.
