Acer Predator XB323U Gxbmiiphzx 32" 270Hz and am hoping there is some solution to some crazy issues before I return the monitor.
I recently bought an Acer Predator XB323U Gxbmiiphzx 32" 270Hz and am hoping there is some solution to some issues I find crazy before I return the monitor. As it stands now, in Standard mode, all monitor settings work as they should, however if anyone knows about playing sRGB content on a Wide Color Gamut screen (which is about 95% of all content), the colors are extremely oversaturated and innaccurate. Obviously some tweaking of saturation levels makes it a little better, but not ideal.
There is an sRGB mode that makes it usable for sRGB content, but it locks ALL monitor settings except for brightness.
Another option that I've tried is getting windows 11 which has an auto HDR mode. This makes everything look great with the monitor in HDR mode, but again in HDR mode the monitor locks ALL SETTINGS. Not even brightness can be changed, resulting in heat coming from the monitor that can warm my entire room.
My question: is there any way that the settings can be unlocked? If not, who is this monitor for? If non HDR content looks poor unless in sRGB mode and both that mode and HDR locks all settings, what is the point of all the settings? What usage is there besides sRGB content and HDR content? As far as I know, there is no WCG content without HDR so in essence the monitor has all these neat settings that are locked if in either of the modes required for content to look great are used.
Hopefully I'm missing something here.
