Nah not at all in my experience. HDR is a hassle to get working on PC to the point where I'm considering getting a PS5 for HDR gameplay Many games on PC don't support HDR and if they do it is not uncommon to be scuffed and buggy
So
I’ve got the krp 500m (the pro monitor only version of the 5090) and the added resolution over crt makes it a better viewing experience IMO. That thing will be used until they wrest if form my cold, dead hands. Maybe not COLD, since it’s basically space heater when turned on

Basic install of Reshade + Lillium (+ Shader Toggler optionally) :
. .
Mods vs Game Updates:
Another thing worth mentioning is that: "Using Reshade simplifies all the hooks necessary to tap into DirectX without worrying about patching version-specific exe files." . That should avoid the pain in the ass it would be waiting on updates to mods for every patch a game puts out.
. .
Cons of RenoDX:
..There are game-specific RenoDX mods published by RenoDX devs, and not every game has a mod for it yet.
.. It's primarily for single player games, because mods can be flagged by anti-cheat engines.
..The native settings of a mod may not be 100% to your liking for some games (but you can modifty and tweak the settings in the mod's menu).
..Some people have to disable raytracing to get it to work on certain games, but afaik that's not always the case.

Installing Lilium HDR Black Floor Fix :
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
..You run the Reshade installer once for each game you want to use it on, where in the end it automatically adds a "reshade-shaders" folder to the game's directory.
..During the install, you pick your game you want it to "inject" those folders into, and then it prompts you with a list of checkboxes next to module names, (with a short downward scroll on each page), where you select which shaders/modules you want to add.
..Choose all of the Lillium shaders from those lists, checking all of the boxes next to the modules named Lillium. You may also want to add "Shader Toggler" from those lists for later use, or get it from the shader to github page. You don't need any of the other shader modules from those lists. In fact, if you install and leave any of the default Reshade modules or other Reshade modules enabled, it can cause a performance hit. Adding more will also just overpopulate the modules list for no good reason. You can also get the the Lilium files from the Lilium github page if you want to manually put them into the reshade folders from the .7z file instead.

..The "LiLium hdr black fix" and the "Lilium sdr and hdr analizer " work well with the RenoDX mods, and will later allow you to find your game's black floor and adjust to a new black floor + new rolloff so that blacks aren't lifted, while avoiding lost detail-in-darks.
..In the end, the single RenoDX mod you download separately for the specific game from the RenoDX mods repository (if available for that game) does not use reshade shaders as a post-process. According to the dev, the RenoDX mods operate on the direct X shaders pre-process, working with the native HDR of the game, and are just using Reshade as the api to operate on those from. You simply copy the single mod file (e.g. " renodx-cp2077.addon64 " into the same directory as your game's exe.
When you launch the game after you've installed Reshade onto it and dropped the RenoDX mod into the exe's directory, reshade will load with the game automatically. To see the reshade panels after the game has fully loaded, hit the reshade hotkey, which is the "home" key by default.

It's a lot higher than 80 - 120 nits
I tried the gx950a but I didn't like it's PQ.

100%. Full panel off means no cross-talk on BFI strobes. The newer panels ought to be able to do near-CRT motion with decent brightness.
Funny how different we all are. For me, HDR is on the very bottom of image quality preference list, with resolution barely above it near the bottom. And I find my LG CX inferior to my Panny Plasma.
I'll report my findings in a thread for the display soonish. I think there may be a thread already on it. Short version - for the price I paid for it ($400 shipped for a refurb - it looks brand new) - it's hard to be mad at it for anything. The brand new price? Eh, I don't know if it's worth it, even for the BFI. Viewsonic sells it for a whopping $900.
