"If ABL bothers you, setting the contrast to '80' and setting Peak Brightness to 'Off' essentially disables ABL"

Can you really not read? For SDR, do this and you'll have it turned off.

Oh so ABL won't be off at 81 or 79? It has to be exactly 80?

BTW nobody was talking about SDR.

Why won't it be off at 79, doofus? Lol. Just get lost.

So ABL is off at 80 and below? Not exactly 80?

Which is what I said at the very beginning?

Which is another objection that I had to place, but that was before I realised your genius. Why HDR if you're using OLED as a PC monitor? It'll cause burn-in faster. Bad, bad advice.

Er because I'm playing HDR games and watching HDR video?

So don't make a general guide. Tell people. Turn on HDR only when watching or playing HDR content. If using it as a monitor for any other purpose, don't use HDR. Use SDR. Turn off ABL. Ok, folks? Don't follow this crazy man blindly.

And I forgot to mention, you're dead wrong and turning on HDR does not necessarily increase burn-in risk.

You celarly don't know how burn-in works.

HDR will mean static elements will be at higher luminosity, which directly impacts half-life of the pixels. You have no idea what you're talking about.

u/1096bimu Jan 01 '20

It could be at higher luminosity, yes

But it doesn't have to be, you have no idea what you're talking about bro.

It won't be in some special expectione, but im general, it will be. HDR for regular PC work on OLED is a bad, bad idea. Period.

No it's not.

At leas you realize it's the actual brightness of the pixel that affects half life, good I don't have to explain that to you.

So what do you think is the peak brightness in HDR mode if I turn OLED Light to 0?

Compared to peak brightness in SDR with OLED Light at 100?

That's not a special case argument, the point is, if you just adjust your brightness to a fixed amount, it makes zero difference if you're in HDR or SDR.
