Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Guess you missed this a few years ago:

Samsung ended up settling the case by adding the "VRR Control" feature to their monitors (OLED and VA) which "solved" VRR flicker but...
Thanks for testing this.
By default, Movie picture mode usually has the best accuracy. Just make sure you switch from 'active' to 'static' HDR tone mapping and leave ST.2084 at 0. The peak brightness setting on all QD-OLED monitors is a mixed bag. Often the 'off' setting or TrueBlack400 mode...
Has anyone checked how much black crushing is present on this model in HDR content? You can use either this or this black clipping test pattern on youtube to determine the lowest gray level it can display in HDR. Make sure you're in a dark room for this test.
You don't need advanced service menu access to change the maxlux setting because it's under SVC -> Option_hdmi. Here is a video showing the menu on this exact OLED G8 32" G80SD monitor. I think you will need a service remote to access the menu unless there's a way to do it with the mobile...
Sounds like you need to change the Maxlux setting in service menu. See this thread:

Does this model support BFI or is that feature only available on the Asus variant? If it's supported, can it do it at 60Hz or only 120Hz like the Asus?
Looks like another advantage vs the Asus which tftcentral said crushed everything below box 6. Maybe the slight gamma curve dip they showed on this MSI was done on purpose to avoid the crushing. Hope they add a menu in the future to allow selecting alternate gamma curves - 2.2, 2.4, etc.
How is the black crush? When looking at this pattern in a pitch-black room, what's the lowest numbered square you can distinguish when running in SDR?

Agreed. Test patterns are useless as every TV and monitor manufacturer games them for years.
Even the few English reviewers who claim to measure real scenes never actually show you what those real scenes are (ex. Monitors Unboxed) and/or they pick proprietary scenes that are not available to...
How is the dark gray uniformity on this thing? Is it as poor as every other OLED TV/monitor on the market? Rtings review (link) of the bent version of this panel on the Dell aw3225qf doesn't sound promising:
"However, like any OLED, there are thin gray vertical lines in dark scenes, but you...
Wouldn't surprise me if it just appears randomly on Amazon at any moment the way their QD-OLED TVs did. Samsung Electronics (not the Display panel division) just doesn't appear interested in generating much pre-launch media buzz for these products.
Nice to see you here too. Looking forward to reading your results. You might be the first calibrator to post feedback since HDTVtest will take weeks for a full evaluation.
When you do your "before" measurements, try with different window sizes and different menu brightness settings. One of...
One thing to keep an eye out for...Samsung's older OLED panels used in laptops were very unstable depending on what's on the screen and panel brightness setting. So you could get a perfect calibration with 10% windows, then change the pattern window size or adjust menu brightness setting and...
Oh, in that case gamma would only be available for SDR. Typically in the 2.2 - 2.4 range to properly view that SDR test pattern.
Maybe someone running desktop in SDR mode can check the same pattern? Link.
