Color performance after a full software calibration
In order to use the XG27AQDMG for professional image and video editing, there is no way around correcting the settings in the OSD or performing a software calibration. As not everyone has the appropriate hardware and software, I naturally offer both solutions.
OSD Setting D65 @ 200 Nits and full calibration with Portrait Displays Calman Ultimate
If you prefer the wide gamut mode in the OSD, you should use the following settings. This basically gives you very good performance for Display P3 (Gamma 2.2 and D65).
The color accuracy that can be achieved with a software calibration is more than sufficient. I think you can live with it very well.
OSD Setting D65 @ 200 Nits OSD sRGB/DCI-P3 Color Space
Those of you who rely on the sRGB and DCI-P3 color space without software should make these settings in the OSD. These settings refer to both color spaces, which you can select in the OSD. I find it a pity that ASUS has once again failed to ensure that the settings affect all color spaces equally. Now I measure these settings – without calibrating the monitor using software!
From my point of view, the result is satisfactory. Especially because you don’t need a colorimeter or software for this. This is a “hardware calibration” that anyone can do.
This is how the monitor should have been delivered by ASUS!
Spectral distribution and “Eye-Safe”
The spectral analysis shows us the typical WOLED image.
Spectral distribution @ D65, 200 nits (100 % white window)
In terms of eye-safe, the blue light component peaks at exactly 455 nm. To what extent this can already be described as eye-safe – that cannot be answered with certainty.
Uniformity
The XG27AQDMG has good image uniformity, at least my sample does. I couldn’t detect any dirty screen effect or color banding. Near black chrominance overshoot was also barely noticeable. A significant improvement compared to the LG 32GS95UX. Please note: The panel lottery naturally plays a role here. A member of the forum had bought the XG27AQDMG and according to him – there were problems with color banding.
Image errors and other issues
The XG27AQDMG works perfectly with AMD or NVIDIA GPUs. It supports both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync. Of course, VRR flicker can also occur with this monitor, but a frame limiter usually helps to minimize this. ASUS also offers the option of minimizing the VRR range in the OSD.
Anti-flicker off means that you can use the full VRR range from 40 to 240 Hz including LFC. Anti-flicker middle means that the VRR range goes from 160 to 240 Hz without LFC. Anti-flicker strong means that you can only use 200 to 240 Hz without LFC. Of course, this assumes that you also deliver the necessary FPS in accordance with the minimized VRR range, because otherwise you are trading flicker for tearing. At least ASUS offers a way to prevent the issue of VRR flicker.
Of course, I also have to address the issue of text readability again. If you also want to use this monitor as an office monitor, you will have to come to terms with the poorer text readability (compared to an LCD monitor). Personally, I don’t see a big problem here, but that’s just my opinion.
Sound reproduction
There are no built-in speakers. Sound via 3.5 mm jack works.
