This is a strange product. I work as a 3d artist in game development and it's a great monitor for productivity, I can have so many applications on the screen at once it keeps me in the zone instead of tabbing out lots. That said, there are some compatibility issues, especially with full screen applications like games. Some games are great, others were clearly not designed to be on this aspect ratio. And the ones that dont work can sometimes be put to windowed mode and work ok while others can't. I've sound success in most games but it varies. Other than full screen applications this monitor is totally worth it if you're looking to get it to work on, but dont get this if you're only a gamer or just want to watch videos and browse the web (obviously) The Custom picture mode works well for all content if you don’t mind a little extra color saturation. sRGB is there if you need accuracy or are a purist, but with 88% coverage of DCI-P3 SDR material doesn’t look oversaturated on the G9. And you can use HDR in Windows without penalty. The brightness control remains available if you want to dial down the output, but even with brightness set to its maximum, the Windows desktop never looked too harsh. We experimented with the Local Dimming and Dynamic Contrast options using both static and moving images. Local Dimming is a toggle, off or auto. Dynamic Contrast has two levels, the more aggressive of which grays out the brightness control and makes the picture quite vivid. It’s usable for games or videos but only for short periods. The Standard option is a little easier on the eyes and allows for brightness adjustments. It increased contrast nicely without clipping any highlight or shadow detail.For worlds of gaming and more.

The system menu has the rest of the monitor’s convenience options and the local dimming option. Auto works well for both SDR and HDR content and leaves brightness available so you can set the peak output anywhere you wish. Dynamic Contrast is also effective with two levels of aggressiveness. Standard leaves the brightness adjuster available, while Ultimate grays it out and displays a very bright and contrasty image.The anti-glare layer is very effective, which is good because avoiding reflections with a screen of this shape and size would be difficult. It’s still a good idea to avoid sunny windows, as they can wash out parts of the image. But it is bright enough to combat medium to bright room lighting.

Absolutly jaw dropping stunning monitor, use it mainly for flight simulation and have not found a sim yet that does not support it, play the odd games too at times and so far so good, but this monitor is really a dedicated flight simulation monitor and in by Colin The pixel load was enough that ou r GeForce RTX 3090 couldn’t quite max the framerate at 240 frames per second (fps) but stayed around 200 fps, more than enough to keep action smooth. We noticed that with Adaptive-Sync on, overdrive became grayed out. We didn’t miss it though, because there were no trails behind moving objects. Motion blur was visually non-existent. We made use of the aiming points from the Game menu but missed a frame counter. FRAPS had to be engaged to monitor our play speeds.
